How to find car carrying ship

Does anyone know how to find out what boats are taking cars to the UK at the moment? Mine was waiting to leave port last night (9605) and at sea this morning (9610.) The estimated delivery is now 10th September, surely it don't take that long?!

It's been a long wait and I think it's getting to me!!

Thanks, I'm guessing perhaps the Orion highway or Asian Breeze is the one...fingers crossed

Likely Orion Highway - the only 1 which left Bremerhaven (aka BimmerHeaven!)

Track the ship itself: https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9728071

I'm currently watching the marine traffic as I have a friend due to swim the channel over the weekend. I wouldn't try crossing a road with that level of traffic!

My Mrs has (unfairly in my opinion) accused me of being somewhat obsessed with this all now...but my defence has been that a lot of people do far more tracking and genius chats than I!
I presume most leave from Bremerhaven then?

Won't be that, UK cars don't come from Bremerhaven. Look at the post I just wrote here: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...&postcount=273

Mate, from what I've read of your 'journey' you have an equally good defence!

The time it's taken to get from the factory to a boat, I could've walked to collect it by now!
