"On Vessel" or How to Track My New Car at Sea

I was told today by my dealer that my new car's status has been changed to "on vessel." This apparently means that my car is on its way to Baltimore. I do not have the name of the ship but I have sent an email to Bumperplugs asking them to update their "Porsche Shipping Schedule" page. (I am not yet a customer of theirs but I am certainly favorably disposed to them for this kindness.)

Once I know the name of the vessel, I recall that there is a way to track its progress across the Atlantic. Can someone tell me what to do or where to look? I have made a note that when the vessel gets close to the shore it can be tracked at a site called www.marinetraffic.com. (That, of course, assumes that I can get the ship's name which is not certain. If there is an alternate way to learn it, what is it?)

And then, when the vessel reaches Baltimore, what is the time frame for its being worked on and then sent to my dealer?

[Yes, this is a duplicate post of one on the Rennlist 997 forum and I apologize to those encountering it again. My hope is that there are people here who have not seen it and can provide the information that I am seeking.]

I don't have the name of the ship. I wish I did.
