    Correct me if I am wrong. The Cetus Leader ships between Japan and New Jersey with Prii. The map below shows it under way.

    Is that a series diesel-electric-propeller hybrid or do the diesels drive the props directly?

    Thanks,

    I did not realize Toyota shipped directly to the East Coast. Are any vehicles shipped to the West Coast and then sent via ground to the East Coast?

    i don't think so. iirc, they stop at florida, and new jersey, and get trucked from there.

    ...Don't know...that's a clean machine..cleaner than what I was expecting, but excepting the big pistons on Steamboat Nachez in N'Awlins, I have never really seen an engine room. One wonders how many gallons of diesel it takes to get a Prius to us (perish the thought)

    NJ entry is why some new 2012's Prii on the docks were damaged in Sandy.

    Thanks. So perhaps my Prius 3-ATP is on this same boat (the dealer mentioned a 4-Jan date, which may have been the departure from Japan). Anyone know the typical travel times to the East Coast for this vessel?

    I think this is the URL to track this vessel, for those interested.

    CETUS LEADER - Vehicles Carrier: current position and details | IMO 9291133, MMSI 371563000, Callsign 3EDF2 | Registered in Panama | AIS Marine Traffic

    The previous posted link seemed to have stale data (from 22-Dec, the departure date from Japan). The current position (according to marinetraffic.com) is "out of range", although the Lat/Long indicates West Coast Central America.

    Nope. I am curious to compare purchase dates with the mfg-date sticker in the door.

    an acquaintance bought a bmw a few years back, and after owning it for one year, blew a tyre. the closest replacement was in cali, and $1,200. plus shipping. car was sidelined for 10 days.

    I've done like 12 drive bys at 3 dealers... When they see me, they will probably add $1000 to my MSRP... All 3 Midwest dealers told me they were scheduled to arrive on the 11th... :rolleyes:

    Apparently there are a lot of ships used to carry Toyota vehicles to the US (and elsewhere) see the thread below.

    Based on the data in the (Car Carrier Ship tracking) thread below it looks like it takes on the order of 5 days to reach Jacksonville FL from the Panama Canal and 2-3 days to reach NJ from Jacksonville. The Cetus Leader is scheduled to reach Panama on 13-January (departed Japan 22-Dec) according to Ships Map - Vessel Tracking & AIS Positions Map | AIS Marine Traffic.

    I just checked with my NJ dealer and my vehicle (Prius 3-ATP) arrived (port of Newark) on Monday. Now I am awaiting the delivery to the dealer from the port. Hopefully sometime next week.

    There is a silver 2016 Prius Three in NYC at Queensboro Toyota. It was on the showroom floor yesterday.
