Same sooooo excited! Sadly mine won't be seeing snow so here in Chicago I'll be driving home and enjoying any time with it I can before they lay the salt down then I'll be in the M550 until Spring. Think I'll be spending a bit of time in the garage this winter.

My daily driver wont be in for another month or so, so I will unfortunately have to drive the M3 in the meantime. Hopefully no salt or anything as we typically dont get much snow til January - February.

Not sure about the 7:00 pm EST arrival estimate... I think that day of spinning in the English Channel delayed us a day. May be the middle of the night tonight?

Yeah, FleetMon's estimate is off. You're probably right, going by MarineTraffic's update they're saying 2022-11-15 00:01:00 UTC. That's around 8pm EST. Kline tracking page shows 14-Nov-2022 19:00 for Estimated Arrival. We'll just have to wait and see.

Very relieving to see us in the Chesapeake cruising north. I will wake up in the morning and it should be at port! What a journey.

Urgh, sadly I was hoping the same as you considering the original ETA for this ship was for it to arrive on Sunday. Sadly as of this morning we are greeted with it being anchored right outside the port with what looks to be 8 ships ahead of it waiting to be unloaded. Looks like were in some kind of waiting queue now... who knows how long at this point.

Yep, looks like lots of congestion here as well. We’re atleast another day closer. Baltimore is an extremely busy port so I’m not surprised

Yeah, there are a few RORO car carriers docked at port so it's probably going to stay anchored and waiting till one of those RORO docks frees up.

Fortunately it's the only car carrier in the cluster of ships waiting in queue. So hopefully the wait is only going to be a day or maybe less.

Good info! Which docks in the port are the RORO docks? Tried to determine from hoving over some dots in the port but was unable to figure it out. Thanks!

Oh that is the glimmer of hope I needed this morning.

I'd guess it's the docks that have RORO ships right now.

[Krisp97]

I see a few RORO's in the port, Firmanent Ace looks to be the one that should leave soonest. There is also Arc Integrity right by it, as well as Prestige Ace across the bay. They are right north of I-695, two of those three are on the right side at Dundalk.

In the last 3 minutes the Orion Highway is moving at 10+ knots and is passing the fleet of ancor'ed vessels... lets all hope that was our final delay!

Yeah, seeing the same.... let's go!

[Krisp97]

I was hoping to be the first on here to spread the good news lol. Been watching this intently while work has been slow. Lets get to port and offloaded

[Krisp97]

Firmanent Ace appears to be moving out now, sort of as I predicted! We will see if Orion goes in the same spot.

One question though, are the cars going to get offloaded at Baltimore, or Brunswick? In my case, I am in Florida, but I imagine they offload them all in one place?

I guess it depends on where you are going? I cant remember if Orion Highway was going to Brunswick afterwards, if so and you are in FL, you would be going to Brunswick. I am Ohio so I will be getting off at Baltimore

FYI, there are usually 3 stops in BAL port. So it goes in a pattern. Here is the link below. Sparrows point is where the BMW are unloaded and its the first stop

Thanks for the info! Hopefully, it gets on its way to Brunswick asap, can't wait to get the car.

Wow most useful, I thought we were headed deeper into the port as on the maps sparrows point looks to be just construction, looks like that's where we get off though! Looks like we will be docked in the next 30 minutes or so...
