If I'm reading this correctly, then the next ships to Galveston from Bremerhaven are:

1. Victoria Highway, Leaves May 8 (today), Arrives May 23
2. Drive Green Highway, Leaves May 20, Arrives June 14
3. Victoria Highway, Leaves June 20, Arrives July 5


My car just got dispatched from factory today after a long time in QC, hopefully it will be able to make the May 20 ship!

(Edit) Note that K-Line Shipping updates their schedules weekly-ish. Drive Green now departs Bremerhaven May 30. Arc Defender is May 20 still.

Thanks! I think the May 20 was just a typo on my part.

3rd week still stuck at the Galveston Port VPC, BMW Genius and CA told me that the car was supposed to arrive yesterday and still no car. At this point, the car has sat longer than it has actually moved. Worst order timeline ever!

Finally “ In transit”

My M440I arrived “At the Port” on Mar 21. Sat there forever. Finally sent a message to BMW Genius on May 7 and it miraculously changed status to “in Transit” on May 9 when they emailed me back. Apparently got onto the Horizon Highway and left port on May 3!! Due in Galveston portion May 19. Now watching and waiting for updates on marinevesseltraffic.com.

Looks like a lot of us focused on the Horizon Highway.
Steady 17kts toward Galveston. ETA - a few hours ahead of schedule LOL

Sat at 112 forever, then, 150-190 went smooth, fast...
Then....waiting for "At the port", and then 3 weeks "collecting dust" at the port.
Was hoping for the fastest ship and got it -- Horizon Highway is hauling ass (May 8-19).
Next...what happens at the Galveston port remains to be seen.

Secretly hoping that will have my car before Memorial Day!

Any chance you can see where the Horizon Highway is in the gulf? I am thinking should be at port sometime today.

It's smack-dab in the middle of the gulf, due south of Baton Rouge. AIS estimates it will be in port in 20 hours.
