I just made something up, like SeaShips Intl...

I signed up about 3 days ago and then under another email address 2 days ago. No reply on either, I'm go crazy over here, my car is on the ASIAN CHORUS somewhere in the Atlantic right now!! Now I understand how you felt when you were awaiting your car!

Thanks! It worked, but I can only view the Europe area. What if my ship has already departed Europe and is on its way to North America?

If you're in the middle of the Atlantic, AIS is worthless and you have to rely on sailwx.com. AIS only works within 50 miles of a land based receiver.

I wish I knew!!! WW website is showing that its still due to arrive in Halifax on 4/25. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Thanks, I am going to call my dealer and see what I can find out. I will keep you posted if I find anything out.

Check out this ship tracking site! Free registration and it seems to be live. Go to the Google maps feature and search for ship name, or you can browse by region. One thing I noticed is that the region browsing seems to only show green icons, which are ships that are moving. If you do a name search, I think it'll show yellow and red icons, which are the ones that are slowed and stopped.

I received info from Owners circle last Thursday that I was "awaiting transport" I have the full vin and prod #'s but I still can not find it on any ship how do track it on WW site? Since I'm in St. Louis, MO I suspect it's coming to an East Coast port?

My car is in production now. It will be complete on 9/8. How do I find what ship it is on? I don't know yet if I'm getting performance delivery. The car may be going to NY or SC.

As mentioned in the order tracking guide:

Or just call your dealer; they know exactly what ship your car is on, and the estimated times of when it will arrive and leave the Prep Center. The dealer has a tool that tells you everything, so leverage this to get the name of your ship so you don’t have to guess.

Has anyone signed up for the free 2 week free trial on AIS LIVE? I've tried but the link just gives me a server error.

That post you gave me wasnt to helpful. I did a ED and turned in my car in Munich on November 30th. Therefore Im not sure how to locate the car at this time since my dealer keeps saying the car is off the radar, so Im not sure what ship its on. Is there anyway to contact BMW directly and see where my car is? If not well then I guess I have to wait it out.
