E63S wagon w212; GLC63; GLC300; 720S
Ship full of cars dead in water, Michigan Highway

My wagon was completed early on Dec 10, should have been built in Jan.

Car loaded on ship Michigan Highway 12/20. Made stop in GB for a day to load, then proceeded to English Channel where it is anchored off coast of France since 12/23. Last report was 12/28 :06 UTC

Not Wallenius-Wilhelmsen, is JP lessee. Call # is 7JCW, MMSI is 432633000.

I've tracked lots of cars, never had one sit in channel for days.

Maybe one of you guys can track ships better than I can?

If I don't get car soon, going to be hard to do COTA in April.

Tracking no longer updates when the ships are 200+ miles off the coast. You have to pay for that type of tracking or use a free trial on Marinetraffic.com. Even then, the data is 12-14 hours behind.

When I tracked my car, I signed up on mt.com for the free trial to track the ship.

Finally 0830 UTC

Thanks Ben, I use MT too. Like your wagon, anxious for mine.

Started moving, still in channel after 5 days but at 15-20 knots so moving well. Left anchor 0830 UTC today, headed to Brunswick GA.

If you're waiting, try tracking it, it's fun. Kids love it. Tracked all kinds of cars. I'm not patient, so watching it sit was annoying.

Here's pics and speed/position log pics. Sorry for whining, just never had car sit at anchor before.

Hey, I think my car is on that boat too. I was told that mine would get to Brunswick around the 8th. How can I search the contents of the boat and see if its on there? I do have a VIN.

The Michigan Highway is a Japanese RO-RO transport, so unlike Walenius-Wilhelmsen lines, you can't do cargo search. However, dealer has boat name, as they can plan for invoice right around time it hits port. 1/8/14 is ETA for MH at Brunswick. Dealer will know boat. PM me prn. What's coming for you? Wagon for me.
