Hyundai #106 Eta 10/14

I just wanted to start a thread for those of us waiting for their brand spanking new bimmers that are on the vessel HYUNDAI #106 headed to the west coast, so that members can post pics, updates, helpful links, and other useful or non useful information. So let the games begin. :rocks:

Didn't you hear? That ship sunk this morning.

I'd love to hear from anyone who knows the whereabouts of this ship, or is able to track their VIN on this ship.

Man it's a bit harder to track the west coast ships compared to the east coast guys. Too much research for me hehe i'd like to know the whereabouts too but I'm sure it'll be at the port as sceduled on 10/14. It said 10/15 on the port manifest though so who knows.

I want to be able to track the tiny dot like the east coast ships.

I personally am not 100 percent sure I'm on that boat, but the other guys here called up their CA to verify it. And it's also on the schedule for the port that says that on the 15th the Hyundai 106 is supposed to arrive. I figure mine is on that boat as well since I'm in the bay area and supposed to get my car delivered end of Oct. As for that WW site, what's the name of the boat?

The Manon left Bremerhaven on 9/21 and is due at Port Hueneme on 10/15-10/16. But my CA specifically said that I am on the Hyundai #106.

I just submitted an inquiry on the WW site asking why I can't track my shipment. I'll let you guys know if/when I get a response.

All I know is that my status changed to "at the port..." on 9/20 and then to "in transit" on 9/22. My guess is that we're on the same boat.

My CA said that my car was on a ship that left on 9/20 and should arrive on 10/14. He didn't mention anything bout what ship it was on but i'm just assuming it's hyundai. Either way it goes it should be here on 10/14, give or take a day =)

I guess we'll just have to accept that we won't be able to track this bucket-o-rust, since apparently not even the shipping company has any record of it (I still can't believe that!). Lucky us.

Just so we have something to nervously obsess about, how about we pretend that the Manon is our boat? It has practically the same departure and arrival dates, so I bet the rustbucket's schedule is the same, give or take a day. Check it out:



Looks like she'll be done crossing the Atlantic on Tuesday.

The Port Hueneme site, as of Sep. 20, says only the Hyundai #106 is coming in on Oct. 15. That's how I figured the Manon was the Hyundai #106.

Isn't it suspect that the trip from Canada to Panama is five days but the trip from Panama to Port Hueneme, which is roughly half the distance, is eight days? Could it be ocean currents?

So are you saying that the Manon and the Hyundai 106 is in fact the same ship? This information changes EVERYTHING. j/k.

I'm also on the #106. I called Harms directly, I think it was Option-6 on the phone menu for Euro Delivery, and gave the lady my name, and she gave me all the shipping info for the car.

But status on where the ship is actually? Priceless.
Anyone else have a more current status then 9/22?

I wouldn't be surprised if the Hyundai 106 and the Manon are one and the same. I mean, why would the shipping co. have two ships with nearly identical schedules, and you can track one but not the other?

Don't ships usually have to wait in line a few days to get through the Panama canal? I think it has an enormous amount of traffic for its size. Ocean currents might play into it too.

Nice find, flyga3. Hopefully we'll get an updated position once she's in Canada.
