This SHOULD be the ship my EB F30 gets loaded on! I guess I'll know around 6/24 slated to depart Bremerhaven 6/29 headed to Port Hueme CA. Can't freaking wait. I picked up my black kidneys last night..... Funny to buy car parts for a car I don't even have yet.

Just one more month.

I'm hoping mine is on the Aniara as well as it took the train up to the port over the weekend!

[dynastar]

I hope so too! - Getting close now.

Mine's been at the port since around the 9th or 10th.

[dynastar]

ANIARA is supposed to be Bremerhaven by (tomorrow) at 4AM. Here's to hoping our cars get loaded on, and shipped stateside.

Wonder how long it takes to load the cars.

It may be wishful thinking then as mine arrived in port on the 23rd...not sure why yours would have been sitting there so long...next ship I see is a couple of weeks away which puts me into August. It is what it is and I will just have to see if it made it on or not after it leaves Bremerhaven. Fingers crossed...

Not funny at all as I already have my IND painted reflectors here and ready to go as well!

[dynastar]

ANIARA is getting close to pulling into Bremerhaven. Ahhhhhh she's almost on a ship.

[Pauleebe]

My car just finished production yesterday, I hope it made it!

[dynastar]

ANIARA is scheduled to leave port on 6/29 - So about 27 sailing days till it hits CA for me. I better figure out what to do with the truck I need to sell. One more month (tells self) one more month.. calm..... calm......

[Pauleebe]

Oh is aniara not going to east coast first?

[dynastar]

Doesn't look like it, Belgium, UK, then Panama, and the west coast, CA and WA.

The best thing to do is read this post: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=680467

Look at section 7.2, and figure search by port. Choose Germany, Bremerhaven as the port of exit, and then plug in where your car will be going, choose a date that's way far out past your expected delivery, like by a month. Then see what ships are scheduled to arrive at that port, and determine WHERE your car is, and when those ships leave Bremerhaven. You should be able to get a good 'idea' of what vessel you'll be on. I don't even really know that I'll be on ANIARA for sure, BUT it's about the ONLY ship headed this way anytime soon. Once the ship leaves port, you can search your VIN on the WW ship site, and it will tell you if you're on that ship or not. It sounds like it can be delayed for a few days. What's really curious is that right now BMW says my ship is on it's way to the USA. But I don't think it's on a ship yet. I suspect that once they roll past a certain point, and are verified they'll be on whatever the next ship is, the status changes. This seems to be one example where BMW's status is actually AHEAD of the actual car's status. I've been following closely.

Got it! Well it finished production yesterday so I'm sure it's not on the Undine which left 6/25, looks like it'll be on the Turnadot. Damn! Gonna be a few days extra

[dynastar]

Two more days for a long life of fun driving, and good times!

[dynastar]

Looks like I'm on the DEMETER LEADER an NYK Vessel not WW vessel, hence all my research on the WW sites was fruitless. The good news is she left port a week sooner than I was guessing. Trying to figure out when it gets to Port Hueneme CA my best guess is 7/19. So I could have my car by the 25th!!!! That would be exactly 8 weeks.

[328iGurl]

How did you end up finding that out, Dynastar?

[Arktctr]

Just checked the WW site again this morning and it shows I'm booked on the Aniara which is now already in port in SouthHampton on its way west! That means it sat in port for only a few short days which is awesome! Now the wait until it gets here!

[dynastar]

328igurl I called the 800 number and asked. mine comes into Cali on 7/19.

John

[328iGurl]

I called again this morning and they told me mine still does not have any shipping information, despite it making it to port on 6/24. I'm supposed to call back Wednesday.

[dynastar]

It's probably just sitting at the port, not on a vessel yet? That's what it sounds like. It's close!

The 1-800 number still says the same thing this morning but mine made it on the boat 3 days ago so go figure...your CA is your best bet for information as they will be able to confirm the ship if it in fact made it on or not...
