INTEGRITY sails on Sat. 2/4 arriving in NYC on Sun. 2/12. All east coast MINI's enter either in NYC or Charleston - that's where they have car prep facilities. Enter you VIN # on the Wilhelmsen site as discussed over on the Prod. Wk 4 thread. Stand by for possible disappointment - I was booked on the Boheme, which departed yesterday, but for unknown reasons I missed the boat and am now set for the Integrity. saakey, it'll be interesting to see if our cars end up at Towson together.

 

Hey bluzeke, Did i miss that info on that site?
And I can only assume if we are on the same ship heading to the same dealer, we should arrive together. I wonder how long from the time the ship docks (on the 12th) it will take to reach Towson?… and maybe I’ll see you there

 

My MINI is on the docks waiting to get aboard the "Integrity" also. The Integrity is scheduled to sail tomorrow (2/3) and arrive in Charleston on 2/18.)

 

Actually the INTEGRITY sails from Southhampton on Sat. 2/4 but is still scheduled to make Charleston on 2/18.

 

I still don't see where it says it is to set sail today

 

Just found this thread. Thanks everyone for the great links!! I found the ship but it hasn't updated since 1/30 but it should be getting very close. Last word I got from MINIUSA was it should reach port 2/5. That would be tomorrow.

Can't believe #2 will be getting here so fast. We ordered 12/14/05. We bought straight off the lot for the first one so all this tracking is new to me.

 

it appears that once the ship near the coast it doesn't report to the
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/index.html site.

If you haven't check it out at http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do
go to "auto cargo" then enter your vin # from miniusa in the "cargo id" box and hit enter. You can then click on the words/numbers to the right of the word voyage, and you see the schedule of the ship.

 

I got it now

 

Saakey . . . check the Prod. Wk. 4 thread . . we're all over this . . . or tell me your VIN # and I'll see if you made today's loadup of the Integrity.

 

Hey bluzeke, well it did show that I was booked on the Integrity:

Cargo Id : WMWRE33526TL20927

Oops

 

Saakey -

As much as some would like it to be true, MINIs are not made in Detroit and shipped by Great Lakes tankers to your dealership.... This Integrity has probably never seen salt water in her life.

This is the REAL Integrity, though apparently quite emply in this photo -

whew...well that's a relief... now i will be able to sleep at night

 

Whoo Hooo! The Integrity is now out in the Atlantic according to http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml Saakey...you and I should have our MINIs soon!

 

My Betty was built a week ago. How do I track her? i have the production # and Vin #?? She must be onboard somewhere?

 

Bluzeke,
How do I fine where she is? my production number is 6989584,
thanks for any and all the help.

 

Go to the very beginning of this thread, all the info is there.

 

Thanks for the info on tracking the boat. I was given an ETA of 2/8 to the US by my MA, but using the links above, I found out this morning that my CR MCSC is on US soil already! Make that ! I could possibly pick it up Friday, though next Monday is more likely. I guess I can make it through one more weekend. . .

 

Anyone else on the Jingu Maru, you can watch it leave the Port of Southampton, UK here tonight >> LIVE, just refresh the page.

Is your dealer Dreyer & Reinbold? If so we might be picking up the same day! Mine was on the Patriot and should be in at D&R Friday or Monday (I am hoping).

Can

 

MINItencan,
Yes, I'm picking up at D&R on Monday. My MA (Rhonda) told me that it should arrive by Friday.

 

Quoting myself here... The above link will work for all ships in Southampton, UK port.

I forgot one tiny little detail. When checking on the Wallenius Wilhelmsen site if your VIN has a "*" after it this might mean it is cued up on the docks and will load on the next available boat and not the vessle that is shown. I re-checked this morning and my Cooper S didn't make it on the Jingu Maru (call letters JPPT) last night (as it was shown yesterday) but instead was bumped and now is scheduled to load onto the Tancred (call letters LALX4) which of course is not even due into Southampton until 14/02/2006. The wait is on again...

Resourceful links again...
1. Go here first, Wallenius Wilhelmsen site
>> http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do
and enter click on "Auto Cargo" on the right, then enter your VIN #

After this you can find your "Booking Number", "Vessle Name", "Voyage" (which is clickable) and search by these. If your VIN # has an asterik after it, chances are it is in the port of Southampton, UK but not physically loaded. Don't get cranky, your MINI isn't the only one that has to get loaded...

2. When you find your final Vessles Name, go here to find it's call letters, this will help you track it on the next steps >> http://www.world-register.net/index/A1.shtml
In my case, it is now the "TANCRED" on the "T" listings, page 3. Call letters are "LALX4"

3. You can try out the Live Radar link of Associated Port of Southampton, UK
>> http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/radcap.asp just refresh every five minutes or so.

4. Once out to sea, and armed with your Vessles name and call letters, you can try tracking by these resources
