It took three days for mine to flip to "in transit" after it was already on the ship.

Tanzanite over tartufo M50 in transit.

Same here. as far as time at the Bremerhaven port goes, it took approx. 7 days to switch from At The Port to In Transit.

@Wodyetia I have a feeling it’s on a vessel since my status didn’t officially show At The Port until a day before yours—Feb 06, 2023. Fingers crossed it updates to In Transit for you in the next day or two at most. Who knows, maybe it’s on the same vessel as mine (Grand Legacy).

Hi! Quick update - Heritage Leader has arrived at PH and my BMW Garage now shows "at the port". Progress!

 

[Martin N]

Another data point: In BMW Garage my car showed "At the port" on 2/9. Today, 2/15, the status changed to "In Transit". Called the Genius line and confirmed that it departed Bremerhaven on 2/12 and is on the Volans Leader. Voyage scheduled to take 26 days.

In transit, on Cronus Leader! Now four weeks of tracking a little (big) ship…..

On the same ship!

Scheduled Actual Date New change Missed Date

I'd already written it down, I figured why not share?

NYK - Week 6 Schedule dated 8FEB
WW - Schedule accessed 12 Feb-1330

By chance do you have this for east coast bound ships?

By chance do you have this for east coast bound ships?

Sorry, but hell no.
The Western US (99% of the time) has one port of export (Bremerhaven) and one port of entry (Port Hueneme.)
There are only two shipping lines (NYK and Willennius Wilhelmsen) that ply this route for BMW, and both have easily accessible schedules.

Near as we can tell, this covers Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California. It also covers the first leg of the journey for Hawaii, and presumably Alaska.

The Eastern US (99% of the time) has one port of export (Bremerhaven), six ports of import [New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, Charleston, Brunswick (GA) and I believe Houston (could be Galveston, I forget)] just off the top of my head. They also use about any or all of the shipping lines. NYK, WW, Hoegh, Glovis, K Line, Mitsui, Yusen and maybe Stena. Some of these do not post schedules online.

In other words, about 2 or 3 orders of magnitude more to track than the Western US.


I do this because it's manageable. Tracking the other coast would be a full-time job. Literally. BMW probably pays a couple of people to keep track of all that for them.

Hello! Quick update from me - car was on the Heritage Leader that arrived in Port H on 2/15. It has arrived at my dealer today in the Bay Area! Unfortunately, I can't get there to pick it up until Thursday - but so excited!!! Will send photos when I have it in my possession!

 

[atonnu]

Mine is scheduled to ship from VPC on 2/18 and will get to San Diego on 2/21.

 

[VegasM50]

Car was on heritage leader and is sitting at the dealership now in South OC, but can’t pick it up until the end of the month. Gonna be a struggle to not just get up one day and drive out (I’m in Las Vegas).

 

[kindofblue]

My i4 was built Feb 9 and is now listed as "at port" but I hadn't checked it for updates recently. Once it's "in transit" I'll ping my SA for the name of the ship.

 

[rollermonkey]

NYK has released their week 7 schedule, with no real surprises, just the usual pattern of dates sliding right. It's really very easy for ships to fall behind, it's MUCH more difficult (read as: expensive) for them to make up time and/or get ahead of schedule.
WW, on the other hand, has now completely cancelled a voyage for the second week in a row, although they did insert a new a ship to replace last week's cancellation, and added some at the end of the list.

I also went back and added Heritage Leader's voyage, now that it has been completely confirmed that some BMW i4s were unloaded from it at Port Hueneme, even though it never actually went to Bremerhaven. We had heard some suggestions from the Genius line that this was possible, but in every case, the ship still actually went to Bremerhaven, and usually the named ship often hadn't actually been to Zeebrugge in the purported timeframe. Based on those, it was much more likely that a stop sale or missing item being installed was the cause for a brief 'In Transit' status. Due to the unreliability of the Genius' reporting of these Zeebrugge loadings, I'm not going to add ships to this list based on Genius reports unless the same events can be confirmed: A named ship that does not goes to Bremerhaven, is provided to a buyer, and this name remains associated until off-loading in California.

This sequence has been vanishingly rare, as in this is the first such occurrence I'm aware of that actually has been confirmed, and I'm chalking it up as an experiment similar to the AutoEnergy flustercluck, but this was far more successful than that nightmare. If this starts happening regularly, maintaining this list from two ports of export will be more work than I'm interested in, sorry about that. if the backlog at Bremerhaven is clearing up though, it probably won't be repeated.

NYK Week 6 schedule and WW have been updated in the OP.
Biggest news is WW has now cancelled 3 voyages in 2 weeks, no clue why.
No events in the past few days, but Themis is supposed to Leave Bremerhaven tomorrow.

Poseidon Leader just chilling a few miles off of Port Hueneme. not at anchor just going slow. Weather in LA keeping the roro's from mooring?

Possibly just a $$$ thing, as tugboats, harbor pilots and mooring linehandlers are more expensive outside of normal port operation times.

From looking at the traffic it may be that other ships haven't offloaded and they are just being delayed.

The OP has been updated for the Week 9 NYK schedule and WW updates.
Lots of arrivals and departures this past week, but the big news has to be NYK Lines changing their schedule format from micro-print all-on-one page, to an actually readable 2-page format. Yay!
😁

NYK also added 3 ships over 4 days in April to the end of their schedule. Since WW already had a voyage in that date range, if everything holds. that will be 4 vessels in 5 days. That should make a nice dent in any backlog still happening in Bremerhaven.

Thanks!!! I have been lurking this thread.
I've been 3 days in 190... What a timely update!

You're the MVP!
I guess the MVOP!!

Wow, thanks for managing this thread. We are now “ at the port” so hope to be “ in transit” soon. fingers crossed 🤞.
