I thought I'd post these few websites to help others who are tracking their cars across the pond.

If you are lucky, and the car is shipped via Wallenius Wilhelmsen:

click on "auto cargo."

For those who have their boat:

Good luck!

 

What do you enter for the id, my VIN does squat?
TIA

 

If your VIN doesn't bring up tracking data, then your car is probably being transported by a different shipper. You can still track, but you'll need your dealer to give you the name of the ship and the other web sites to follow your ship.

 

I have the shipping schedules if needed.

 

I did a search and could find nothing on the vessel. According to my dealer it should arrive Houston on 5/1. Any suggestions on learning more about this vessel?

 

Mine is the Cepheus Leader and it picked up my car April 2nd. Unfortunately that website does not work with my vin or production number so I must be on a different line? Eric, do you have the schedule for my ship? I think its supposed to dock in San Diego April 29th? Would be nice if I could track it? Porsche needs to take a lesson or two from BMW. Shouldn't be that tough to do? Someone told me Google earth + ship Tracker might work?

 

I heard there was a ship coming in to Houston on April 20th. Porsche must be using a lot of different cargo companies now. Probably the same line as VW uses for the Port of Houston. I read that VW Group inports 108,000 cars into the Port of Houston.

 

Still on target for 4/29 arrival in San Diego port.

 

Houston:

Atlixco due 4/17
Sirius Hwy due 4/20
Guangzhou Hwy due 5/1

These are all estimates, but on the confirmed factory schedule.

 

Thanks for the update Eric, your my designated vessel tracker from now on.

 

For those really crazy about tracking, you can use

www.vesseltracker.com

and subscribe to a personal account, then use google earth and track. it's actually very very acurate, but pricey.

 

Does anyone know which shift left on the 16th? I'm in Oklahoma, so most likely it's going to Houston.

Thanks in advance...

I have Bumperplug and ImagineAuto parts just waiting to be installed..

 

I have a car on that ship as well.

 

I think the the Guangzhou Highway is arriving a day early...

My car left Germany on April 2 and docked in Houston on April 18. Took delivery April 20. Not a bad turn around.
