When's the next ship leaving port and will stop at the Baltimore port?

Serenitygal3 · 08-08-2012, 01:49 PM

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows when the next ship is scheduled to leave the Bremerhaven port with stops on the east coast? My car has been at the port of exit "awaiting a shipping vessel" for over a week and so far, there's been no updates. I emailed my CA and haven't heard back from him either.

I'm getting so anxious waiting for my car so hoping someone might know when my car will leave the port. Thanks!

Im in the same situation as you bro

Mine's at "Bimmerheaven" too, waiting to get on the Topeka in a few days for NY/NJ port.

For you, if it's a "W&W" ship, then it'd be the Courage, leaving on the 10th and getting to Baltimore on the 20th.

I am right there with you guys! Mine has been waiting at POE since last Friday!!!

Sometimes there can be a lot of inaccuracy regarding the "awaiting a shipping vessel" stage. More often than not, I see people saying they've been stuck there for a while only to find out their car is already on a ship on its way over! The only way I know of to be sure is to get your CA to run a vehicle status inquiry; it'll have the most up to date info. If he/she says it's still in port, then it is...

It seems like the shipping routes for the west coast and east coast are different in that there are more runs to the east coast (with smaller vessels?) and fewer to the west coast (maybe larger vessels?). If your car misses a boat and it's bound for the west coast it's way worse than missing a boat for the east coast.

The Ordering and Delivery tracking sticky at the top of the forum has a link for the W&W shipping schedules, and there's at least one other line that ships BMWs; their schedule is here.

Can you track the topeka?

Yes. Here's a guide: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=680467

Here's the Bimmerheaven port live stats: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/por...px?port_id=174

Topeka isn't listed so I guess it isn't at the port yet.

If you're not creepin' on your boat already, here ya go! http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/def...0&type_color=7

Serenitygal3 · 08-09-2012, 09:35 AM

I think I may be on the same boat!! Just call the 1-800 # and it said I'm I'm in transit! Yayy!

Is there a place where I can plug in my VIN to confirm?

According to that website, my car is actually on another ship, the Toscana. It supposedly left port on 8/6 so I might be getting my car a couple days earlier than I anticipated!! I should get it around the 22nd, I think.

Thanks to everyone for their help! I hope we all get our cars within a few days from each other and post some pics
