Any idea which ship docked last night (Moday night) as mine turned to Arrived in UK on Tuesday morning (apols as I am BW8 but just curious about which ship) - thanks!

I would hazard a guess at the Viking Constanza, it seems to be the only regular Sheerness boat at the moment.

I suspect your boat may have came in earlier than Monday though,  it looks like the VW tracker may be taking a few days to update (if my theory below is correct).

The reason i say this is, my car is currently on 10 days from yesterday morning, which i believe means "on a ship" (i may be wrong though). It takes around 20 to 23 hours to go from Emden to Sherness. There doesn't seem to be any ships scheduled to make that trip in the next 24 hours, so i think my car may have been on either the Viking Constanza or the African Highway these both landed in Sheerness last night and left again this morning.

Fingers crossed that my theory is correct and i get the "Your car is in the UK" email tomorrow lol

I think your theory about the tracker being a few days behind is correct!
I'm also BW8 and my car updated to being in the UK even though the boat left about a day earlier from Grimsby

Mine also changed from 3 weeks to 10 days on Monday and arrived in the Uk on Tuesday!

The tracker can't be totally trusted

Well my theory was correct, i did indeed get the "Your car is in the UK" email this morning 

Hoping to see my car in Scotland within the next 2 weeks 

Saying that due to the road tax month changing over it will be more likely April  before i see it.

Result Red Tornado - and thansk for the ship info - saw lots of pics of it on Google, imagining my car being discorged at Sheerness!!

[TheRedTornado]

Had the call this morning to confirm my car is now at the dealers and will be delivered to myself on the 28th 
Haven't got a clue what i will do for the next 10 days with no VW or boat tracker to look at every 10 min lol.

Have any of you other BW9's got your car yet?

Mine changed to "in the UK" this morning. No collection date yet.

Build week 10  for my new touareg and it has just arrived at Grimsby docks,apparently there is a back log with delivery I have also read in the press that the car transporter drivers are thinking of going on strike.
