The last shipment from Bremerhaven was August 9. The next shipments are August 23, with 2 ships leaving that date (Patriot and Morning Lynn) and both arriving at the Brunswick VPC September 12. That's a two week gap in shipments. Perhaps this is to deliver the latest 2025 MY builds many have been anticipating. Let's hope so!

My 2025 450 docked in Baltimore yesterday (Titania) so it should be delivered to the dealer this week
Not too long of a wait as I ordered it 6/18

You certainly got lucky from a timing perspective. I ordered in March for a July 1st build date. Then it sat at port for three weeks waiting for MB to officially release the 2025 MY. You are likely to be the first on this board to get their 2025 E. Hopefully I'm not long behind you.

Latest update on my ship is that it's sitting just off the coast at the Brunswick port with no update in the last 9 hours. It was supposed to arrive at 7am GMT (8 hours ago). I see three other vehicle carrier ships in the port and I suspect my ship is waiting for one of them to leave so it can pull in but that's just a guess. I have no idea how many places there is to dock for vehicle ships or which one is the commonly used for MB VPC. The schedule site Wallenius Wilhelmsen still says the voyage is expected to arrive on 8/14 while the vessel site for Morning Linda says 8/12.

Similar thing happened to me. My car was coming from East London, SA to Bremerhaven first. It was set to arrive on 7/26. It sat off the coast at a anchor point for about 3 days until it eventually was taken to port. Bc of this, I missed the first ship from Bremerhaven to Halifax that would have brought my car here Aug3/4th.

Well one good thing with what will more than likely be a long wait for me is that by the time I get my car mb probably will have resolved the blank center screen issue plaguing the 2024 cars.

Haven’t heard a peep from my dealer. I’ll let you know when I do, but he hasn’t been very responsive.

Well, my ship just docked a couple hours ago in Brunswick. Just a train and truck ride away once it's done at the VPC.

Mine is scheduled to dock today at 3pm EST in Halifax.
I believe if you guys check the original ( https://www.walleniuswilhelmsen.com/track-trace ) website, you should be able to search like we did initially and under the port of arrival look for the events. Just as initially there were evets of "loaded on to vessel," there likely should be an indication as to when the vehicle is loaded off the vessel I would assume.

Complete Financing While Car In Transit
Did anyone complete your financing before your car arrived at the dealership? I ask because my dealership is offering discounts to meet August sales quotas. They emailed me. If there’s a VIN and a PO from the dealership perhaps it’s possible to buy the car while it’s en route.
