Anyone else on board?

cshsia · 10-16-2007, 03:13 PM

my dealer just returned my call and told me that I'm on this ship!

I guess the 1800 number was behind, as it told me I arrived at the port on 10/15.

riditec · 10-16-2007, 07:58 PM

Awesome. By Friday, Courage should have made all its stops in Europe and will start the main trans-atlantic leg of its trip over here.

I know this has been posted somewhere before, but how do we see where the ship is in real-time again?

cshsia · 10-16-2007, 08:37 PM

I'll definitely try to contribute with some ship tracking screenshots, last time the Courage came around the forum did a great job tracking it.

Aredouble · 10-17-2007, 09:18 AM

Great thanks for the heads up, I wasnt able to track the ship down yet but Im still trying..

cpippolo · 10-17-2007, 12:06 PM

although the website hasn't been updated. I called the 800 number yesterday and it indicated I was still at port...thought I missed this ship. I guess the website and the 800 number lag quite a bit. I ordered on 10/2, so it looks like I'll beat the 6-8 week delivery estimate, if all goes well.

Capt 4Real · 10-17-2007, 01:05 PM

Today is the 1st time the 800 # said "In Transit....check w/ dealer". I did that and they don't know the name of the ship but it departed 10-15 and is due in NY on 10-29. According to WW web site that's the COURAGE. Right now I think the Ship tracking site
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml

is down. Anyone else having trouble w/ tracking?

cshsia · 10-17-2007, 02:02 PM

1800 line updated to In Trasit.

Here's our ship in Belgium, now go west!!

Capt 4Real · 10-17-2007, 03:19 PM

Is that map from a ship tracking web site? Link?

cshsia · 10-17-2007, 03:28 PM

http://www.vesseltracker.com

free registration required.

E90 has great ship tracking guides, give'em a try!

The last time the courage made this journey, that thread had some excellent info. I'll do what I can to keep everyone up to date!

cshsia · 10-17-2007, 04:25 PM

In port, departing tomorrow for Southampton.

cshsia · 10-17-2007, 05:07 PM

how come my vin still isn't found in the auto cargo? If anyone has any luck with the WW site, please let me know.

cpippolo · 10-17-2007, 06:28 PM

Mine doesn't either, but given the lags with BMW's site, it wouldn't surprise me that there were significant lags on the shipper's site as well. I'll take my CA at his word, because he knows how to read his system and has no reason to tell me its on route when its not. This is the only boat leaving 10/15 and arriving NY 10/29, so it has to be the one. Thanks for the details on the ship.

riditec · 10-17-2007, 09:20 PM

Whoa, that is some level of detail, cshsia. Great info! How did you get it?

My VIN also doesn't show up in WWL's cargo tracking. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes until the end of the week to show up.

Just to kick the obsession level up a notch, do you think the times listed for arrival, departure, loading/unloading etc. are GMT?

riditec · 10-17-2007, 10:48 PM

OC website just updated to En Route

cshsia · 10-18-2007, 09:03 AM

My OC just changed to En Route as well, no luck on auto cargo tracking still.

With that said, here's a bit of info.

WW site says our ship is arriving in Zeebrugge today.

Vesseltracker seems to show that it has docked.

Yet the Zeebrugge port website said the ship docked yesterday and leaves today?! That's one day early compared with the WW site.

Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, info from the Southampton port. This is in line with the info from the WW site.

That's all today folks, tomorrow we will have exciting ship tracking from England.

riditec · 10-18-2007, 01:30 PM

Great stuff, cshsia. Btw the WWL website now shows that Courage has left Zeebrugge. One more stop until the long trip to NYC!

Here's the direct link to the Southampton port shipping movements: http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/shipping_movments.asp

Assuming the times listed are in GMT, Courage will dock there at 2:30 AM EDT Friday morning, and depart at 12 noon EDT.

Capt 4Real · 10-19-2007, 06:32 AM

Is anyone having any luck with their vin on the WW website cargo search?
