For those of you on Orion Highway(the ship that recently picked up lots of M3s/m4s headed to the east coast:

My m3 is on Orions Highway. I called genius and they told me a delivery to Baltimore 1/17. I’ve been tracking the ship online and it was in Brussels for the past 2 days - I suspect Toyotas being picked ip based on the port.

It just left and it looks like it’s gonna arrive in Baltimore Jan 28th. (I paid $11 to future track it)

Happy to post updates here as the ship moves across the Atlantic

Bravo! Well done shipmate!

Here’s a small contribution from my end.

So I was under the assumption its schedule is 17th/18th, for baltimore. Are we sure arrival on baltimore is the 28th?

Thats what I was told, but the ship tracking app(MarineTraffic) says later. I’ll post daily updates.

Website says ETA is 1/15

Orions Highway moving along just south of England.

Looks like Info updated and est arrival of Jan 16th

I have my "collection day" notes I've been making for the last, oh, 10 months. Time to dust them off and get prepped!

Has anyone paid for the tracking of Orion Highway on MarineTraffic? If so, post daily updates??

I got you - just cleared the channel

Not sure the difference between reported ETA and calculated ETA but currently 1/16 to 1/20

Calculated is just straight "if you went in a straight line at X kts how long would it take"

Reported is accounting for stopping time due to things like expected weather, docking times, clearances, etc.

Reported is more accurate IME.

Where’s Orion Highway today?

[Vernmeister]

Still a ways to go

[Vernmeister]

Moving along

Looks like our ship is avoiding the big weather system. Wouldn’t surprise me if it get in later than expected

[Vernmeister]

Looks like Orion highway is heading south to clear this weather system - hopefully heading west soon

Where’s our vessel tonight?

Westward bound! Looks like it’s going into a headwind. Traveling at 13 knots - before it we about 18. Wind and weather may be slowing it

[harperium]

vessel status?

[yeetyeet]

I believe it will be more accurate for a port date of the 20th.

Just paid for a quick update on vesselfinder. $5 for 24hrs, less than favorable but i’ll check again in a couple of days.

Thanks. I’ve been using marine traffic. There was an initial fee of maybe $10 and then they charge $1 for 24 hr tracking. I’ve been re upping every 2-3 days
