That's weird, right? What did the Genious say?

How long has it been confirmed at port? I ask because I was originally told my car finished production on 4/4 - but later learned that was incorrect and it didn’t finish until 4/10.

According to them it was assigned to a carrier on the 6th, but it hasn't left for the port yet. Status 182.

Shouldn't you be status 194 - Selected for Shipment?

Sorry, I messed the codes up.

I've been 182 since 4/5 which is Handover to carrier/load assignment.

I found out that just today, over a week later it finally says 190, dispatched from AG.

How long does shipping normally take? 8 weeks?

Your car and mine might end up on the same boat.

Yours must be coming from the Made in China batch

IM2C · 04-17-2018, 12:53 PM

Hoping to catch this ride.

04/18 Status - 195 Shipped from Port of Exit

Car is on Dover Highway. Genious told me that it arrives in Georgia on May 6th. Tried to track it on marinetraffic.com, but it shows destination as Bristol, GB. Does anyone know a better website to track where final destination and ETA can be seen?

Marine traffic is only going to show you the next destination. Mine is doing the same thing - next port is Halifax Canada.

Use the W&W website to track full schedule and dates. See below.

instarand Dover Highway is not showing up on W&W. Most likely it's not a W&W ship.

I see a Bremerhaven to Charleston arriving May 1. That’s not you huh?

instarand · 04-19-2018, 12:36 PM

Sorry, that is one month behind. We need to find an updated schedule for Dover Highway - it’s a K Line ship.

IM2C · 04-20-2018, 06:24 AM

Ship's going the wrong way.

IM2C · 04-20-2018, 06:26 AM

BMW website seems to be consistently 2 days behind. Business as usual.

instarand · 04-20-2018, 08:46 AM

I knew that Marrinetraffic was going to lose updates once the ship left proximity to land, but i thought the FleetMon system was able to be a bit more up to date than this.....? May just give up on tracking until it hits Canada, then MarineTraffic should be able to track it the rest of the way on the US coast.

IM2C · 04-20-2018, 09:51 AM

I wonder how many days will making a pit stop at Bristol going to cost me.

It's all part of the ships plan, it shouldn't cost you anything.

smithf80 I wasn't clear enough. What I meant to say is how much quicker would the ship arrive if it didn't make an almost U-turn to go to Bristol.

Speaking of schedule, do you know a better website to track K-line ships?
