'Hot unit discharge'?

I have the words 'HOT UNIT DISCHARGE' written on my cargo status on the WW tracking site. What does this mean exactly?

It means that they forgot to turn the ignition off when they loaded it, so the engine is hot when they unload it.


I have the same.

I had that on mine back in the days....
For me, it meant that the car was marked as a priority in terms of getting it off the boat, getting to compliance/inspection and getting it out the gate.

It's a good thing :smile:

No, mine was one of those cars delivered around 30 June. They put priority on it to aid me avoiding stamp duty. That, and they sent my car to Melbourne when the ship carrying it decided not to stop in Perth and I complained loudly....mine wasn't the only car though, the whole boat load of Perth bound cars that were pre-sold to customers was marked as hot unit discharge.
