    I remember a few years ago when the Xbox 360 and playstation 3 came out in limited numbers kids would follow UPS trucks to the stores to try to get the hands on a game system before it hit the shelves. Do you think Prius fanatics will do the same ?

    Like the old guys following the tank truck that stocks trout in WVa? MD will not let you fish for a week. Or like all the people running behind Forrest Gump?

    What's on it is my new car! (maybe a few others, too). I thought it had already arrived and the cars were just waiting in port. What's up?

    I think this is trip number 2 from Japan. But where is/are the other ships said to be coming?

    I believe this is the one that has my car as well. I know it was assigned to Continental Highway, but we weren't clear which one. Based on the estimated June 4th date, I'd guess it's this boat.

    Kentucky Highway at Berth in Jacksonville Tuesday 5/26/09 7:00AM, right on (revised) schedule.

    Actually arrived in Jacksonville area Monday afternoon, but was not cleared to enter the port immediately.

    Dealers, dealers - mine called me yesterday; he was told my car might be delivered yesterday afternoon. Yeah, if they put it on a raft as the Kentucky Highway passed Ft. Lauderdale.

    SSA Marine - Case Studies / Innovating

    "When you discharge over half a million autos every year, every scratch counts – especially when the cost of each repair is over $1,000. " "more than 150 longshore workers can be assigned to drive autos off the ship in a single eight hour shift. " At the beginning of every shift, each driver is required to visit the training center - whether it is to watch a video about a specific vehicle they will be handling that day, pick up a brochure with safety information or read a training message with important information specific to that vessel or customer. "

    There are several websites like this one
    Kentucky Highway - Cargo Ship - Callsign: JKPP - vesseltracker.com

    or this one
    Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic and Positions#


    As long as you know the name of the ship you can find it if it's within the coverage area. Sometimes the ship isn't and then it's tough to find.

    The second link didn't work after 9pm last night. It's still not working but the other link is. :D
    That might change when the ship starts moving again.
