Now begins the unknown period of being unloaded, processing through the VPC, and then loading on to a transporter to the dealers. Anyone having good info or insight regarding this process is encouraged to share.

I am really getting excited now.

We are on a WW boat and can track the status from their website, using our VIN number: https://www.2wglobal.com/webapps?url...uickSearchPage

My VIN still shows the most recent status as being loaded on the boat. It's not even showing its at the port. I suspect the weekend may have something to do with that. I'll bet that by Monday we start seeing some updates. I would imagine that whatever trucking company takes the car will show up as the final entity that the cargo is discharged to. The BMW genius might also know which carrier the cars are loaded on.

I hope you are right. However, that is a stark contrast to what my dealer told me today. He says it may take another 2 weeks for my delivery (I am in Eastern Washington).

Where do you enter the VIN number in that site, DetRoadster? Any other number necessary? I'm curious whether my car, somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle right now, shows in the system...

Just click the link I provided and enter your VIN in the Cargo ID box.

Thanks.

"No records found." That is not very encouraging...

Good point. It's not. Less discouraging than I thought . It's K-Line, not WW. I knew that, but just spaced it. K-line does not appear to offer VIN tracking, unfortunately. That would be very nice right now, because if HH were part of that system, cars offloaded onto other boats could be tracked by customers. Instead, they are tracked, if at all, in ways not disclosed to us. Or apparently to our dealers.

What a mess, man. Really sorry to hear about all the headaches you guys on the HH have been dealing with. Hang in there. The cars will arrive.

All OFFBOARD the Tirranna! She's heading back out to sea. We should all be on dry land now. Now we just need to clear customs and get on a truck.

After clearing Customs I assume they have to go to the VPC before loading on trucks to the dealers.

Yeah, I would imagine so. Are you having any port installed items on yours? I am not, so, it should be a pretty speedy trip through the port.

No I am not. Hopefully we will zip thru customs and VPC. We might be on the same carrier to WA.

Damn you and your fancy exhaust!

So heres something interesting, I took a look at the route that the Tirranna is on now and it looks like it's headed to Seattle. Odd. I wonder if its going to make a stop here to unload the Seattle bound cars?

Port of discharge shows as Port Hueneme on WW's site. Although my car still has Loaded on vessel as the last status. Do you see a destination of Seattle?

Same here. Still shows on the vessel.

- Marinetraffic.com shows it going from Hueneme to Hueneme. Huh?
- Vesselfinder.com shows it going from Hueneme to some port that does not seem to exist (port code TCA).
- The Wallenius Wilhelmsen website shows the route map for the Tirranna. Starts in Norway, then goes to Germany, Southampton, Panama Canal,Port Huemene, and then up to what looks like Seattle. A little hard to tell as it's just bubbles on a map. Could be Tacoma or even Vancouver BC.
