Oh well, I give up. I've just accepted the 3/22 date. Not much I can do about it anyway.

Yeah... she's still moored. I wonder if she got underway, had a problem, and had to dock again. I've seen cruise ships do that many times with medical issues or even a technical problem. Would make sense having that 2nd Halifax item on the itinerary. Hopefully it's not something major, if anything t all.

You cannot see her in the port, but I think Tosca just left the pier...

Just use MarineTraffic guys, forget the camera.

It looks like she's got some tugs pushing her... but what or where she's going is unclear as her destination has not changed from CA HAL.

It was the same with Figaro - she sat at empty pier for a day. My guess is: Halifax has a single RoRo dock, and there is another ship there now.

Rick955 · 03-19-2015, 10:05 AM

Yup. She went from "STOPPED" to "MOORED" so the tugs were pushing her into the pier. It looks like the two Halifax stops on her itinerary were for a dock change and her 3/20 departure date should be accurate.

Thanks Rick for looking into that! I appreciate it!!

I wish my colleagues never advised to go to marinetraffic.com, been staring at the website for 3 days like a psycho. My wife thinks something is wrong with me and she's right. Original ETA to Port in NJ was 3/18 so I wonder if something happened as the ETA keeps getting pushed out

I also saw it go from one pier to moored at another. My Tanzanite F80 is on this ship. On a positive note, more snow in NY tomorrow so it's for the best but my OCD is in full gear. Gotta go feed my kids, best of luck to all of us on this Ship. As my Dad says, these are "Champagne Problems"

Falafel Combo · 03-20-2015, 04:24 AM

Most likely reason for Tosca's delay.

Ok Tosca, now quit sipping hot cocoa up there, get off your butt and get down here. It's just some rain ya little wuss!

Falafel Combo · 03-20-2015, 06:13 PM

Tosca delayed again guys ... now arriving NY port 3/23-3/24.

VPC is closed on the weekend, but it sucks anyway.

Rick955 · 03-20-2015, 07:57 PM

Here's why Tosca is having trouble... winds were the big issue:

March 20th:
Tosca was still at Autoport today, no doubt struggling to unload its cars to clear storage. Opal Ace, which was scheduled for Thursday, March 19, has been pacing back and forth out at sea, and is now due Saturday March 22 after Tosca sails.

March 19th:
The autocarrier Opal Ace did not arrive this morning, allowing Tosca to move over to Autoport as planned.

March 18th:
Autocarier Tosca is also due to move from pier 27 to Autport. It was supposed to move Tuesday, but due to the high winds, it would not be able to stay at Autoport. It would not be a good candidate for anchoring due to its high freeboard, so it was likely moved across the camber to the lee side for the night. How Autoport will deal with one ship, let alone two will be interesting to hear.

10:00am this morning, I promised myself I would never check on Tosca's status again.

11:30am, here's your status update!

Finally man! Jeeeez!!!

I'm not sure how old this article is, but to my knowledge, neither Faust nor Independnce were scheduled to stop in Halifax? I must be confusing the ships. Oh brother ...

I hope they don't get delayed too!!

Agreed, I hope they don't endure the "trauma" we've encontered

but that was an update from 3/12/15.

I'm a CA at Rallye BMW, was told 20ft seas, which makes some sense based on your pic of the storm. In any event, this has been one of the longest voyages I've seen, of course it's my(our) cars on the ship so I can appreciate patience. That said, we got to miss the snow from yesterday so it's for the best. Good luck!!!!

This was the original schedules for these three way back before they sailed..

03/03/2015 NEW YORK, NY 03/18/2015 TOSCA
03/13/2015 NEW YORK, NY 03/26/2015 FAUST
03/17/2015 NEW YORK, NY 04/03/2015 INDEPENDENCE

Tosca... well, you know where that went. Independence II is still scheduled to stop in Halifax, and they show into NY on 4/2. Faust was originally scheduled to stop in Halifax. It left Bremerhaven 4 days late and fortunately, Halifax was removed which puts them into NY only 2 days later than the original scheduled date above.

With Tosca arriving in NY on Monday and my dealer in NY am I crazy to think I may be able to pick up my car that Friday?

It is possible, depends how fast it clears the VPC. My 335 was in CT 2 days after it arrived.
