Hey, after 4wks waiting in a port my baby seems to be on the boat!

This is info I have from dealer:
Vessel: Auto Energy
Voyage #: ATL22063
X-ref #: 22348-01

1. Anyone on a same boat?

2. And anyone has advise which tracker should I use? Im confused a little but as the only ship Insee is going to Spain. Dealer said it has to be that one as they may be dropping of or picking up some cars, but numbers are not matching.

I need someone smarter then me

I'm on there. Are you east coast or west coast? Here's a tracker.

I am on this ship as well. It looks like this ship is just for short hauls around Europe. I THINK it will unload the cars in Spain and then load them onto another ship, bound for the US.

This has not been corroborated by BMW or my CA, just my assessment based on looking at the UECC website, etc.

I suspect same. Im from
colorado and was told my car will be delivered through California, west cost.

Interesting. Hadn't thought about that. Hope you're right.

Yes I'm on this same boat. I posted this in week 32. I am supposed to be going to Brunswick by am taking the slow way there. If you a south east US delivery than this sort of sucks but is what it is. Going to California and then getting transported all the across country… arriving in Cali on oct.15th..

"So the genius called me back after doing some investigating and basically it sounds like BMW made the decision to put cars on this boat they really don't use in order to keep things moving due to issues at port. 39 days for an oct.15th arrival at port hueneme is correct…😔. If you're on that boat and bound for an east coast port than they will either continue on a boat that way or send cars by train or something. That will likely add weeks… going to port at Brunswick was supposed to be less of a head ache…! Their system isn't setup for this alternate boat so it looked confusing to the genius at first. Im looking at loading on a vessel on sept. 6th and arriving to my dealer in possibly November at this point. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come for future week builds"

Im on it was well. I have no idea why given I am East Coast.

Is your car supposed to be bound for a southeastern port? (I'm supposed to be Brunswick) I'm wondering if they don't have any bound for Brunswick in a while. It's just bizarre.

I was loaded on this ship as well. My CA gave me the exact info that OP posted. Stats for reference: West coast (LA) bound car, BW31/32. Original prod date of 8/5, stuck in QC and dispatched from factory on 8/12. At port since 8/15, total time of 26 days at port.

To track ship location, I like using https://www.myshiptracking.com/ and search vessel "auto energy" for a live map view. This site's live maps was quite useful on tracking ships coming into and out of Bremerhaven/Zeebrugge ports.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out as this is the first time I've heard all US region (east, west, south) bound cars get loaded onto a ship together. The theory that cars would ger dropped off at Barcelona, Spain made sense until I checked NYK and WW schedules; none have any voyages out towards Barcelona. I've tried following UECC's schedule and it makes no sense to me. The ship is scheduled to arrive on Barcelona on 9/17 with no other port stops until 10/4 (Vigo), 10/7 (Zeebrugge) and 10/10 (Bremerhaven). The only NYK vessel schedule headed for Spain is Cassemius Leader with ETA to Vigo on 10/14. Assuming we get picked up there, ETA on that vessel to Port Hueneme is 11/17. By that estimation how can we expect to hit Port Hueneme by 10/15? Thoughts?? :

[DVG 335]

Per the UECC schedule, it looks like there is one more (yet to be named) stop after Barcelona. It looks like it is scheduled for the day after (as of now anyway), so it can't be too far away. Maybe Vigo?

Not that I know of. This vessel has a few stops along the way. It hits up Barcelona in a couple of days, then goes from there. I was by my CA at BMW that its heading to the CA port. Which is mind blowing since the dealer location is in TN.

Sigh...

Hello Voyage-Mates, I too am on this ship. I got to port on 8/13 and my car is headed to the west coast. Final destination North Idaho.

Yeah it's crazy. My dealer is in SC…

My car is on the same boat ETA 10/15 which my M550iX is on. the internal server on this boat shows It should be on schedule as of now it only shows a stop in Spain. After that it should be on track to Oxnard port and distributed from there. Down below is info on the boat it is on.
Voyage No.: ATL22063

Thanks! Seems like few of us will be happy in … still few weeks but at least we are not seating in a port dock waiting for miracle to happen 😁

Lets post every few days where the ship is 😂

Just curious, how did you decipher and get this info?

Your CA should be able to send you this info. Mine did.

The weirdest thing about this vessel is that there an eta of 10/15 at Port Hueneme within BMW's internal server. And yes, we are all getting this info fed to us from our CA's and Genius, but upon checking UECC's shipping schedule there is no mention of Port Hueneme at all. The upcoming stops within the schedule for Auto Energy are all within Europe (Vigo, Bremerhaven, etc). I took a screenshot of their shipping schedule for y'all to reference, keep in mind shipping schedules are planned weeks if not months in advance. If you check UECC's website they are a short sea (Europe Only) vehicle transporter as well. Here is a link to their routes:

Yeah as someone else said, I think we're going to get offloaded in Barcelona and loaded onto another ship. Hopefully two, one bound for east coast, and one for west.

I work for BMW

[samsm550]

I see this all the time it will eventually populate, the boats are typically within 7 days before or after the ETA Date. Everyone in Southern California should receive their cars about a week of the landing date at the latest as long as they process them quickly in Oxnard. They make sold cars priority because they want the units to move. Make sure you dealers all put your names and mark them as sold on the internal BMW server that way they will be first to be processed and released to a shipping company. One more month!
