ordered: 5/11/06
production completed: 5/17/06
Awaiting transport: 5/19/06
In transit: 5/26/06

Actually I'm not sure am I looking right ship, but my ca told me that departure at 5/26. And I searched, this is only matched. I hope this is right one. Here's what I found image.

Hey, I'm on the Fuji too. 325xi coming to San Francisco. Thanks for posting the image - where did you find it? Did you dealer give you an ETA?

Hi, birdscanflysf.

You can register for free at this site.
My ca told me that it will arrive after 6/22. I don't know what that mean yet. I'm waiting for his call.
How did you find out yours in the Fuji.
Here's new image.

[birdscanflysf]

Thanks for the new image. I registered at the site but I can't believe you were able to find the Fuji on the free interface!

My dealer can see the name of the ship on his screen. My car also completed production on the 17th so it makes sense we're on the same ship. I ordered mine on April 30th though so you're a couple weeks ahead of me - lucky you. Nice to know they're actually moving toward the states now though eh?

I'll hunt around ais, but any new images you can post would be greatly appreciated. I"ve never bought a new car before, much less a bmw so I'm greatly anticipating it getting here.

I actually saw the ship at the channel islands overview in the morning but right now I can't see anything about Fuji. I think this ship go out at the range of northern europe overview. It will appear, if this ship come close to u.s.

[birdscanflysf]

It's call sign is LAVX4 - I've been able to find and track it on the sailwx site. If you really want to geek-out (like me) you can plug the coordinates into Google Earth to get a good idea of exactly where it is :-)

Here's ship information image.
and this is Maersk Tide (WWL) schedule.
The ship departures at the same time as Fuji.
I think the schedule is pretty close to ours because estimated arrival date is same.

P.S. I saw that website too, but I don't think star fuji is our Fuji.
Here's Fuji information link.

Hmmmm.....I wondered why it was heading so far south. Thanks for the correction. Too bad we can't track it though. Ah well, probably better for my sanity anyway :-) I see the ETA has been dropped to June 19....let me know if you find any updates!

[xjun1]

Yeeh!! I'll do my best... hehe!!!
Anyway, it seems like only you and I on this ship, wierd huh!!!

[xjun1]

Here's the chart image from san diego marine information system.
there's rough estimated date to san diego, and I don't know when it will be at port hueneme.
BTW there's Hojin's information too, so we can guess ETA from that ship's current user forum hhh!!.

I am also on this ship. My dealer told me 6/21 to 6/22. My DH tells me it is "just west of the northern part of Africa."

[xjun1]

Yuuh hooh!! another search guy came here!! Thanks for information!!

xjun1-This is the link my DH used to tell me where my car was. (Click zoom out a few times to get a better sense.) Of course, unless you are way smarter than us, you also need to Google for a map of Africa to figure out what to call what you are looking at. (I now know that as of last night, our cars are off the coast of West Sahara. Never heard of that country before...)

This is fun!

[xjun1]

Am I wrong? Because Fuji call sign is ELMV6, and sailwx.info doesn't show ours up, but star Fuji appear. Star Fuji call sign is LAVX4, not ELMV6.
In the San Diego marine information schedule, http://www.sdmis.org/schedule/, our last port is Baltimore. I think that it should take over 15 days from Baltimore to Port Hueneme, so now it should be close to the US, not Africa.
I'm very confused.... hhhhm

[birdscanflysf]

I think you're right xjun1. The Star Fuji is gonna have to make a hard right turn and pick up some serious speed to get here in time. Let's hope the other Fuji is making good time...

[marie-louise]

Darn... and it was such a cool tracking map, too.

My dealer jokingly told me that in his experience I will make it take longer/ bring it bad luck if I watch it too closely. So perhaps it's just as well that we can't see it.

[xjun1]

Here's something change. "2 day earlier"
Maybe it might be in port Hueneme at 06/19~20.

In San Diego
Fuji 06/17 unkn 06/18 unkn Last Port-Baltimore, Maryland 24-05 Automobile NYK

Hojin 06/09 01:30 06/10 17:00 Last Port-Long Beach, CA 24-05 Automobile NYK

[birdscanflysf]

Wow, very cool:rocks:

9 days to San Diego - wonder if that means it's near the canal?

[marie-louise]

Wow. We'll have our cars in a little over two weeks!!!

[xjun1]

Here's map. finally appeared!!!

[birdscanflysf]

Cool! Thanks for the picture xjun1. I got a call from my dealer today - said the ship is expected in Port Heuneme on 6/22. Then another week to get it to the bay area. Getting closer!

[birdscanflysf]

Looks like the Fuji might be a little ahead of schedule -getting into San Diego on the 17th. Previously she was expected on the 19th. Hope that means faster trip to P. Hueneme!
