Who's on the Yu Heng Xian Feng?

My CA just informed me that my car made it on the Xu Heng Xian Feng, which left Bremerhaven on Thursday.

It's currently outside Southampton. Estimated arrival in Port Hueneme of 11/19.

Anyone else make it on?



Looked like it was called Alioth Leader up until the last year or so.

Hopefully it did! My BMW tracking has updated now to say the car is en route to the US, so if yours hasn't, you may be out of luck. I would definitely reach out to your CA to confirm though.

I'm also on this ship, but I did European delivery, so I don't get Priority 1. Hoping for calm seas and no damage in transit. A speedy customs process would be nice too.

I believe the 800 number can provide the info as well if you wait and speak to a live representative.

Looks like the Yu Heng Xian Feng made it across the Atlantic, passing Puerto Rico on its way to Panama a little over six hours ago. 12 more days to port!

You are likely o the Hestia Leader. The Yu Heng Xian Feng is not scheduled to arrive until the 19th.

I am on the Yu Heng...

I am anxiously waiting for delivery of my MR M235ix to Seattle. Sounds like it might be 11/19 plus two or more weeks before I see the car.

It is so hard to concentrate on work while I am waiting...

You call that a small yacht? The Discovery is 110' long! Look at the cars parked in the lot for size reference. Anyway, as soon as the second locks opened up, that thing booked out at a relatively fast 10 knots!

Ship pushed past Acapulco earlier. It's about halfway from Panama to Port Hueneme.

Nice! So about 4 days to get there from when they upped anchor at the canal early on 11/11. Looks like it's roughly on course to arrive at Port Heuneme late on 11/19.
