While on their website I found this interesting bit of information... I'm not sure how 'zactly to read it but it appears from the manifest schedule that they gonna be offloading a LOT of cars in Port Hueneme before they move on (BTW the specs on the Tomar say that it can hold over 6,500 cars)

Here's some video of a car carrier like the Tomar being loaded...

It would be interesting to know how many "drivers" they actually use, and how long it takes to load/unload a few thousand cars or so...
The Port website did mention that they give port tours... might be a nice drive some weekend just to watch 'em do it.

If you do take a tour, how about taking a video and posting it here? If the tour doesn't include a walk-thru of the ship maybe you can make a few phone calls and arrange something.

Watch 'er come in
IF you've got nothing better to do this Thanksgiving day... you can track the Tomar to Port Hueneme.
It recently showed up (south of Ensenada) heading 336° at 18.1 knots

Interesting article
Probably won't affect us...much. I hope the Tomar isn't the first BMW/MINI ship of November... But I came across the following article.

The management of the west coast’s Oxnard Vehcile Preparation Center at Port Hueneme will be outsourced to Amports beginning on November 1, 2009.
