Anyone else on the Grand Venus? Can't find much info on the vessels port arrival / departure dates and it seems to be of range for real time tracking.

Dealer tells me arrival in CA on 10/11.

Almost home!

RPMjunkie · 09-20-2011, 12:05 PM

I did a vessel search on marinetraffic.com and couldn't find the vessel or the track. I am waiting on that ship as well

v1k0d3n · 09-20-2011, 12:09 PM

google grand venus vessel. this works with pretty much ALL of the ships that I have tried tracking: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shi...MMSI=351034000

click on lat/long. it will display the last reported/known position. not ALL of the ships will show up when they are way out at sea, but this should get you started. hope that helps!

Looks like it was last reported out at the Celtic sea. I've seen this on other ships as well, and typically will not be seen again until it shows up close to stateside.

Mahlzeit · 09-20-2011, 01:26 PM

Thanks v1,... found that link as well, but didn't click the lat/lon thing. Last recorded yesterday, 9/19: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/def...012:32:00%20PM

I also had trouble finding who runs this ship - as I want to know the CA port where it'll arrive.

Hang in there RPM,....

RPMjunkie · 09-22-2011, 11:03 AM

Looks like it will be in on Oct. 13th, look aout halfway down the page.

cool,... thx for the tip!

nsandawd · 10-03-2011, 11:00 AM

Just got through the Panama canal. I'm on it too!

nsandawd · 10-03-2011, 11:02 AM

Btw, I work for Schomp BMW in CO. It is estimated to arrive in Port Hueneme CA on 10/11.

RPMjunkie · 10-08-2011, 10:35 AM

Just checked the ship's AIS information and it says it will be into Port Hueneme on Oct 9th at 0300L (local) time. It's currently off the Baja Mexico.

Man I hope that's correct!

Mahlzeit · 10-08-2011, 11:42 AM

Oh boy oh boy. Marinftraffic all week was showing the last reported position as the pacific side of the canal.

So stoked if the boat and car arrive a tad early!!

RPMjunkie · 10-09-2011, 05:14 PM

Is the boat pilot drunk or something? For the last day he's been doing figure 8's in the ocean, must have no room in-port for them to arrive early.

Recording of "Pirates of the Carribean 5" has started ?

Seriously though: soon it will be all yours.

Mahlzeit · 10-10-2011, 07:37 PM

30 minutes to port arrival!

CA says 'should be about 7 days'. So I'm thinking next week I'll get this little beast in my grubby little hands.

Muuuahahahahah

RPMjunkie · 10-10-2011, 09:14 PM

I wont be as lucky...mine will have to take the long trip up the left coast to Seattle. Soon....very soon though

Mahlzeit · 10-13-2011, 07:07 PM

Boat arrived physically in port on the 10th,.... and just today the 13th, the BMW tracking site says:

'Finishing Touches' status!

Oh man - it's getting real. Wahoo! I'm really really hoping I get the car BEFORE next weekend. Fingers crossed.

Mahlzeit · 10-15-2011, 12:57 PM

Got the call yesterday morning while at work. Nice Friday surprise!

Drove off by 5:09, car had 6 miles on the clock. First impression? Torque!
