    Looks like it's running in circles so it's at anchor, probably waiting it's turn to head into Port. These trackers are not real time sometimes they are behind a bit but it is clearly anchored outside of Port. I'm not certain why since it was shown at port before but not now.
    Anyway it's not far off. According to the dealers it can take 7-14 days to get to the dealership after the Port.
    I guess it depends on what they are doing to it. If a lot of options have to be added, it will take longer than throwing a set of floormats into the trunk. ;)

    Yes, as others have mentioned it was just moored out in the bay for the day but it looks like it just pulled up to the pier. It took only about 1/2 day to offload the cars when it last pulled into S.F. so let's hope for a speedy offload.

    Yes it looks like they were finally able to pull into port. That's a very busy port and it's fairly small. So they probably had to wait their turn. I'm sure it will be offloaded fairly quickly even tho it's huge!
    This is a big ship. I'm not able to pull up numbers on it for some reason except overall size 199 meters long, 32 meters wide, Draught 7.8 meters, but it will probably hold about 5,000 cars. It's not giving me any car quantity listings on it anywhere.
    It's specifically designed to carry vehicles tho.
    Vehicle Carrier ships use the "Highway" designation in their name.
    Just like Container vessels use "Bridge" in their name.

    My next delivery of cars before this weekend (or perhaps Saturday arrivals) are off the Continental Highway ship.

    None off the Indiana are ready to roll yet -- but it's wonderful news, have a lot of cars off that boat pre-sold ... hope no one's car gets dropped into the Pacific! :cool: (kidding)

    The ship docked at port ages ago and left! Your car is being prepped by the Port so probably not too much longer.
    It's off the ship for certain.
    You should call your dealer and ask what the status is. If it's in F staus that means it's going to be delivered very soon. :rockon:

    Mine took two weeks. The dealer told me it usually takes 10 days to three weeks. By the way, it's a better car than I had hoped. Hozz

    I looked on Vessel Tracker and I can't find it. What site do you use to track?
    Thanks!
