Has it arrived on the East Coast? How can I track it?

 

It arrived in Davisville on 9/24. I've been using this site to track my car: http://marinetraffic.com.

They have a decent iPhone app also.

 

This is another site, which showed the ship in the Atlantic, heading south and directly west of Washington D.C. at 7:37 am UTC (Greenwich/Meridian Time) yesterday, 9/25.

Davisville ? which state?

thanks..

 

Davisville, Rhode Island.

I noticed in another post that your car had a build date of 8/22 which would make me think it would have been on an earlier ship. Here are some ships that were docked in Emden, Germany on or after 8/22.

I think the Ocean Highway left Emden on 9/14. IMO, your car should have been on the Olympian Hwy or the Seven Seas. Maybe the Cosmos Venture?

Do you have the schedule following the one posted? My car was completed 9/18.

No. The schedule has not been updated recently. Keep waiting for another update. I was unable to find another site with VW logistics on it. To find new schedules: Go to http://www.pwl.de/en/schedules click "schedules" and scroll down to VW Logistics and click on the PDF. Maybe someone else knows where to get more current schedules??

The dealer is supposed to be able to tell you what ship your car is on, but if not, you might can find the ship by the process of elimination. This is what I had to do. My dealer knew the approximate ETA to the dealership.

Go to vesselfinder.com, type in the ship's name, select "more info" and find out when the ship was last at Emden Germany. I think this is the arrival date at Emden and they would leave a couple of days later. The next port of call and the ETA in UTC time will also appear. This should help in determining what ship your car is on. You may have to look up several ships.

Note that the Marina Ace is not shown on the VW logistics schedule that is currently posted and there may be other ships not shown. I have seen older schedules posted on the forum so you might be able to search and find them for more ships.

Hope this is clear as it is confusing to me. My car was built on September 3 and I am hoping to get it within three or four days. The last few days of waiting is kind of tough.
