Do you know if Bremerhaven is it's next stop?

On the NYK website it does show Selene Leader scheduled to be at Bremerhaven on Nov 8th and arrives at Hueneme on Dec 4th

Not bad! Thanks to the ridiculous weather, Gentle Leader’s arrival seems to have been backed up by almost a week — now scheduled to hit Port Hueneme on Dec. 1 instead of Nov. 25. (Last I checked this evening, it still was hiding out in the English Channel.)

So hopefully you guys get on Selene, and then you’ll arrive on the west coast nearly as soon as if you’d gotten on the earlier ship! 😁

Fingers crossed for the Selene Leader!!

Looks like it's running early - now says:

Bremerhaven, Germany
ETA: Nov 7, 22:00 (in 22 hours)

xaappx · 11-06-2023, 05:45 PM

BTW, was curious, so thought you guys might be interested. Selene Leader can hold 6400 cars! Wow... about 22 million pounds.

NYK Selene Leader is a vehicle carrier built in 2010 by. Shin Kurushima Toyohashi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. It carries up to 6,400 cars and sails at maximum of. 21.8 knots.

That's nuts! (I'd been meaning to look it up myself; just hadn't gotten around to it yet.)

xaappx · 11-07-2023, 03:10 PM

Whoa whoa whoa! My car just updated to In Transit. So it must have gotten on a different ship and just now finally updated (almost a week later?). The Selene Leader isn't even in port yet, so I must be with bimmerCHAOS I should call Genius and find out

xaappx · 11-07-2023, 03:22 PM

Just got off the phone with BMW Genius. My car made it on the Heritage Leader, departed 11/6, and will arrive in California on 12/4.

Who else is on the Heritage Leader?

So odd, because I though that ship left on 11/3.

Awesome -- congrats!!! And your scheduled arrival is only 3 days after mine, given my ship's extended stay in the English Channel this past week.

Awesome dude

I'm so glad my car isn't sitting at the port forever.

Genius said my car left on 11/6, but it looks like Heritage Leader left Bremerhaven on 11/3, and arrived in Zeebrugge, Belgium on 11/4. I guess it didn't get scanned until it left Zeebrugge on 11/6 (although My Garage didn't update until 11/7 PST).

So Genius is likely a few days behind unless if I'm missing something.

I'm still showing as at port and my last call to genius gave me nothing. I've just got my fingers crossed to get out on Selene Leader!

Good luck man, I haven't been following along on that one since I'm now on the Heritage Leader. Is Selene leaving port today?

Scrapula · 11-08-2023, 05:23 PM

Cross posting as mine is a G60 build coming from Dingolfing. Week 44 build and At the Port now waiting for a ship to Port Hueneme. I’m hoping for Garnet Leader or Pleiades Leader, as they both have ETAs of 15-Dec.
Status 150 on 30-Oct
Status 155 on 3-Nov
Status 190 on 6-Nov

I believe Dingolfing builds i4, i5, and i7.

Do you know if they are taking that many? Because of the El Niño water shortage in the Panama Canal, I read that ships are sailing at 50% capacity.

Not disputing what you are you saying but do you have the link. Honestly interested to read further details on that.

Scrapula · 11-08-2023, 06:20 PM

Panama Canal Drought

Her you go

NicolasB · 11-08-2023, 07:46 PM

Ships are not sailing at 50% capacity, the canal itself is only allowing 50% of traffic through.

Towards the end of the article, it specifically said that they were. I was just wondering if that referred to cargo ships and not vehicle carriers.

jl13 · 11-09-2023, 08:59 PM

Any east coast folks? Mine's at the port since 10/25

Scrapula · 11-09-2023, 10:05 PM

Did anyone get on Selene Leader that sailed today?
