Ship Tracking

[mk7gti]

I was thinking we should have a new thread dedicated to the tracking of the car transporters from Emden

I see the EMS HIGHWAY is a few miles away from Grimsby i'm hoping my car is currently on-board.

I used to check the boats when my Scirocco shipped from Santander!!

Was you a confirmed 33? Or a confirmed 32 that slipped? I was a confirmed 33 and my tracker only changed to In Transit today.

Yeah I was a week 32 that slipped to 33 and my car went into transport on the Wednesday 14th of August. According to the trackers its not in the UK as yet. Fingers crossed im on the above boat.

[NickNotts]

Right, so I was a 33 that slipped too.... useless!! So end of September for me now then. Fingers crossed! That's 6 months from order to collection almost to the day!

[NickNotts]

While I think about it, what does your order tracker say for In Transit? Does it have an ETA or number of days?

[mk7gti]

Your car is on the next stage of its journey to the UK. On average it takes 3 weeks for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer.

Thanks for those links, mk7.

This looks like the next one coming in to sheerness. Due in tomorrow evening... Hope some of the southern members' cars (especially mine) are on board

I'm hoping mines on board as well, but out of interest, how do you know that VW use the EMS Highway ?

[mk7gti]

I cant be 100% sure wishful thinking
