my dealer just returned my call and told me that I'm on this ship!
I guess the 1800 number was behind, as it told me I arrived at the port on 10/15.

Awesome. By Friday, Courage should have made all its stops in Europe and will start the main trans-atlantic leg of its trip over here.
I know this has been posted somewhere before, but how do we see where the ship is in real-time again? |

I'll definitely try to contribute with some ship tracking screenshots, last time the Courage came around the forum did a great job tracking it.

My CA says I'm on this boat
although the website hasn't been updated. I called the 800 number yesterday and it indicated I was still at port...thought I missed this ship. I guess the website and the 800 number lag quite a bit. I ordered on 10/2, so it looks like I'll beat the 6-8 week delivery estimate, if all goes well.

1st post
Today is the 1st time the 800 # said "In Transit....check w/ dealer". I did that and they don't know the name of the ship but it departed 10-15 and is due in NY on 10-29. According to WW web site that's the COURAGE. Right now I think the Ship tracking site
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml is down. Anyone else having trouble w/ tracking? Last edited by Capt 4Real; 10-17-2007 at 02:20 PM.. |

free registration required. E90 has great ship tracking guides, give'em a try! The last time the courage made this journey, that thread had some excellent info. I'll do what I can to keep everyone up to date!

how come my vin still isn't found in the auto cargo? If anyone has any luck with the WW site, please let me know.

Mine doesn't either, but given the lags with BMW's site, it wouldn't surprise me that there were significant lags on the shipper's site as well. I'll take my CA at his word, because he knows how to read his system and has no reason to tell me its on route when its not. This is the only boat leaving 10/15 and arriving NY 10/29, so it has to be the one. Thanks for the details on the ship.

Whoa, that is some level of detail, cshsia. Great info! How did you get it?
My VIN also doesn't show up in WWL's cargo tracking. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes until the end of the week to show up. Just to kick the obsession level up a notch, do you think the times listed for arrival, departure, loading/unloading etc. are GMT? |

Information for the Vessel Tracking Obsession
My OC just changed to En Route as well, no luck on auto cargo tracking still.
With that said, here's a bit of info. WW site says our ship is arriving in Zeebrugge today. Vesseltracker seems to show that it has docked. Yet the Zeebrugge port website said the ship docked yesterday and leaves today?! That's one day early compared with the WW site. Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, info from the Southampton port. This is in line with the info from the WW site. That's all today folks, tomorrow we will have exciting ship tracking from England.

Great stuff, cshsia. Btw the WWL website now shows that Courage has left Zeebrugge. One more stop until the long trip to NYC!
Here's the direct link to the Southampton port shipping movements: http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/shipping_movments.asp Assuming the times listed are in GMT, Courage will dock there at 2:30 AM EDT Friday morning, and depart at 12 noon EDT.
