Ship Tracking

[GtG]

The three you want to watch are AUTORUNNER, AUTOPRESTIGE, and EMDEN.

AUTORUNNER left Emden a couple of hours ago for Sheerness, then normally goes to Grimsby before returning to Emden. (I think this is a shared vessel with BMW and whatever is ready to ship at the time).

AUTOPRESTIGE is currently on the way from Sheerness to Emden, not due to leave Emden until Late Saturday / Early Sunday. (But this changes a lot, if it's full it sails it seems). This seems to be all VW. I think my car will be on that one.

EMDEN is on it's way to Spain, but always returns to Emden and then does Sheerness and Grimsby generally. This boat doesn't seem to stop at all, where as the others can be docked for days, so a bit of a dark horse, but it's quick.

If the tracker says "In transit" blah... 4 weeks.. it's on it's way to Emden...

If the tracker says "In transit" blah... 3 weeks.. it's at Emden waiting for a boat...

If the tracker says "In transit" blah... 10 days.. it's on a boat!

Thanks gtg. Are you basing your last three lines on some solid intel? Mine has said in transit... 3 weeks etc. since last week and in that time boats have left emden for sheerness... Please don't let it be hailstorms!

Mine has said '3 weeks' since Sunday 18th. Today was confirmed as still being at Emden. I've used other people's history plus my own details to come up with that theory, so it's not concrete, but I'm pretty sure that's how the tracker works

Good work GtG, that's top info!

Thanks for this awesome info GTG I'm now currently sat here watching the next boat to Emden and hoping my car gets there and gets on that boat ready for whenever it leaves

Can't wait 'til I'm at the stage of using the ship tracker - it's awesome!!

Try not to get your hopes up too much - my dad's GTD saw 3 boats off before it got onto the one that bought it to Tyne dock. Hopefully though, considering the wait they'll prioritise your shipping.

Are you the last Tornado Red BW33 car to leave the plant that we know of?

Thanks MH I am going to try and keep the excitement under control and expect a potentially long period sat on In Transit.

But I was quietly hoping that due to the factory being behind that the 33 cars that were delayed would be some of the first "of the next batch" to get to the docks so would potentially jump straight onto the next available ship.

I could well be the last of the reds from 33 to my knowledge unless someone else shouts up ?

Best way mate, set your own expectations and you stand less chance of winding up stressed over it!

The tracker has now updated for me to:

"Your car is in the final stage of its journey to the UK. On average it takes 10 days from build for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer."

As yet it hasn't moved to in the UK but lets hope that coming soon
