The BOL for Halifax bound cars are available on WW’s website.
As we suspected, it is AEA43903.
You can confirm your car’s on board status with VIN on WW’s website with that BOL now.

In WW’s case
First digit: prefix A
Second-6th digit: Ship code (EA439 for Titus)
7th-8th digit: port assignment. For 1st stop/batch for 01, 2nd stop/batch for 02 and 3rd stop/batch for 03.

So most likely, the BOL number for the Halifax stop will be AEA43903.

I don’t think this trick works for one’s going To the U.S.. I tried AED41701 for a ship going from Bremmer Haven to Baltimore, but it did not work.

It looks like that ship has already departed from Baltimore. I've never tried to use this lookup after a ship has departed the destination port, so maybe that's the issue? I'm not sure, but I've used this successfully for US bound ships to NY, so it should work for US.

It should work for the US as well.
However, the shipper nullifies the BOL as soon as the route is done. If they don’t, as you can imagine, there will be 100’s if not 1000’s of BOL will come up.
So if the ship gets to the destination, the BOL number will not work until the same ship’s same route for the next time.

Not sure what’s up but it worked for another ship that went to Halifax that arrived on the 20th. But it did not work for a ship. Going to Baltimore that left two days ago. I’ll try again, but I don’t get it.

I was just playing around some of the other ships and sometimes it works in often it doesn’t. Wish I knew why.

I also am in transit… Polaris Highway, due to land at Brunswick on the 8th.

Anyone know for sure if the folks who unload the vehicle carriers are longshoremen and striking? Sounds like big potential strike starting Oct 1st…

Yes they do. If the strike happens any car coming east coast or Texas will be significantly delayed. Other North American ports will likely be delayed as well due to increased traffic/mayhem.

Besides a hurricane or two coming through.

Such unfortunate timing. Having to delay an extra 3 weeks from the annual break and then now possibly being caught in the crossfire of the longshoreman strikes

Guess it's time for me to join the party from across the pond!

UK order placed last week of July, was told to expect delivery Oct-Nov, maybe even into Dec. Had no sign of any progress or true allocation until yesterday (24th Sept) when my dealer called to let me know we now have a VIN and to expect build to start end of Oct. I expected to end up in the build week 44 thread.

I followed up by speaking to Genius online chat today to be told build was in fact completed 13/9 and is currently at status 193 at the UK port (confused as I thought 193 was the port of exit?). The app also seems to prove that the dealer has fallen behind. Genius is estimating that week 44 will be delivery week.

Happy that something was happening during the 2 months of silence, but a shame that I missed out on being glued to the app to watch the progress whilst it was being built

Just curious, for Canada customers, once the car arrives at Halifax port, how long does it typically take before it’s loaded onto a truck for transport? And how long is the travel time from port to Vaughan? Or does it end up sitting at Halifax port for 1-2 months like they do at Bremerhaven?

Based on my experience of 3 previous orders, it took around 3 weeks to dealerships in Alberta once it gets off the boat at Halifax. And I have been told by my friends and relatives it was around 2 weeks to GTA.
