I'm "in the same boat."

My car was finished on 3/7 so maybe it just didn't get to the dock in time.
Mine also finished production 3/7, but has not shown up on any of the shipping manifests. So, (to Beauxgoris) we are figuratively "in the same boat." But, sadly, NOT on the boat yet. Where is your Mini headed? Mine slowly making it's way to Portland, OR.

If your car does not show up on that site, then most likely your are on the K-Line!! (different carrier) Call your MA and see if they can get you a boat name, then you can track it another way!

Do the K-line ships go to the west coast? I looked at their website and only saw east coast destinations. Maybe I wasn't looking at the chart correctly. Anyone have info??

My mini is heading to the mid Atlantic (east coast). I live close to the port so at least I have that going for me - lol.

I did call my SA today and he said as of yesterday I wasn't yet on a boat. Rats!

I looked at their schedule also, and I don't think the K Line goes to the west coast. WW is using contract ships that don't show your VIN if you put it in their tracker. Our Countryman is on the Asian King. Here's the schedule of ships from Bremmerhaven to Port Hueneme since March 1 according to the WW schedule. Note that they go day/month/year rather than month/day/year. Several of these ships are not WW ships, but EUKOR ships.

BREMERHAVEN 10/03/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 04/04/2012 ASIAN KING
BREMERHAVEN 24/03/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 16/04/2012 GLORIOUS LEADER
BREMERHAVEN 10/04/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 02/05/2012 TOMAR
BREMERHAVEN 21/04/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 16/05/2012 GRAND MERCURY
BREMERHAVEN 05/05/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 30/05/2012 TOMBARRA
BREMERHAVEN 20/05/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 13/06/2012 TORINO
BREMERHAVEN 02/06/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 27/06/2012 ASIAN VISION

Also people can check the Port Hueneme arrival schedule; it is usually evident from the descriptions which vessels are carrying BMW/MINI vehicles or are wwl or k-line. It shows about a month's worth of arrivals. Some vessels are carrying Hyundai/Kia or Mitsubishi, and many banana boats!
Click on Current Vessel Schedule (pdf link) here:

So you decided to ditch the monster SUV! Very cool!
Now arm yourself with patience for the next 8 weeks or so! watching the process creep along will drive you insane.

Congratulations! Can't wait to see!

I heard from my SA today and my mini finally shipped. It should arrive on in port on March 29th (not sure which boat it's on). So hopefully I'm in the home stretch too!

Congrats to MiniMouse and Heartland, so excited for you guys!

I heard from my MA today that right on schedule, my Mini was born and released from the factory today. Now, I get to obsessively wait for it to find it's way onto a boat. Speaking of, I found out that port location is PHMPOA. So that means it's shipping on WW right? So do I just keep putting in the VIN number on the tracking site until something shows up? Is there another (earlier) way to determine where it is?

Thanks!!
