Actually, I was pleasantly surprised to be on this ship based on all of logistics involved. Some folks wait a while at port for the right ship, others seem to get right on. I dropped off my car at the Munich Airport the evening of 3/29. From there it was transported to a train and then a train ride from Munich to Bremerhaven.

You should get on it. Ships from Bremerhaven to PT. Hueneme are bracketed every fortnight.

Thanks very much for the info OP. Just checked and found out the car is on this ship.

Waiting "patiently" for the car will put me in an asylum...

Remain Optimistic. Even if your VIN does not show after the 9th there is still a good chance that your car made it on the ship. I have read about other individuals that got on a boat but it was never updated on the Wallineus web site. You can always contact your CA as well, he may have more info.

I will continue to update this thread with statuses during the journey. I have added come countdown tickers to the 1st post as well.

If I contact my dealer, would he be able to tell me which ship it's on?
I was checking daily with the phone service, and the status changed to in transit this morning. Would I be on this ship too??
