Turandot?

[Dan203]

Based on vessletracker.com it looks like it's in the port of Bremerhaven right now. How long will it be after it leaves port before those of us still waiting know if we made the ship or not?

I'd say a day or two after it leaves you should find out...hopefully from your CA.

at least the next couple of ships are WWL. hope you make it out early.

[Dan203]

Yeah I'm glad they are WWL too. It'll make it easier to track across the pond.

turandot...my favorite opera...best of luck with your cars.

Anyone confirmed that they are on this ship yet? It finally left Bremerhaven sometime this morning (PST) and is heading down to Belgium. However my VIN# isn't showing up on it yet. (not sure I'm even on it, just hoping) Just wondering if anyone has confirmed that they are or are not on this ship?

My ship left on the 23rd, and my VIN still doesn't show up on the shipper's site. It's on it though...

14 days waiting for a boat? That must of hurt. I am 2 weeks behind you.

Yep. It was very nerve racking. My wife hated me during the wait. Getting so much closer to the end of the tunnel though.

[Dan203]

All I can say is I really, really, really I hope I made this boat! If not the next one heading for the west coast isn't docking until 5/2 and isn't due to hit the US until 5/28 which is a full 10 days after the Turandot. So not only would I have to sit on the dock for an extra week but I'd spend a few extra days on the boat. Plus it would dash all hope of me taking an end of May delivery.

All my fingers and toes are currently crossed hoping that I'm on the Turandot.

Dan203,
I think the BMW and WWL sites are not updated, if at all, as often during the weekend. You should be able to check by tomorrow or perhaps Tuesday but best check with your CA as the status sheet will be able to show whether you are booked or not even before the ship date. You can probably tell your CA that you would like to make alternative travel arrangements in the event your car doesn't make it at the end of the month. Good luck!!
Oh BTW, there's also the Green Dale arriving on 5/25.

Bizall, the Jupiter is a NYK vessel and will not provide VIN tracking so don't worry about it.

[Dan203]

Still "waiting for a shipping vessel" so I probably didn't make this ship.

Nice1 looks like you're not the only one who's going to end up sitting on the dock for 2 weeks. My car was finished on 4/17 and the next boat heading for the West coast doesn't hit the port until 5/2.

Anyone know where the Turandot is right about now? The site stopped giving updates on its position about a week ago, right before going through the Panama Canal.

[Dan203]

It's scheduled to hit the port on Monday the 19th.

Dan

[SCA1]

Great....so I guess I'm about a week away from pickup here in NorCal....

[Dan203]

Probably. Depends on how long it takes to get through VPC

Anyone know if our eagles have landed? I mean those on board Turandot. It was supposed to arrive today.

[SCA1]

I don't know. I can't seem to find Turandot on any of the tracking sites that are provided here. Probably just not searching correctly. I'll call my CA today to see if he knows.

[Dan203]

The port schedule and the WWL site both still have it listed as hitting the docks today. However the live port schedule that lists what's currently at the port doesn't list it. Although it doesn't list the other WWL boat coming in, the Falstaff, either so it may just be a reporting problem by WWL.
