Toyota Plug-In Ship Carriers

I'm not a guru, but based on previous boats, it looks to be about a month from Japan to Newark with a stop in Jacksonville, FL.

Both the Century Highway No. 2 and American Highway should be "in range" according to the posted schedule but neither is at this writing. Maybe the reason that we get such indefinite answers from the dealers is that the E in the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) is the controlling issue. It is, after all, just an estimate.

As you said, we wait and wait some more.

 

I hope that I didn't miss it in this thread somewhere but how do I find out which carrier my car was shipped on? The dealer hasn't been able to get much info. All that I know is that, per the toyota website, my Prius was built on 2/26/2012. Where/how do I find the ship that is transporting it to Benicia, CA? My order number was 132 and was confirmed within minutes so based on a first-in-first-out methodology, I should have happily had it weeks ago but I'm still waiting, with very little information. Any input/help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I hope they don't get sea sick!

Just a thought, I think, if I remember right the day the American Highway left the port in Japan I thought it was strange because it said it left 2/28/12 only I was sure it was early 2/29/12. I know it said it would arrive Portland on the 12th But! If it left the 29th That would put it in Portland on the 13th not the 12th? Thoughts?

 

American Highway is about 75 miles from Astoria! So not to long to Portland.

hi james, any sign of the rio? thanks!

 

Should appear off Baja in about 5 days.

 

I noticed that this ship
PYXIS - Vessel's Details and Current Position - 8514083 - 355999000
left Tahara on March 3 or 4 bound for Benicia. There would have been plenty of time to get your car on that ship. Notice that the estimated time of arrival in Benicia is 3/14.

You may have noticed that the American Highway just turned away from the west coast. Right now there is actually snow falling at the mouth of the Columbia! It will be better to wait to go up the river to Portland in the morning when it is light.

 

3 ships waiting now. Mostly about getting the pilots out to the ships. Bad weather, high winds, and sea conditions and Columbia River Bar surf make it difficult for the smaller boats. 28 knot winds showing. New time
Destination: PORTLAND U.S.A.
ETA: 2012-03-13 09:00 (UTC) 4 or 5 am now I guess east coast sometime.

 

I checked the Heijin and it states it's in port but when you view it on the map it's still out by Oxnard. I'm hoping the port description is correct

Looks a little slick out there

American Highway might be awhile getting to port.
20 ft + swell with 20 ft breakers where the river meets the sea at "The Bar". Conditions may last all week.

Something to watch now

The primary method of pilot boarding is by helicopter. Not to night I think.

Im from Boston, and have been following this thread for weeks. I am going to call the dealer, but can anyone guess to where and when it will arrive. 4 months, and the last 3 weeks have been the worst...

thanks to all
