Mine flipped to "In Transit" today (4 weeks to the day after showing "At Port" on November 6th).

I called Genius and the vehicle is supposed to be on the Apollon Highway (Kline) that departed Bremerhaven 9 days ago on 25 Nov and originally scheduled into Brunswick on 12 Dec. According to vesselfinder, it may be running a few days late so probably won't get to Brunswick until around Dec 16th.

So, sounds like the online system doesn't keep track very well. I'm now wondering if the vehicle was actually shipped out of Zeebrugge versus Bremerhaven. That would help explain the timeline from "At Port" to In Transit".

The ships go from Bremerhaven to Zeebrugge usually, so it went to both. The timeline is probably just lag of updates from scans and system slowness due to the holidays.

As for tracking, you'll lose the ship once it's in the Atlantic until it shows up closer to the US (or if you pay for an account/get a trial for GPS tracking).

I understand it went to both but 9 days between departure and the update seemed to be excessive compared to reports from others here. Also, some other members have commented that their vehicle actually shipped out of Zeebrugge versus Bremerhaven.

If the vessel departed Zeebrugge around the end of November or beginning of December then that would line up with the update on December 4th.

In any event, it's all water under the bridge!

There have been people that haven't seen "In Transit" until the boat was 4 days away from docking in the US. Systems can have issues or get stuck sometimes, and it takes manual intervention to fix them. I doubt they do these very quickly so sometimes a system glitch can take a week or more to fix. I suspect something like that occurred.

Man, I would love for that to be the case for me. Waiting since Oct 12.

Looks awesome. Post some interior pics when you have them.

If anyone else here is leasing, did you guys have your rates locked in even after 60 days? Because it's been over 60 days since we agreed on the numbers and placed an order.

Nice! I should be taking delivery of a portimao manual this weekend at fort washington. Looks like you went to thompson?

Donnington is moored in Brunswick right on schedule, SA called this morning and said my car should be at dealership a week from today, best guess. He said no trucking delays he's been aware of, though I'm heading to St. Pete and only 4 hours away

Picked up my car Thursday afternoon and dropped it off at the detailer Friday morning for ppf and ceramic. Will post some better pictures when I get it back this coming week.

Cheers!

Still showing up at Port. Haven't seen a change since 10/20/23. I was really expecting to pickup in Miami from the dealership before xmas. Looks like that won't happen this year.
