Still at port last I checked. I think we just missed one of the other East Coast bound RORO ships. I am guessing we will have to catch a ship going to Charleston since we are doing PCD. If we are going to be on one of the WW ships, it looks like they had one ship leave yesterday and a couple more that leave the middle of next week. I know it takes a few days for the shipping info to show up so they could technically be on a boat already.

With ARC Shipping, they have the Integrity arriving in Bremerhaven on March 24th and arriving in Charleston on April 15th. Hopefully the cars on a boat or will be on a boat soon, don't want to cut it too close for your late April PCD.

Edit:

A good candidate is the K-Line managed Guangzhou Highway. It is supposed to depart Bremerhaven today and arrive in Charleston on March 31st. I confirmed that it is sitting in Bremerhaven port still with a live tracker and it is in the area that the BMW cars are stored at.

Thanks Bazgab, fingers crossed it ends up on the K-line. I'd like to have a little buffer from when it arrives to my PCD. Unfortunately I booked some lodging at a cabin already so really hope my car makes it on time.

Mine is in on the boat with an expected delivery at port Newark on March 29th. Does anyone know which boat I'm on?

Enter your VIN in the cargo ID to get your vessel name and destination ETA.

Just called to check on mine, still at the port. Verified it arrived on 3/10 so about 7 days so far waiting for assignment. Seems like it's taking longer these days to get assigned to a boat than before?

Hang in there Mr 2. Mine sat at the port in Bremerhaven almost three weeks before getting on a ship. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for the delay; some people's cars get loaded on a ship in a week or less, others are not so lucky. Once your car's on a ship you can kind of sit back and relax a bit (sort of).

I think my PCD is going to get pushed out. Checking the status today and the car is still at port. What's the typical shipping time from Germany to East coast US?

If I remember correctly, your PCD is two weeks after mine (4/26). You're still good. Mine is 4/12 and I've been on a boat since 3/8. Arriving Charleston on 3/24 and sitting for 3 weeks. As long as you hitch a ride in the next 10 days, there shouldn't be an issue.

That really blows, really hope your PCD doesn't get pushed back. Fingers crossed it is already on a boat or will be soon. I think you might be ok still as long as your car is on a boat by this week or next.

Thanks, just feels like its getting really dicey with shipping, customs, and carrier transport etc. I'll call back again midweek and hopefully it'll be on a boat with a good delivery date for Charleston. Tonight I might have to sit down with the wife and cancel the cabin. Safer bet is to stay a hotel in Helen, GA that I can cancel or adjust dates as needed.

I would not worry. BMW does not usually screw this up. Hard to do but sit back and relax.

Checked today and car is still waiting at port. Today marks 14 days waiting at port. Looking at the WW lines, the Integrity leaves Sunday and ports at Charleston. I'm hoping Monday I call and it's on the Integrity otherwise I'm pretty sure they won't be able to fulfill a 4/26 PCD delivery.

The Horizon Highway with K-Line leaves Bremerhaven today and arrives in Charleston on April. 9th, so that is another candidate. I was going to give it a few days and call on Sunday and Monday to see if my car made it on that one.

Ugh, well it didn't make it Kline or the Integrity. The BMW genius on the phone even said my wait time at port is a bit long. PCD 4/26 is unlikely in my opinion at this point.

I just called and they said my car is on a ship that left on 3/24 and will be arriving in Charleston on 4/7. I would call back to see if your info updated, I would think you would have to be on the same boat. Not sure what boat it is yet, The Horizon Highway did leave on 3/24 but it isn't supposed to get to Charleston until 4/9, so I don't know.

Good call, I called back and I guess the system updated. I'm on the Horizon Highway with you. He said arrival is expected 4/7 as well. Either way I'm happy I should be able to keep the 4/26 PDC unless there is some random holdup.

Now you can drive yourself nuts tracking the ship....not that I would do that.

The Horizon Highway has been delayed several days while at sea so far. ETA in Baltimore is now 4/8 and in Charleston on 4/12. Looks like they had to avoid some weather, here is their course after leaving England.
