I'm on the Georgia Highway with a scheduled arrival of 6/24

JimD · 06-15-2009, 05:47 PM

My CA said I was also on the Georgia Highway and would arrive 6/25 but he did not say what port. I asked for the port and also asked him to confirm the ship name. The Wallenius Wilhelmsen website does not recognize the Georgia Highway. Either there is another shipping company BMW uses of I did something wrong at the website.

I like the arrival date.

I like the arrival date.

The Georgia Highway is a K-Line vessel and its arriving at the Charleston, SC port. Per the .pdf file my CA gave me

JimD · 06-15-2009, 07:52 PM

I got another note from my CA and he also said Charleston. He said he'd send more information tomorrow. Charleston is very close to the Performance Center. I like this.

I must be on this one too as my CA said my car is coming to SC on 6/24.
He even said that it might make it to my dealer by the end of June.
So, that means a week from when the ship ports.
Do you guys think the cars headed for Chicago/NW Indiana will be on train and then truck, just truck?

Here is a picture of the Faust docked in Southampton, England.

Next Stop - Halifax, Nova Scotia!

Jimmydean · 06-16-2009, 07:21 AM

I'm pretty sure I'm on this boat too but I have no way to confirm without asking my CA, which I don't want to do because I've harassed them enough already.

You are buying a $45,000 car from them, they can answer a few questions for you. It's the least they could do.

A simple email won't hurt. He is probably sitting around bored anyway

adk749 · 06-16-2009, 06:53 PM

InfiniteJest · 06-16-2009, 08:18 PM

Correction, I bought a $29,100 car from them.

Jimmydean · 06-17-2009, 01:31 PM

Starting to get impatient. my old car keeps breaking.
I talked to the skipper of the Faust today and he said he can only go 15-20 knots due to weather.

bummer.

supraking · 06-17-2009, 02:37 PM

Just got off with my CA, delivery is Friday morning at 9:45!

I'll post up some pics when I eventually get to work, but I think I'll be taking the morning off

I called him as well. I told him there is significant incentive awaiting him in New York if he puts the pedal to the metal.

So, that's about 18mph avg.?
18 x 24hrs = 342 miles in 1 day, or 3420 in 10 days, 4788 in 14 days.

How many miles from the Euro port to SC port?

I was told my 135i is on the Hestia Leader. Anyone else on that ship? What's the best way to track it, and get pictures through the Panama Canal?

adk749 · 06-18-2009, 08:09 PM

...docks into NY in one week. Anyone able to track it while it is open waters?

Jimmydean · 06-18-2009, 08:55 PM
