Ocean Shipment Tracking?

The dealer advised me my new car has been shipped from the Port but he says "Porsche will not provide the Ship it is on"
Any members know how to find the ship and track the ocean shipment from Europe?

I tracked mine with this site - My salesman told me the ship name.....does the dealer actually mean he doesn't know *yet*? I'm almost positive they all have access to the shipping info.

Unless something has changed recently, your dealer can tell you what ship your car is on.

Thanks for the link to the ships tracking. I used that to track my MB in November.

As stated, my salesman said 'Porsche does not supply ship names"
Unless something has changed, I am sure they have the information, but he does not or is unwilling to get it. I will re discuss this with him.

In 06 when I custom ordered my mini I was able to get the ship and track it via gps, and then when it reached new york I was able to track the truck it was on from new york to Annapolis. I was able to do this by info on a mini forum. Part of the info was to keep calling back till you got a rep that knew what they where doing
