Tirranna is docking in Melbourne in just over an hour

=)))))))

I wonder if my car is (or since it docked yesterday... was) aboard the Tirranna then, as my dealership advises an ETA to their location of 27/07.

Starting to get excited for the RS, advertised my Mazda last week and took a deposit on Sunday which I'm very pleased with. And the chap who is looking to buy my Mazda would like me to drop by sometime with the Skoda, he quite likes those aswell.

Edit: Confirmed, my vehicle is also on board the Tirranna, sitting just South of Cape Schanck at the moment... showing an ETA to dock of 1400 today but will likely be pushed back a little.

Heh, call me a nerd, but I've been tracking the boat all afternoon. It's just disappeared off the tracker after most recently showing it turning around in port in Melbourne, dare I say it's now docked. Now the waiting really begins, knowing it's tantilisingly close!

I've never been more excited to get a new car compared to this one... a 6 month wait tends to do that to you!

EDIT - The vessel now showing as moored!

No not a nerd, watched the ship dock (~5:30pm 13-7-15) on the port of Melbourne webcam. Checked inventory at least 80 Octavia's of which 15 are hatch/sedan (19%), and 65 wagons(81%). What is interesting is the break down by type
For Sedans
Ambition 103TSI (33.3%), ambition+/elegance 103TSI (20%), Elegance/VRS 2L TDI(0%), Elegance 132 TSI (0%), VRS 162TSI (46.7%)

For wagons
Ambition 103TSI (6.15%), ambition+/elegance 103TSI (26.15%), Elegance/VRS 2L TDI(3%), Elegance 132 TSI (3%), VRS 162TSI (61.54%)

mine is one of the two elegance 132 TSI loaded originally. Unsure of how many of the above were off loaded in NZ and how many are for Port Kembla/Brisbane.

Wow... where'd you find all that information? I was using a pretty basic tracker for the vessel itself, never really thought to look at the inventory.

Hi I went to the shipping line website Wallenius & Wilhelmsen logistics tracking page. Entered my vin, using that it identified the ship and gave me the "Bill of Lading number" using this you can check all the other vin # on that batch. I checked for other batches sequentially and found another skoda batch and at least 3 VW batches loaded on the ship. Using excel I Decoded the VIN s and sorted by type Etc. Stat's are part of my job. note the w&w website also gives a detailed itinerary for the ship expected arrival and departures dates for every stop planned.

At least one RS wagon will be destined to be offloaded at Port Kembla, that's mine

Edit: scratch that, I'm on the 'Carmen' so not the same ship. Mine's due on the 17th so I just assumed it was the same boat.
