New S-550 has been at the Port of Germany completed for week
Hi
I ordered a 2017 S-550 which production was completed last Friday. It's been sitting at the Port of Germany as per the dealer waiting to be assigned a ship coming to the Port of Baltimore (USA). How long does this usually take? I'm excited to get my hands on this amazing vehicle.

Do you know the VIN #?
Here is what was loaded today (attached document) headed from Bremerhaven to Baltimore.
Is your vehicle in this list?

Not all Mercedes are shipped on WW. There are other shipping companies. Your dealer can tell you what ship your car is assigned to from netstar once it is assigned

Yes it is normal. It has to be trucked from Sindelfingen to Bremerhaven. And then wait for a ship.
Here is my most recent timeline for my '16 S550 4matic.
Build completed 8/6/15
Load on Ship 8/17/15
Arrived at Baltimore 8/31/15
At Dealer (3 hour drive from Baltimore) 9/3/15
My prior builds followed similar timelines.

Do either of you know if there is a way to track by vin myself without going to the dealership? Crazy that MB doesn't have a system similar to BMW which allows you to track by order number and shows each stage of production.

Vessels leave constantly from Bremerhaven to Baltimore.
One of the largest group of vessels is Wallenius Wilhelmson that MB uses.
With this fleet here are the coming up schedules:
Salome
Leaves May 15 arrives May 25
Freedom
Leaves May 18 arrives June 1
Torino
Leaves May 23 arrives June 5
Figaro
Leaves May 23 arrives June 5
Patriot
Leaves May 24 arrives June 7
Endurance
Leaves May 27 arrives June 13
Of course your car may end up on another carrier but there is a good chance it could be on one of these Vessels.
Here is a link for you to put your Vin # in the cargo ID area to see if your car gets loaded on one of these vessels:

If it ends up on one of these ships, you can track the shipping progress from the web. Of course it could end up on a different carrier but my '16 S550 4matic and my Euro Delivery '14 S550 4matic was on a WW ship and I could track when it was loaded in Germany and when it was off loaded in Baltimore.
