No dice so far...I guess because it's not assigned yet. My SA didn't know about the tracking of the ship so I educated him (after you all educated me) and told him he could amaze his customers now with detailed tracking info

Go to Wallenius Willhensen as well as www. Molroro.com. You might get an idea which ship your car might be going on. Since you are in Ohio, your baby will go to Baltimore. You can check Bremerhaven to Baltimore very easily on both sites.

I think you are going to be very lucky. Multiple WW ships to Baltimore over the next week!

We are in the same boat... lol.. No pun intended. Mine is also at Port awaiting a ship. Hopefully it should be on the water before the week is over and we can get a date of arrival to the US Ports

Also Molroro.com ships.. looking at their vessel schedule the ship called the Euphony Ace arrives at Bremerhaven on March 3rd and arrives in Long Beach April 4th... It also goes to Brunswick on the way.. But not Baltimore.

The next one they have with that route, the Lavender Ace arrives March 9th and goes to Baltimore, Brunswick and Long Beach (April 8th)

Assuming it's going to be one of those ships if it's from this owner.. Unless W&W gets it or another company

I tried tracking again this morning with WW and it's doesn't come up. My SA is out of office today but he said he would get me the ship name when assigned. If you weren't on the west coast, our cars may've ended up on the same ship!

Yeah I know. You should have yours before mine.. At least once it gets on a ship from that point we have a better idea of the time the actual car will be ours

I read somewhere it could sit for up to 9 days before getting on the ship. Being that mine should've been done by 2/24, I would expect it to be on a ship any day. May even be on a ship today, just not WW.

If it's on Moloro...Looks like there's 1 upcoming voyage for these ports:
Leave 3/9 arrive 3/21. I hope it gets on an earlier ship via WW or another carrier.

your cars should be priority one since they are sold cars. MB has a priority system for moving cars. They will try to get them on a boat as fast as they can. Your cars will go on a boat before cars that are meant for dealer inventory. Mine went faster than I thought it would. Jan27 build. Jan 29 port. Feb 3 boat.

Similar experience. Eight days from build to boat.

Yeah I was told that the time fame "should" be anywhere from 5-10 days to get on the boat. I'm just hoping mine gets on the one I said.. Because I don't see any WW ships coming to Long Beach sooner then the 2 I listed. Although I don't have all the different ship companies so maybe it will be something else. I'll wait this week out and see if I can find out myself what boat it ends up on.. And if not just contact dealer start of next week and see if it at least shows what ship it will be on

Ship lines include K line, nykroro, Wallenius Willhensen, molroro, ARC (overseen by WW logistics).

Thanks. I'll look up those companies and see if they show schedules as well.

Would the cars on the ARC ships come up on the WW page using the VIN since its apart of their company... Or overseen by them?

So I looked up all the companies. ARC doesn't seem to come to the West Coast only Baltimore & Brunswick.. So I eliminated their ships.

NYKRORO has ship called Triton Leader that leaves Bremerhaven March 9th and Arrives in Long Beach, April 4th.... The Only other ship they have on that route for the month of March Is called the Dionysos Leader and it leaves March 24th and arrives in LB on April 24th.

MOLRORO has ship called Euphony Ace that leaves March 4th and arrives in Long Beach on April 4th... They also have the Lavender Ace that leaves March 9th and arrives in LB on April 11th... And the Marguerite Ace leaves March 24 and arrives April 25th. They have the most routes with 3 this month.

K Line doesn't have any routes from Bremerhaven to LB.

Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics on their search shows routes that take 70 days!! Ships leaving on March 6,7,9 but not arriving until May 15th!

So that's all the companies right there. I can only hope it goes on the 2 ships that have it arrive April 4th. Seems more ships go from Bremerhaven to the east coast.

My understanding is that Cars placed on ARC show up on the WW website.

Got a date of 3/17 for the ship carrying my car to dock. Looking at picking it up from the dealer around the 24th/25th. Been following dieseldoc's progress this whole time and its been super helpful to understand how the order can progress.

I assume I probably had a similar build date to BigDeeLA and JEVA. Very excited for it to arrive.

Probably an earlier build date than ours. As far as I can tell, mine has yet to be assigned to a ship and same for BigDee last I heard.

As of Monday I was still awaiting a ship.. But it seems like the WW ships don't have anything coming to the West Coast until May so I doubt my VIN number will work which means chances are my car got put on the ship that left today or will get put on the 2 ships that leave on March 9 that head to the West Coast. I'll talk to the dealer on Monday to check the status.
