Once I have some free time I'll post some webcam shots of the ship when it leaved the port yesterday

GTakacs · 09-23-2010, 09:41 AM

Well this is maddening. Mine still says that it's being transported to the port of exit. I sent an e-mail to my CA, hopefully he has better news.

Alpine335TT · 09-23-2010, 10:06 AM

Wah Wah Wah.. mine was ordered on July 15th and hasn't even been built yet!!

That made me feel better! Thank you!

From my dealer: "Still showing produced not shipped. It has not been assigned to a vessel yet."

Kalud · 09-23-2010, 12:29 PM

For those on the FIDELIO that left yesterday and that are a little freak about tracking their cars journey.

Here are some pictures of the ship at the port before and while leaving:

At the port
Leaving 1
Leaving 2
Leaving 3
Leaving 4

renaultf1 · 09-23-2010, 01:01 PM

lol, I have to say I've gone to marine traffic, and all the other suggested sites to follow the ship. I told my brother to expect updates daily with photo captures. I might be a little obsessed.

Thanks Kalud for posting the photos - I checked hourly after you said yesterday that the ship hadn't left yet...

Interesting about it not being assigned...YOu would think it would be assigned on the next ship if it didn't make the one that just left...hmmm.

That is really strange. You would think the ones ordered before the factory break would be the ones finished first. I wonder if there are parts back ordered on your particular model?

Whitevdub · 09-28-2010, 09:48 PM

so what's going on with this teamster strike that's happening in NJ/NY port?? they wont unload our cars

I think I'm on the Fidelio as well. Thanks for the pics!

"Your vehicle is at the port waiting for a shipping vessel" *sigh*

That is so bizarre...I wonder what the heck is going on with your car...

Well it missed the last boat so it's there waiting for the next one. If it doesn't get on the next one, leaving tomorrow, I'll be pretty miffed.

SoonerFan10 · 09-29-2010, 06:08 PM

Called the 1800# and for the past few days it says it's en route but now it's waiting for a shipping vessel? Anyone getting this change up as well?

Yup, that's what I got this morning. I really hope it makes it to Tomar! Yours and mine just might be on the same vessel!

In the "Another Tracking Question" thread, I brought up that I had noticed that you were from TX and wondered if possibly your car would not go on East Coast ships - was there a ship that went to the gulf. Someone did some research and this was what they came up with:

"Ok so did some searching and it looks like TX cars do go to Galveston and the ships are less frequent. His car was done on the 16th but the next ship wasn't until the 28th

BREMERHAVEN 15/09/2010 GALVESTON,TX 08/10/2010 MANON
BREMERHAVEN 28/09/2010 GALVESTON,TX 15/10/2010 MEDEA
BREMERHAVEN 14/10/2010 GALVESTON,TX 01/11/2010 ELEKTRA
BREMERHAVEN 28/10/2010 GALVESTON,TX 19/11/2010 FIDELIO
BREMERHAVEN 10/11/2010 GALVESTON,TX 03/12/2010 UNDINE
BREMERHAVEN 24/11/2010 GALVESTON,TX 17/12/2010 MIGNON"

So I bet your car will be going on the Medea...

SoonerFan10 · 09-29-2010, 07:45 PM

I was assuming mine was on the Manon because my car finished production on 9/12. I could be wrong though and it could be on the Medea. The Wallenius website does not show my VIN and my CA does not know anything...

It is frustrating not knowing which ship has my car

Alpine335TT · 10-04-2010, 09:39 AM

Mine finishes today and is in the paint shop!

GTakacs · 10-04-2010, 09:44 AM

Mine is still at port. It's been there for almost 3 weeks now! Quite frustrating! I rode my motorcycle to work today as I have no car at the moment. As long as weather holds up like it was today I'll be OK but it just frustrates the crap out of me!

zgames · 10-04-2010, 02:04 PM

My car was at the port awaiting a shipping vessel since 9/23. Today I called the 800#, and it says it's "In Transit". Don't know what ship it's on, but I hope you get your car soon. I feel your pain on the wait, it's a killer.

Whitevdub · 10-04-2010, 02:24 PM

Car got to my dealer today! i checked it out and cant wait to get my hands on it by the end of the week...Question though, are the shipping blocks still on the cars suspension right when they are delivered to the dealership??
