Anyone Else Aboard the PORGY

I just called BMW Genius this morning and they informed me that my M2 has received a vessel assignment, the PORGY by Wallenius Wilhelmsen. According to the operator at BMW Genius the car should arrive at port on August 24th!!!

They are 30 other M2s on the PORGY! First time I see so many cars loaded since I started tracking my car (my car is on the MIGNON, which my son really likes).

30 M2s! How can you tell which cars are on the vessel?

Go to WWL website
https://www.2wglobal.com/

Click on Track & Trace

In the Cargo ID Field, type WBS1H9C5%, where WBS1H9C5 represents the M2 and the % is the wild card.

Hope it helps!

Congrats!

Production started on 7/15, finished on 8/3, I believe the car arrived at port on 8/5 and left the port on 8/10. My car should be arriving into the New York Port (Elizabeth, NJ).

Interesting that mine arrived at port same day but I didn't make it on this ship. My destination port is Brunswick. That was before I put in for PCD though, I wonder if they changed it.

Yeah looks like PORGY is pretty much all north east cars. Mine is going to port in Brunswick so hopefully we'll get on one early next week.

Going to be taking delivery in Greenwich, CT. Looks like a lot of people on here are from the area around NYC. Wonder what the timeline looks like (after the boat arrives) for people in the NYC area? Shipping the vehicles to dealers has to be pretty quick, right?
