Anyone else on the Topkea?


Our ship has arrived (it's the red blob in the far background of this webcam shot), and at least my car is already onboard according to the Wallenius Wilhelmsen tracking page.


I did european delivery on my EBII M235i, and dropped it off in Munich on the January 13th.

We're on voyage #CD504-TOP which puts us into port in LA on 2/16 and Tacoma on 2/20.

I thought my car made it on to the Topeka (production was suppose to be been completed on my M235i on the 19th) but I don't think it's on there.

I guess if you can see your car listed on the tracking site but I don't see mine, it's not on there

That's no good. You should be able to put in your VIN on the tracking site and have it come up if it's onboard.

Put it on on the Cargo ID part here.. https://www.2wglobal.com/webapps?url...uickSearchPage

Mine finished production on the 8th and is on board... exciting!

Edit: oops, I just realized it's actually on a different ship: Aniara.

Sounds like we are only a day or two apart. I'm curious who will get it first. I'm in Vancouver so the car still has a long, long way on the train once it comes off the ship.

Interesting factoid: the Topeka is currently at the same berth in Southampton that the Titanic sailed from.

It's a race! I'm due into port around 2/16.

I'm due in Halifax Feb. 3. Beyond that, I'm guessing two weeks which would put them close. But mine will have to clear customs in Halifax first. It should be a close race. At least it will make the wait more fun.

I'm still in Southampton, and running behind schedule because of it.

Someone shot a video of the Topeka the other day though.. My car is on that ship!

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on it. Not really sure if I'll be able to track it the rest of the way. Should be here around the 24th and in my hands by end of the month.

Getting very exciting! I have no idea where mine is except that it's west of Halifax. Local dealer promised an update on Sunday so I should know more then.

Well, hope your luck is better than mine. Turns out the car is still in Halifax and not moving till the weather gets better. It's already been there for two weeks

I'm now looking at mid-March, assuming it gets moving this weekend.
