You'll be able to see it as it arrives at any port.

    Generally the ships travel to Southhampton, so if the above is not obsessive enough you can go here - http://www.cowesharbourweather.com/webcam.aspx. You can SEE the ship go past/through Cowes harbour on its way to Southhampton..........

    I'm off to book another appointment to the therapist.
    haha, i didnt go as far as webcams, but i did get email alerts form some site on the ships location....


    i pinched myself when i considered going to port Melbourne to watch it come into port..

    Had my dealer advise me after requesting an update on my car that it was on a ship and expected to arrive in Sydney on 12th April. Checked the tracking website again tonight and still no records found. Is this normal or is the dealer not being totally upfront with me about things?

    Thanks

    My car only showed up a few days ago, yet is due in on the 4th April. You can look at the schedules by port here - http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...countryList.do

    From that you'll be able to work out with ship the car is on.

    Based on this I think what you're experiencing is pretty normal.

    Mine is due in melb on 7-Apr, so I'm guessng th one after yours Sp0t, but mines been up on that website for a bit over a week now.
    I'd still give it until the end of th week, but I guess so long as you've got th VIN then you don't have too much to worry abt.

    Now that you mention it mine is the 7th too, so we're on the same boat. Not sure what I was thinking earlier.

    What build week was yours?

    Going off the booking date for shipping, I'd say it was week 6-7 ish.

    Thanks spOt

    Looks like mine is sailing on the Morning Conductor although still cannot track it by VIN as of last night. Hopefully it will show up soon and i will be able to track it as definately on this ship. Only one that meets the date schedule.

    Mine was also scheduled Week 10. Dealer has provided me (today) with my vin and stated "Currently listed as ‘Int Transfer’....somewhere between factory and water." I will be checking the shipping daily until it appears on a ship and then, like all those needing a therapist, will track and hopefully watch it through all the ports to Melbourne.

    Anyone expecting their vehicle to be on the MV Topeka arriving 2am Fri ?

    Was told by my dealer that my vehicle was arriving mid Mar.
