damn, some of you guys only waiting a week at port for a boat.

I have been there since last sunday. there are 2 w&w boats leaving on wednesday and a kline boat leaving on thursday so i am pretty sure i will be on one of those, kline boat leaving on the 30th will get to brunsiwck 5/15, 2 days before the other boats. I am up against the clock, have to take deliver before 5/30 for 60 day rate lock

[starman_dx]

Sounds like I was lucky then. Arrived at terminal and then loaded the next day.

Mine finished production on 4/17. How are you guys finding out the dates that the car left the factory and is arriving at the port, and waiting at te port?

My CA could only tell me it finished on 4/17. Track my BMW on the website does not give any more details either.

I also have a 60 day rate lock on 5/31!!!

To find out the day it left the factory, call 800-831-1117 with your VIN or your production number. The automated line will tell you your current status, and if you ask for a rep, the rep can give you more details.

About a day after you get on a boat, your car will appear here: https://www.2wglobal.com/webapps?url...uickSearchPage with more details. Enter your VIN into the "Cargo ID" field to find out the date the shipment was booked. The "Arrived at Terminal" and "Loaded" information is actually the day they processed your paperwork, which looks to be a day or so after it really gets onto the boat.

Maybe, maybe not. The "Arrived" and "Loaded" information on the WW tracking site is often the day they run the paperwork, although some people do get the actual arrival and loading dates listed.

In my case, according to WW, my car "arrived" at the terminal the day after the boat left, and was "loaded" the day after that. Clearly a paperwork processing stream in that case, as it had actually arrived a week earlier.

Thanks for your help!!!

I am at the port. Awaiting a ship.

Anthor question: Where do you guys see which ships are leaving the port this week?

Westward Ho! Perhaps 1/3 of the way to Halifax.

[braindfect]

Those of you that locked in your rates, any chance you can share the rate and through whom it was from?

Mine just got on a boat on Sun so I need to get to work on locking in a good rate.

[Zooks527]

Just cruisin' along.

[starman_dx]

Looks like a little over half way already!

[Zooks527]

Turning south, away from Halifax. Must be a function of the shipping routes. The Undine did the same thing with my 335 back in 2009.

[Zooks527]

Just about down to Halifax's latitude.

[starman_dx]

On the home stretch!

[Zooks527]

Looks to be getting into Halifax about midnight tonight. Speed's been cut in half over the last day or so, likely to save fuel, as getting in early and sitting at the dock until Monday waiting for the unloading crew wouldn't seem to make much sense.

[Zooks527]

Must have waited offshore last night. Moving into Halifax past the Chebucto Head lighthouse this morning.

[starman_dx]

At port!
