So much for the theory of a shipping backlog...

That color is awfully painful and only available on the GLA

Our two GLCs have made it to the Port and are listed as Ready to Be Shipped. I know how to track at WW site, but is there any way to track by VIN if they get on a MOL ACE ship? I believe they will be coming into Brunswick, GA.

No way to to track on Molroro website. If you get the ship name. You can use vessel finder or marine traffic to follow your car across the pond

For a demo on how the vessel tracking works...my wife's X1 is on this ship https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9293612
Pretty slick that you can track them so closely.

An update to my previous post on 17 March. At that time my GLC was in the port of Bremerhaven, "B8," "Assigned to Ship," w/ VIN number in hand.

I went to the track site of Wallenius Wilhelmsen and searched on my VIN, and Voila!

My GLC is aboard the ship: "Tysla." It actually departed Bremerhaven on the 17th and is now heading West at 17 knots in the English channel after an all-day stop in Southhampton, England.

The Tysla is off on a long voyage; her schedule:

Arrive Baltimore on 28 March (My Polar White disembarks)
Arrive Savannah on 31 March
Arrive Auckland on 22 April
Arrive Brisbane on 26 April
Arrive Port Kembla on on 28 April
Melbourne on 30 April
Fremantle on 5 May

A brief video of the Tysla:


A brief video tour of her sister ship:


I will be tracking her across the pond via "Vessel Finder" or equivalent.

I'll wave to her as she leaves Southampton. Fingers crossed they've loaded her correctly this time........

Waiting for my 2016 GLC300.


Polar White
Silk Beige Leather
Interior Package
Navigation
19" 5 Spoke Wheels
Burmester Audio
HUD
Driver Assistance Package
Lighting Package


Sitting at the dock in LA waiting to clear customs and be put on the truck to Arizona.
First Mercedes and I am a little apprehensive coming from the Toyota/Lexus Family.


This car fit the bill better than what Lexus has to offer at the moment. RX too big and expensive and the NX has a cheap interior.

My GLC is also in LA waiting to clear customs and it is also my first MB (after 25 other cars and assorted motorcycles).

Our GLC is at the VPC in Brunswick as of 3/21 but now delayed until 3/29.

Hope it's nothing major.

I was doing some looking around online and it looks like in the past, people have waited as much as ~30 days for the car to be assigned to a ship. Depending on when mine actually made it to port (I was told it was complete on 2/24 but on my 3/1 inquiry I was told it was at port) mine's been there 22-26 days and it looks like the next ship leaving (for WW anyway) is not until 3/24 and arrives at port here 4/8. That's a bummer...I was really hoping to have it by the first week of April but looks like the second week of April is probably the absolute best I can hope for unless it's on another carrier already and I haven't been given an update.

The Dionysos Leader and the Marguerite Ace both leave on Bremerhaven on March 24th. The first is NYKRoRo and the second is an MOL Ace ship....
