So where & when did you drop-off your car? I'm curious how long it took to get to port and on a boat from the time of drop-off.

I dropped the car off at the Munich drop point on Friday Aug 18 late in the day. Here is some info from the vessel

LOADED ON VESSEL BREMERHAVEN 01-09-2017 15:59:46
RECEIVED AT TERMINAL BREMERHAVEN 31-08-2017 12:25:11
BOOKED BREMERHAVEN 25-08-2017 22:17:02

So they sat on it for a week, possibly waiting for a truck load. She said they were slow.

In view of the fact that another forum member ended up on a Kline vessel, I searched Kline as well as the other shipping companies listed in the tracking sticky. It would appear that ARC and NYKLine and Kline do not travel to Port Hueneme, so these are not included below. This was probably already determined by the OP, but I thought I'd check it out anyway.

Updated schedule below:

01-Sep --- 01-Oct --- Fedora --- CD735-FED --- WWL

Port Hueneme, CA --- 1-Oct

Anyone else scheduled to be on the Thalatta?

I think it's still too early to know if you're on Thalatta - no? It hasn't even gotten to Bremerhaven yet (currently in Antwerp).

WWL site has just today reported "RECEIVED AT TERMINAL" date of Sep 18 for Morning Courier. Typically late reporting as Morning Courier left Bremerhaven on Sept 15, visited Zeebrugge on Sep 17 and is currently headed to Bristol.

I wouldn't expect to see confirmation on the WWL site that a car was on Thalatta until Sept 23 or 24 at the earliest. Hoyasaxa - did your Paris ED shipping company already give you confirmation on Thalatta?

Looks like about 30 M2s got loaded on Morning Courier - so if you think you car was at port in Bremerhaven on or before the Sep 14th, and you're headed for Baltimore or Port Heuneme - you could very well be on Morning Courier.

BMW ED department told me my car is at the port and will be loaded onboard the Thalatta by Friday. I think it may be a little different because ED has to know what ship to put you on after drop off.

Looks like the Fedora has it's next stop in Manzanillo Cuba. I hope we skirt the next storm.

Yes please! Maria is looking to go precariously close to Cuba & Florida by Friday. I feel for those folks who are yet again in the path of a hurricane.

But Fedora's Manzanillo port of call is in Panama, not Cuba - and she's currently scheduled to be there on Friday. So if Maria continues on her projected path, Fedora ought to be well clear of Florida/Panama before she gets there. Hope so!

I feel your are correct however the Marine Traffic site has it going to CUMZO, which is googling up as Cuba Manzanillo port. So it should be PA MIT. I wonder how the got it wrong.

Also they show time to port which would make more sense if it is Panama. They show almost half way done in time which is where they are if it is Panama but should be almost complete if it was Cuba.

Thanks for steering me right. I am glad we are getting ahead of the storm.

Well marinetraffic certainly does think Fedora's headed to Cuba - but I don't believe it. I think that app is having issues distinguishing between ports with the same name. There is indeed a port in Cuba called Manzanillo, but there is also one in Panama. And the WWL schedule says Fedora is going to the one in Panama. I'm going with WWL since they own the boat.

Attached is the WWL PortsOfCall list for Fedora - the basis for my belief it's going to Panama.

[jjclyde]

Regardless of which Manzanillo Fedora is headed to (and I'm sure it's Panama - that's where Fedora's sister ship Torino went last week), it looks to me like it's going to sail between the east end of Cuba and west end of Haiti - awfully close to Maria! It looks like it could become quite problematic if Maria decides to head further west than currently projected.

I'm sure they know what they're doing, but I also hope they are at full speed!

Pretty amazing hurricane season - I feel for those folks that are getting the brunt of these monsters. Again.

[MPOWERE9]

I can't believe the Fedora and Maria are heading right at each other. Yikes. I imagine the shipping company knows how to do it but it looks to be a close race around the tip of Cuba.

I'm sure it's fine. There are a bazillion other ships out there.

If anybody is on the Torino, it is scheduled to land at Port Hueneme in just about 7 hours!!

[jjclyde]

Torino is docked in Port Hueneme this morning. Really curious to know how long before the cars on that boat get delivered. Please share your delivery date if you're one of those lucky ones.

[Voomar]

Just asked my CA this same question since my car is currently on the Fedora and ultimately destined for Seattle. No port installed parts either.

"It usually takes 6-8 days once it has arrives at the port. It gets offloaded, prepped for trucking and then 2-3 days on the road"

I suspect your transit time via truck will be shorter than mine given your SoCal location.

[jjclyde]

Fedora just showed up off the coast of Panama - slowly but surely!

Excited! Literally counting down the days till it hits the dealer. I'm guessing about a week for it to hit Seattle.

[jjclyde]

Fedora just traversed the last of the Panama locks - she's now in the Pacific!

[MPOWERE9]

So I was wondering why they ship all the way to the west coast in lieu of rail or truck. I do not know.

I figure the Fedora caries 5000-8000 cars depending on what car and how full the ship is booked. I wonder the efficiency of the ship? The main engine is a B&W 7S60MC-C directly reversible marine diesel with constant pressure supercharging and a maximum output of 21,490 BHP at 105 RPM. I guess they have the math all figured out but this is still pretty cool.

Regardless a few days left.

[jjclyde]

Fedora has completed her journey. She docked at Port Hueneme this morning. Yay!

Journey went almost exactly to schedule - despite 3 hurricanes.
