Shipping Vessels to Halifax?

Anybody have a list and schedule of vessels coming from Bremerhaven to Halifax? My vehicle finished production and I'm trying find out which boats it might be getting on in the next few days.

This may be too late for you - but hope it helps:

To determine the ship your BMW is on go to this site:

http://www.2wglobal.com/www/WEP/index.jsp

Select "all users" underneath were it says track and trace on the right hand side. In the box for Cargo ID, enter your VIN, or partial VIN with % as wildcard. This will give you the ship and estimated arrival date.

To track the ship, use this vessel tracker by entering the ships name.

http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/

It may not appear if the ship is out of AIS range (mid-Atlantic for example).

When the car arrives, use this site to track delivery to the dealership by entering the VIN:

http://www.lhf.com/ (worked for Parkview in Toronto).

Will say from personal experience that tracking delivery is fun, but can be frustrating as it makes the process feel a lot longer as your new pride and joy slowly heads your way .

Enjoy.

Thanks for the response. Very useful info.

I was able to track down the vessel transporting my vehicle. It is currently anchored in Southampton, UK and should be departing this afternoon for Halifax with an ETA of July 29.

^ that means add another 2 weeks or so to come to your dealer.

Looks like 2nd week of August is the target date of delivery

That's awesome. Right on time for the school year. The dealership originally told me early/mid September so I'm happy it's coming earlier.

I should be able to confirm for sure once it' on the train. I found a way to track on CN Rail and I can also track with Hansen.
