Morning Calypso - Bremerhaven to Hueneme (8/7

Vroomm · 08-08-2016, 05:03 PM

Called BMW genius this morning and they said my car is finally on a ship. Looks like I am on Morning Calypso headed to port Hueneme.

Anyone else on this ship? Figured I'll start a thread so we can share updates here.

The estimated arrival is 9/2. As of now, it's anchored at Bruge, Belgium:

Tracked my VIN this morning and my M3 is on the Morning Calypso as well. Scheduled to be in Baltimore on 8/19.

Didn't know they were going to make a stop at Baltimore.

Tried to attach a photo of the Ship's schedule. Hopefully it uploads correctly. Looks like only 2 stops after Baltimore. Panama and then CA on Sept 2nd

My car is also on this ship. Can't wait for it to arrive!

Interestingly enough, my VIN does not show up on WW's tracker. I had the VIN to another car that my CA accidentally shared with me thinking that was mine and that showed up just fine. I am hoping mine will show up soon, just to be sure that it really is on the ship.

Anyways, I see that it has departed Bruge now. Getting closer!!!

Same here.

Anyone have an idea how long it takes for the car to get from from California to Portland Oregon? Never ordered a car this way before...

BMW of Portland? Mine's going to Portland too. Since I have some port installed accessories, I am targeting three weeks from the ship's ETA, which is 9/2.

Here is a pic of the current location of the Morning Calypso.

Sweet! Getting closer

Thanks for the update. I have been checking marinetraffic and vesselfinder but it seems to be giving me a stale update from 8/11.

dwd08 · 08-14-2016, 07:30 PM

Ended up giving fleetmon my credit card info but as long as I cancel before 14 days they will not charge my card. That was the only way I could get satellite AIS updates

You can cancel immediately after singing up for the 14 day trial and you'll keep the satellite tracking for the full 14 days

Thanks for the heads up. Just cancelled but as you said still works for the 14 days.

Yup. Great guy to work with!

Docked at BAL. It's late by a day. New ETA To Hueneme: 9/3.

Yeah. WW site tracking shows my car has been discharged but nothing about linear release or customs yet. Hoping to take delivery next Friday but that may be a bit optimistic.

At least, it has touch the ground. We expect pics as soon as you take delivery

I still cannot track my VIN on the WW site. It still says "no records found" and the genius(es) still claim that it is on this ship. I am going to be so pissed if it's otherwise.

if you are doing a copy&paste, make sure that you remove the space within the VIN. Otherwise it will not work.

I agree. It's been a great experience so far.

My vessel just completed this same exact trip. The wait is killer but worth it!

I should be getting my car sometime this next week!
