TAGUS

[Dave135i]

Anyone else on the Tagus?

I entered my VIN # and got the following:

Status Port Time
LOADED ON VESSEL HALIFAX, NS 09/04/2008 09:00
RECEIVED AT TERMINAL HALIFAX, NS 07/04/2008 10:00
BOOKED HALIFAX, NS 02/04/2008 10:00

Does that mean it was in Bremerhaven on April 9th? Or in Halifax?

My dates and times are all the same, but mine says "New York, NY" in place of Halifax. That's where it's going to.

Well lets hope it stops in Halifax first :wink:

So assuming the ship leaves today, what's the timing from here on?

If that doesn't give you a search option, when you enter your VIN, at the top there is some info about the ship, click on the Voyage code and it will give you the port schedule. Completed ports are in red so you can track the progress that way.

Right now its:
4/11 Belgium
4/12 UK
4/19 Halifax
4/21 NYC
4/27 Texas

I also tried to look it up on SailWX, but the only info they brought up for Tagus was from last year. Hopefully that might update.

Hey guys, what day did your cars finish production? I'm trying to get a handle on when my car will get to the US if it finishes production on 4/17 so I can schedule work around it.

[amybang]

My car finished production on 4/2. The Cargo Status page that comes up when I enter my VIN on the shipper's site indicates that it was booked for passage that same day, and then was received at the terminal on 4/7, boarding the Tagus on 4/9. So, add 4-5 days to your end production date, and then look to see what ships are scheduled after that.

Mine finished the same day, but didn't make the Tagus (or any ship yet ). Is it luck of the draw somehow?

I've been refreshing all day. *sigh*

[jeremyc74]

Ok, you guys seem to know exactly what's going on, so I have another question.

Does anyone know what the entry port will be for a car coming to Indiana?

Hmmm, Gary? (couldn't resist)

I really don't know. Fortunately, I'm East Coast, so I didn't have to think about it.
