    I can't find the Kentucky Highway's revised schedule. When is it due to dock in NJ?

    It will update when it departs Jacksonville terminal but we will have less than an hour to see it before it's out of range. Not much AIS on east coast.

    The waiting and not knowing is tough ! I feel like I'm in rehab and I'm trying to deal with my addiction. Luckily, I'm in Group Rehab!!!!:D

    "Hi Fred" (said in unison by all of us waiting impatiently for our new cars.)

    Thanks to you sailor-boys who are keeping tabs on these ships.

    Thanks, yes it seems there is very little AIS coverage on the East Coast.
    I think it's going to be 2-3 days late getting to our port up here. :(

    So true and worst of all we really need the car to get here soon. Our one car is not able to ferry us both to our jobs.
    Looks like a 2-3 day delay at this point.

    Is Portland the only US port of Apollon Leader? My car is supposed to be on that ship. I think it's heading to Vancouver next. Other dealers in Tennessee seem to be getting their cars on the Auriga Leader. Are cars being transported to the southeast by train from the west coast?

    According to marinetraffic.com it is on the high seas between NoCal and SoCal. I think mine is on that ship too. Dealer states supposed to arrive in Long Beach tomorrow.

    Hi James! Just wondering if you know the next ship that is scheduled for Newark? Is it Pyxis Leader? I noticed it is moving into the Panama.
    Thanks FRED:confused:

    Yes Pyxis Leader is the next ship bound for Newark. Supposedly it has over 5,000 cars on it. I don't know if they are all Prius'. i tend to doubt ALL of them would be Prius'.
    Congrats on finding it! I've been looking everywhere for that ship but it's been out of range until you found it.

    I think they take other brands, used vehicles and construction/indutrial machines back. Whaever they can get to offset the deadhead costs.

    Think you guys no more about the ships than I do now.
    Now if I could just find 1000 people to give me $30 each.....

    They have to take something somewhere but for sure it won't be cars to Japan. They might pick up equipment in one port and ferry it along the way back to get more cars. I'm not certain.
    Some of those ships use a lot of fuel, so as you say they have to offset their costs.
    I'll see what I can dig up about it.
