Tugela due into Baltimore 9/6

[drkeng]

Anyone else on it?
Car finished production 8/17. Not too bad

[OF Hero]

My F80 is on the Tugela!

But the tracking site on WW's website says 9/6 as the ETA.

Must have changed since I checked the schedule last week.
Changed the date to 9/6.
On vacation in Napa Valley. Lots of wine. Hot.

Either way, it's on its way here!

[drkeng]

On the move

[drkeng]

Next stop Baltimore.


Still a long way to go. I may have one credit left for satellite location tracking for the middle of the Atlantic

Is there a limit on how many times you can check on a ship through vesselfinder? The Tugela hasn't been "updated" since 8/27.

That's because it's out of range of land based tracking.
You can track via satellite on FleetMon dot com but you have to pay. I'll be checking tomorrow afternoon when I get home. Like I said I may have enough credit points left over from tracking my 435. Or I will buy enough for one location check since I'm already registered. It's due in Wednesday so it should be within land tracking soon I'd guess.

[drkeng]

oops. had enough for 5 satellite pings.
but it's getting close.





to put it in perspective:

[OF Hero]

Thanks!

[drkeng]

Land Ho!!!
Trackable by land based radar.

[OF Hero]

That was fast! Wonder if they will dock and unload today?

[drkeng]

Right on schedule
Brutal day at work

[OF Hero]

So....best case scenario....unload today, maybe on a truck to dealer tomorrow?

[OF Hero]

Looks like it's docked!

Unload those cars!

I'm on the ship too, been looking for a live feed camera of the port.
Mine was a ED so hopefully it's not held up in customs for long.

Yup. She made it!! I ordered in the beginning of June so this day seemed a long way off.

Can't find a live webcam of the port either. Know anyone in Baltimore who can swing down and get us a picture?

I believe they clear customs electronically. When I got my 435 several cars cleared customs at exactly the same time, at least that's how they listed it. I guess it could be different for an ED car since they have to make sure you didn't stash something in the trunk to smuggle in; that said I would think the car would go a thorough inspection prior to shipping for "safety" reasons.

[drkeng]

is this the VPC?

[drkeng]

if you've not seen this video it's quite interesting how they get our cars here.
Not to mention stowaways and how Rolls Royces get more space and more tethering.

The WW website went from liner release to "discharged."

Does it mean it's simply off the boat or has it already left port?
