Shipping from South Africa
My new 2020 C300 is assembled and waiting shipment from the factory in East London, South Africa. Once it ships how long will it take for the vehicle to arrive at the port of Baltimore, Maryland.
TIA

When your MB get's a Vessel Name Assigned - and once the Vessel Depart's - your Dealer will have ETA Port Arrival in his VII screen.
When you have Vessel Name - and know Vessel has departed - you can track: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...ry:25.0/zoom:4

Looks like we’re in the same boat. Literally. I ordered a 2020 C300 on the 24th of January and it’s assembled in SA and waiting to be assigned to a ship. I’ll try to keep you updated on this thread with any new info I get.

That’s great. I spoke to my dealer today and he said that it’s waiting for a ship to be assigned. Once it leaves port it’s approximately a two week voyage to Baltimore.
It's taken a long time but, I guess, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

If so, then it has been on it for a while. The Garnet Ace left Germany last Wednesday. If it came from South Africa, then that's at least another week earlier. You have to pay for a membership to see the vessel's itinerary, past and future port calls etc., but next stop is Baywood, USA on 10-11-20, not Baltimore.

I know. Garnet Ace was in East London, South Africa on 8-15-20, two months ago.
Baywood looks like a little pleasure boating port. Folks in Baywood are going to be surprised when they see Garnet Ace looking for a place to dock.
We will see what happens.

I kept mostly the same spec but I added the new Night Edition and got the Full Black Multispoke Wheels. I had to change the color to white though. The spec ended up being a little bit cheaper because the 12.3” Digital Instrument Cluster and Heated seats are now standard for 2021.
