Vessel Courage-Departing 11/19/07

Trainwreckor · 11-20-2007, 01:07 PM

Who else got on Courage? Was supposed to leave yesterday, but still sitting at the port.

Also, according the W&W website my car is going to Charleston, SC instead of NY. Does that make any sense to ship my car there when it would be quicker and probably cheaper to ship it from NY?

Can't complain too much, I'm finally on a boat.

Made it!

Ordered 10/31. Production start 11/7. Production complete 11/13. At port 11/16. Loaded on ship 11/19.

Trainwreckor · 11-20-2007, 01:27 PM

I was wrong. I guess it did leave the port already and less than 100 miles from the Antwerp port.

Still don't know why it's final destination is SC. Isn't that where you go for the Performance Driving school?

My 335i Coupe is on the Courage, dropped it off in Munich on 11/8. The ship left port yesterday, it's arriving in NY on 12/4. Yeah!!!

Doh... I take that back. I just tracked with my VIN on 2wglobal.com and I'm on the Courage! Born on 11/13, at port 11/15 and apparently left on the Courage 11/19. That's weird, mine says Charleston, SC too.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

says it isn't in the system

bmwguy80 · 11-20-2007, 03:05 PM

Weird... not to ask a stupid question but you're using the "auto cargo" link to try and track it right?

jpsimon · 11-20-2007, 03:09 PM

ya

bmwguy80 · 11-20-2007, 03:12 PM

Looks like every one of the 1033 cars on the Courage is going to Charleston. If you track your car it shows the Bill of Lading number. Take that number and do a "Track by Bill of Lading." You can see every single VIN loaded on the ship and the destination port for the VIN.

Bostonian · 11-20-2007, 03:14 PM

Hi all,

I took this screencap at 1630 CET. The big red ship is the Courage per Vessel Tracker. It's got our babies on board!

Trainwreckor · 11-20-2007, 03:16 PM

I find it hard you didn't get on. We all got to port around the same time. I remember we were all hoping we could get on Otello last week. Maybe the system is just taking awhile.

bmwguy80 · 11-20-2007, 03:19 PM

At least we aren't getting those goofy little euro-vans lined up at the bottom of that picture

jpsimon · 11-20-2007, 03:21 PM

it makes no sense! my car has been at the port since 11/13, i should have gotten on one of these boats if all of you guys did

Actually, it must be one huge ship, because mine says it's due for New York, along with 930 other cars. Wow!

So the bill of lading must only show you cars that are going to your port. At least 2000 cars on that thing... dang!
