Anyone know how to track progress through VPC? I see the VPC system screenshot in sticky, but not sure how to access it, thanks in advance!

No one has access to this... Unfortunately.

All you can expect to check some vessel carriers (ie Wallenius Wilhelmsen) offers some detailed tracking.

They usually update whole vessel load of cars, and once they all exit from VPC, they will update the status of your VIN as "delivered from" after status of "discharged"

Not sure how it works in US, but in Canada all vehicles will be loaded on rail cars using railway company called "CN". By searching by VINs, you will be able to see if your vehicle departs from VPC heading to local rail terminal where vehicles gets loaded by truck carrier and delivered to dealer.

CN tracking will be only available to those who have the account with CN already which is not opened to public.

There I am helping Canadian folks to track their cars on CN which is usually completed unknown unless you know someone who can track using CN account.

Ok, thanks - I am tracking WW so hopefully will see the progress through VPC you mentioned. I wonder how the OP in sticky got access to see the detailed progress seen in the screenshot.

If you are referring to the picture below, I think that page is either vessel carrier (steamship line company) tracking, or BMW system showing step by step tracking... I cannot really tell.



But I will say that I am pretty sure this is something of most ppl will not get the access.

In line to get thru the canal...

[BMWPWR18]

Tijuca at Baltimore port

[Wharf Rat]

Titania made it to Manzanillo this afternoon!

[Wharf Rat]

Underway on Friday morning, getting closer... supposed to get to LA on 12-15.

[Wharf Rat]

This evening the Titania is off the coast of El Salvador!

[Wharf Rat]

Getting closer...

Note that if you are looking at the WWL tracking info, the dates/times that show up on the website are not accurate.

To clarify further - the website shows the date and time that the website/tracking system itself got the update about the ship, not necessarily the date and time that the ship made it to location X. So you'll get an update on 12/12 saying "arrived at port," but it may have actually arrived the day before and the tracking system just didn't update with that info until 24hrs later.

The tracking system effectively runs about a day behind "real life."

Been using MarineTraffic, not WWL.

Really? I’m scheduling taking the train down from Union Station DTLA to Encinitas to get my car on the 22nd. Dealer thought a week was plenty of time to get there. Am I fooling myself?
