Woot, mine is on a boat (BALPOA)! On the Donington, but the ASK Mini guy said there wasn't a carrier name listed. ETA: found it: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/DONINGTON-IMO-9748291-MMSI-636017870 ProdDate 12 May (bumped once from 10 May) Exterior Body Assembly Began 6 May Paint 9 May Quality Checks 11 May Dispatched 13 May At UK Port 14 May Departure 22 May ETA Baltimore 30 May
If your car ships with W/W you may be able to track it here by inputting your VIN: https://www.walleniuswilhelmsen.com/track-trace I would try all three options in the dropdown. It also used to take 2-3 days before you would get results once the ship sails. That only works for W/W ships though. If you are going to Port Hueneme (west coast of US) the most recent sailing (Tulane) left Southampton on 5/17 and will arrive in P/H on 6/11. Here are the other shipping lines BMW/Mini uses: (from an old post on BMW forums) http://www2.nykline.com/vesselschedu...nableCheck.nyk http://www.nykroro.com/customer/schedules.html http://www.2wglobal.com/webapps?url=...ppSchedules%2F http://www.arcshipping.com/schedule/ http://www.kline.com/ Then click on schedules > RORO http://www.molroro.com/MOLVesselSchedule.aspx Mine just got to the port. If it ships on a W/W vessel and isn't subject to an interminable wait I may make the Tijuca sailing out of Southampton on the 6/2 arriving in Hueneme on 6/24. The next few W/W sailings to Port Hueneme are: 6/11 - 7/08 - Carmen 6/19 - 7/14 - Tannhauser 7/12 - 8/05 - Oberon If it ships on NYK here are the next sailings between Southampton and P/H: 5/25 - 6/16 - Grand Cosmo 5/30 - 6/23 - Heritage Leader 6/09 - 6/30 - Sagittarius Leader 6/16 - 7/08 - Cepheus Leader It doesn't look like K-Line goes through the Panama Canal nor does ARC or MOL so not going to be any of those sailings.
Just a heads up that I'm pretty sure WW stopped allowing VIN tracking on their website citing "privacy concerns" a while back. Easiest thing to do is call 866-ASK-MINI and ask what ship your car is on. They'll tell you the name, and you can use the various ship tracking sites to track from there.
Nice , mine is there also since may 19 waiting for a ship to NY port on may 26 I hope. There are two leaving that day. Wallenius wilhemsen - Thermopylae / caroline the New York route.
Got word via 866-ASK-MINI, that my Sig SE with a prodDate of 5/12, is on the Donington which departed Southampton on 5/22 and arrives in Baltimore on 5/30. I am out of country until 6/9. Looks like I should have a Mini at the dealer when I get back. Order to pickup I'm now looking at exactly three months and 1 week.
Same situation! Exciting! I am leaving town for a week and a half on the 29th. Looks Like I should be picking up a Mini when I get back. Hell, I'll probably just take an Uber from the airport to pick up the car when I fly in to sign the final paperwork and drive away.
Oh my thanks for the adrenaline charge. I signed on the 18th (though it seems my dealership placed the orders for their April allocations on the 2nd of April), so it shouldn’t be too long now!
Mine was at the port since 5/18. Hoping that it will get into the same boat. Tried to call mini today and see if mine has assigned a vessel yet but it has not been assigned. The nice lady that I talked to told me to call next week s as me they should have the info. Hope my mini will make it for my birthday party! Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
Hey, good news! I’m on the Donington as well. My MA emailed me to let me know I was in transit before I caught it myself by obsessively refreshing! The Donington is K-line, not WW. Scheduled to arrive in Brunswick, GA on 6/3, so hopefully have it a week after. Just barely going to miss the autocross event on 6/7 I wanted to try her out on. I’m in Western NC in the mountains; had to order mine through the Mini dealer in Greenville, SC. I’ll update the spreadsheet, but for reference: - Deposit 3/5/22 - Scheduled for production 4/14 - Prod date 5/5, actual production started 5/11, finished QC 5/12 - At the port 5/13 - In transit 5/23 - Scheduled arrival at SSIPOA: 6/3
Don't let this happen: "OK, that completes the paperwork. We'll put your SE on the charger so it's ready to go when you come back tomorrow to take it home." Many Honda dealers were so clueless about the Clarity PHEV that they didn't charge the batteries and new owners had to limp home on the car's anemic 103-hp Atkinson-cycle ICE instead of getting to experience the 181-hp motor. I don't believe any MINI dealer could be that clueless, but you can't be too careful.
Looks like we're shipmates, my Mini is also on the Olympian Highway. https://universe.fleetmon.com/explorer/vessel/13589304?zoom=3.60&search=OLYMPIAN+HIGHWAY&searchOpen=true&baseLayer=fm-light&myFleet=true&listFilterText=olympian+highway
Congrats! Not sure if you have the trial for satellite tracking, but here's it's current position: Fleetmon's estimates say it won't arrive till the 27th, but the ship is still saying the 26th.
