It is, but there's a tug approaching - could be on its way out!

Thanks for the update dinonz.

No worries. It's still sitting there not moving - but the tug is positioned nose in at the rear...

dinonz · 05-11-2016, 02:58 PM

She's moving - ETA says May 13, 08:00 - doesn't mention if that's UTC though.

I'm home now and can see she is on the move. NYC here we come

So let's assume 60 minutes to get it off the ship and another 25 minutes to the dealership. Should have my car by 10 am Friday. Haha.

I wonder if we can just collect them from the ship? Help them out by unloading them ourselves?

As of this morning the Thalatta is (roughly) 300 km east of Cape Cod. It should be able to reach the port at NJ late today. Perhaps there's a lot of traffic at the port forcing the vessel to stay at sea until tomorrow.

My app doesn't show the ship again.

Also - seems that it was over 300 nm away 3 hours ago so even mathematically it would take until just before tomorrow to get in.

Looks like she is moving quickly at 17.4 kn.

As the crow flies, she's 302nm from USNYC, which at 17.4 knots is about 17.4 hours. Obviously, she's not sailing as the crow flies, but close. And will be slower in the harbor - but I still think < 19 hours is a reasonable guess for time to dock, which puts it at about 3:30am CST, or 4:30am EST. Provided those port workers start at 6am or earlier (as they should) the cars should be unloaded tomorrow!

Can someone ask the captain to check if I got the MPSS or Contis?

Heh. Pretty sure I got MPSS because I got ZCP and that's all that's coming on it as far as I know.

Add me to that list please. Since I had winter rentals for my ED I have no idea what I got. Probably Contis

NHman · 05-13-2016, 05:39 AM

The Thalatta appears to be docking now.

trey100 · 05-13-2016, 06:33 AM

The Eagle has landed.

Now it's a question of processing time through the VPC. Though since you're in NY, perhaps you'll have the car by early next week.

Yep. I've always gotten mine within 3 days believe it or not. I always read of people that say the dealership received their cars so they can pick them up in 4 more days and I never understood that. I typically pick it up the same day or next depending on what time of the day it comes in.

Cmw2738 · 05-13-2016, 07:16 AM

I'm not getting my hopes up on receiving my car anytime soon. I saw on another post that a guy's (BavarianFanatic) ED redelivery M sat in customs for at least 5 days before being released. It's good to know she is at least on U.S. soil now.

Yes ED is a different process from what I understand but it's just a matter of days at this point.

Agreed! Be sure to post pics everyone once you pick up your cars.
