IGUAZU HIGHWAY Left Bremerhaven this Morning
For any of you like me that have a vehicle on the Iguazu Highway on K-Line destined for Galveston, the ship left harbor early this morning US time. It has scheduled stops in Belgium and England before heading over the great circle route to Galveston. Interesting that is was scheduled to leave yesterday (3/7) but didn't even start loading until very early this morning local time in Germany. I would expect it between 3/22 and 3/23 to arrive in Texas.

I did my Euro Delivery on Friday 2/15. It reached the port on 2/19 and departed on the ship today. Total of about 17 days at the port. It all depends on the ships available going to your destination. If you're on the West coast, there are fewer ships, so it takes longer at port. East coast is the shortest and I guess the south is in the middle.

Have you called the BMW Genius line to see if they can tell you what ship you'll be on? Then you can use the web tools to follow that ship into port and out again with your car on it (hopefully)...

After a stop in Belgium, the ship has been turning loops outside the Southampton channel and looks to be heading into port. Once it departs, it should head for the open Atlantic and the crossing.

The Iguazu Highway has left Southampton and is back in the English Channel. Next port as listed by the Marine Traffic website is Brunswick, GA, however that port isn't on the K-Line schedule, so I'm interpreting that as a way point. The schedule shows the next port is Galveston, TX, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for calm seas and a quick Atlantic crossing.

It appears that the weather is just not cooperating with the ship as it's hiding behind the UK from what appears to be 35 knot winds directly out of the west. It's been turning circles pushing west then drifting back east, I can only assume waiting for it to blow itself out. It's not the only ship doing this pattern though. A few others that I checked appear to be doing the same loop-de-loop..

This was just picked up from the Marine Traffic audio channel:
1: I thought you brought the map. 2: I thought YOU brought the damned map! 2: Well, #@$*. Now we just keep sailing circles until we find the map. 1: Just ask the Maersk guys for directions. 2: Oh, you're going to bring up the Maersk guys again! It's always the Maersk guys who know ALL the best docks and ALL the right directions. Eff off! 1: Are you sure you don't have the map? 2: @^&%$#**@$!&^@(*!%#$... connection lost

It looks like (fingers crossed) they're heading out for the Atlantic. Winds are still at 35+ knots. I hope my M2C doesn't get seasick because it's in for a rough ride...
