Both ship can haul 5000/4900 cars

I looked it up but still don't know what it actually means:
ETS = Estimated Time of Sail
ETA = Estimated Time of Arrival

So ETS is when it set sail (leave Germany) and ETA is when it arrive at its destination (CA)? Sure seems like it, they're approx 3weeks apart.

I just called the 800 number to check the status (see if my 135 has get on the boat yet), but then for the first time, the Auto Phone system transfer me to a human. The rep said she couldn't check he status of that car, the system "stop updating". What the heck does that mean? the OC site still say it's "awaiting transport". I hope nothing bad happen to it (like it fall into the ocean while being lift into the boat or something)... I probably just being paranoid, but does this happened to anyone here?

Thanks

Looks like I made it onto the 28th Departing ship, The MAERSK WELKIN. Guess it's a Singapore ship, I hear they are anally clean and tidy, hopefully Car won't get damaged. Here's a picture of the ship

Sigh, I didn't get on that boat...
