Congrats! Count a week to get on boat, 13 days to cross atlantic to halifax (where are you located?), and another week to 10 days to get to dealer from port... It all depends at wich port you get unloaded and if car gets trucked or trained to dealer...

Check wallenius website and enter vin in cargo id in track n trace section. Will show boat name and eta to port! Just hope for good weather crossing the pond!

Yes. Check with dealer he can give you exact status. Probably sitting at Bremerhaven port waiting for ship. They usually sail out every tuesday.

Track n trace is usually 2-3 days late to show car on boat. Mine loaded on the boat on feb 1st but showed up on WW site on the 3-4th...

You can check any boat schedule on the site (search by port) bremerhaven to baltimore and it will show possible boats. Check the one that leaves next week or the week after and your car should be on one of them.

Also hard to say how long the car might sit in port after unloading. My car gets released from the Long Beach, CA. terminal today after having been unloaded thirteen days ago with no reason given. Perhaps customs was on vacation. Now it gets loaded on a truck and up to two weeks to get up to my dealer just south of the Canadian border. Good luck.

Once your dealer has given you the boat name, you can track your car's progress by putting the boat's name in the "port/vessel" search box (upper right corner) of this site: http://www.marinetraffic.com/

I would say about five weeks. I just picked mine up yesterday and I got my VIN in mid February. I took and extra week to pick it up with work conflicts.

Looks like they must have some very thin drivers or they are using a window to get in and out.

They park the car sequentially to allow driver to get out and they do the opposite to unload... Not much room for error!

How exactly did you think cars get loaded on a boat? Do they fly themselves?
