if you have the trial subscription you can then do a search&triggers. The search will show the ship and zoom to the area of interest. I havent been able to get the triggers to work.

I have found another website that is also free allows you to track ships

I dropped off the car on 3/20 right when they were closing.

Interesting site. I found an actual picture on that site of a boat in port when you zoom in on the Toledo, although I'm not convinced that its actually the Toledo. There were a bunch of cars parked on the shore though that looked like they were going to be loaded abord.

Vessel tracker is delayed, it still shows the ship at the docks in Bremerhaven AISlive is more uptodate.
I dropped off my car on 3/21/07 at 2pm

I can't do the search or trigger function. All I can see is the big map and then try and zoom in on the area where I think it is. Then the scroll list will show in the bottom left corner. And the Toledo seems to have disappeared off that one. Either that or it has sailed out of the area I'm searching.

You know, Southampton to NY is the same route the Titanic took. Hopefully the Toledo will fare better.

Not sure what is leading people to believe the Toledo has set sail (on 4/4). The voyage status and the schedule pages on the WW site both say it doesn't depart until 4/5.

Anyway, I'm on the boat too! So pumped! The only odd thing that Is ee is that when I look up my VIN #, my info has NO booking number! Strange?? Guess I shouldn't be concerned since it says I'm on the boat. Although, look at my times...all 10:00. Odd?

Well, at one point yesterday AISlive showed the boat along side land (in port I presume). Then last night (which would have been 4/5 in Germany with the time difference - early 4/5, but 4/5 none the less) it showed the boat out in the water.

Yes, it does. What the hell? Trouble?! I take it no one elses has this grevious error?

[ezatnova]

Looks like 711 cars on the Toledo, or at least 711 Bimmers on that Bill of Lading number. Maybe the boat holds more.

[Enkur]

How do you extrapolate that from Bill Number??

[snareman]

Anyone have a picture of the boat?

No extrapolation really. I just put in the Bill # from my order into the Bill of Lading search field, and 711 VINs come up!

I am still a bit worried, as mine says "NY" for booked, loaded, etc, where others' say Bremerhaven in those fields. Still paranoid!
The odd thing is though, all 711 cars in the bill # search have NY in all the fields to (you can click on each VIN for specific order detail as if you put in your own VIN in the search).

[ezatnova]

Frustrating that neither Vesseltracker or that AIS Live website will send me the confirms of my registrations I did 12 hours ago.

[mags]

Ezatnova, is your car an ED?
Maybe ED cars have bremerhaven for booking etc
And new cars not ED have NY for that?

[Enkur]

here you go

Nope, it should be coming into NY.

[Enkur]

what he was trying to say is that for people who did ED and dropped their cars in Munich it says Bremerhaven and those folks whose cars are directly coming to the US has booking of New York.

So I think its no worries. I am sure everyone will get their cars soon enough
