Apparently your MA would have the best data. So it might be worth just calling him/her to find out if you're on a boat and which one. Make them earn their "5" on the evaluation. :-)
My guess is that the data on the WW site isn't necessarily updated instantaneously, so maybe you won't show up right away.

Coneslayer, from what I understand, you have to get the actual ship/line in order to track on NYK's website. And you have to get that info. from your dealer.
glennaa, I wish my dealer/MA was that responsive. I've already asked for the boat specifics several times and nothing so far. Been a bit frustrating getting information out of them in general. At some point, I'm gonna have to go over his head and talk directly to the Sales Manager. But I guess I feel silly resorting to that over the boat schedule!

For the record, the automated tracking at ASKMINI says my car is at the port of exit, with no shipping information available. My VIN is unknown at the WW tracking site.

You can get some additional hints to the schedule here:

Use Port Hueneme in the port name in the Export Ship search box with a date starting 2-3 days before the ship leaves Southampton. This is tracking from Bremerhaven port that loads BMW's before going to Southampton. I was able to find the pheonix leader here.
Once your car leaves port your MA should be able to give you the ship information.
Take it from me though, knowing the ship and having no real way to track it for 23 days is just total stress city

Sorry to hear about you bad MA. Mine has been great...putting up with my emails and giving me the info I ask for. He was off today but I am hoping to hear some news tomorrow.
Now if I could just convince him to come pick me up at home when it's time to collect my car instead of making me take the bus to the airport to pick me up there.

I'm a little late getting into the support group, but I've been very fortunate on the timing. I ordered on the 22nd, and the car was finished on Monday (that puts me in week 9, right?). Its currently being transported to the dock, even though I haven't waited too long, I still can't wait!
Anywho, I'm getting a DS/W MCS with stripes, LSD, MFSW, Chrome Interior, and HK. More or less a stripper. Its just getting ready to warm up outside, and I'll be ready. I've been plotting out twisty roads and autocross dates across the entire Midwest!
A Chicago delivery should go to a NY port, right?

Jeremy hello, I think our cars will be traveling together, Mine is going to MINI of the Hamptons, but then on to California. I haven't been able to find the ship yet, maybe tomorrow they will give me more information. I believe it is still going to arrive much earlier than promised. They originally said Mid May, kind of looks like I might get it MId April or sooner.

If it's on the boat now you will certainly get your car before mid-April. It takes 9 days across the pond, so you ought to be at the port on the 16th. Then 2-5 days at the port and getting trucked to the Hamptons. Depending on dealer installed options I would guess you should have your car by early April at the latest since it probably takes a week or so to cross the country.

Can't get confirmation that it's on the boat, Ask Mini says it's being loaded, but they don't have any shipping information yet. God this is so hard, I am in love with that car and I have never even laid eyes on it Anyway I will check again tomorrow, also I have been checking all the shipping lines and so far no info for my VIN

Trailing behind but getting there
Well, I called Ask Mini and yesterday my MINI was in the paint shop. Today when I called they told me "Production is complete and it's waiting to be released to the carrier" Yippee!! And I got my VIN number (boy, this is so exciting!!) My question is, do I now use the WW site to track the MINI? Since I live in MA, I'll need a boat that goes to NY/New Jersey...

Hi guys,
glen, i tried the site that was on the MINI Faq but it's really hard to find your boat on it . I then found this link below. It's for the Boheme but I guess you can change the call sign or if you go to the main page put in the info of the Integrity .. ?
if any of you are on the Boheme, you can track it here.
