Takes time to process. And depends on how many cars they have coming, aka how fast a carrier is assigned to take the vehicles.

Mines going to the same one and has been sitting in port since November 22nd. What build week were you if you don’t mind me asking? They have told me multiple times that there was two from the same batch they were waiting on and that one was left behind was because its windshield was pulled. But wasn’t mine. But now makes it seem like it was mine since it’s been left behind and I’m still waiting

Unless something has changed, she's at the wrong dock. Likely will move soon. It needs to be where I put the star. The BMW processing center is where I circled.

Same thing happened to me in November. Must have been a ship in the way when she came in.

The second image shows where the ship will need to be, and where the BMW lot is. I believe the WWL Vehicle services is where the processing is done. The goofy icon on the right is the location of the web cam where you can see the dock.

Almost there guys!

Haha, sorry pal. Just didn't want you to be upset when you didn't get that status changed back to "at port".

Not necessarily a bad thing.

There is not a Vessel docked at the area that Needsdecaf highlighted earlier. Not saying it isn't the right location but there may be a change or a reason why it is not there. Typically it would be because of another Vessel, but if it's open why is it not there? Has something changed?!?! Time will tell.

Clearly, someone need to fly a drone over and find out if it's offloading. Alternatively, just re-task a satellite; totally justified!

Yeah, who knows. I could always be wrong? It happens. Maybe people are ripping down Harborside Drive to the VPC in your car right now.....

Well I called BMW Genius, he informed me that the Vessel was not yet docked and I should call later as they get a number of updates a day. Could be they don't have the latest info, or could be because it hasn't actually docked at the correct Berth yet as noted above.
