Ship Tracking

[mk7gti]

Mines motor is now in the UK 1 day after changing to the ten day status.

Excellent news! 

Really hoping mines on the one that's just left no tracker update yet, VW said "on a boat by the first" so have everything crossed.

Morning all,

Looks like my car made it onto the autoprestige as the vw tracker has updated to the 10 days to arrive at the dealer. Hopefully not too much longer!

On another note I drove past an m135 the other day, didn't look bad, but still personally I prefer the golf :-)

Cheers,
Phil

There are a few shipping websites to look at scheduled departures from Emden and scheduled arrivals at the port you are expecting your car to be shipped to (Sheerness/Grimsby/Tyne).

Next vehicle carrying ship to Grimsby from Emden is the Schelde Highway. There is a car carrier called "Thames Highway" coming into Emden tomorrow to pick up more cars, but as of yet I can't tell where it is going.

port of Tyne has an excellent website of it's own, but Grimsby and Sheerness don't seem to have a good one of their own that I can google.

http://www.portarrivals.com, good for seeing what is coming into Emden and checking on the ship's usual route to determine if your expected port of arrival in the UK is serviced on it's usual voyage "loop".

marinetraffic.com is OK, but doesn't show very far ahead.

"City of Rotterdam" is on a regular Emden to Tyne route. The ship is due in at Emden tomorrow at 1pm. Port of Tyne's website doesn't have it down as a future destination after Emden. That's not to say it won't be heading that way (I hope it will). Perhaps the next destination won't be confirmed for Tyne's own website until it has arrived at Emden (if it is going to Tyne next with my GTD!)?

Thanks again MH. I'm going to keep an eye on those, just as a little bit of something to pass a bit of time

Right, mine finally went to "10 days", so hopefully that means its finally on a boat which will hopefully dock at Grimsby Monday/ Tuesday.

What do you think the possibility is that I can collect next weekend (as my dealer is only 80 miles down the M62 from the docks), or is that a little unrealistic ?
