It added about a month for me. I almost wish I hadn't requested PCD but I have also heard it is well worth it.

It is. And the longer wait makes it all the sweeter.

Today is the day! It does seem quite far from the port, but the ETA hasn't changed so keeping hopes up!

Done PCD and will do it again, it is worth the extra wait IMO. Wish we had Euro delivery again too, since i missed out with my M2CS ……

Besharaf · 09-08-2022, 09:49 AM

It looks so far on the map!

I just saw on shipfix ETA changed to 2 days... Any updates on your side?

You're right, it now says 2 days. It hasn't moved since this morning when I took a screenshot. And why does the ship looks like it's flipped back around. That's kind of weird.

Besharaf · 09-08-2022, 12:05 PM

After a year long wait, I'd imagine it was struck by lightning and the ship is on fire. What a gut punch!

Back on June 22 (~page 2 on this thread), Brooklands slowed down to a 4-knot crawl and started listing southeast towards Africa. Which is pretty weird for a ship to do in the middle of the North Atlantic, and then we see its status is listed as "NUC":

Quote:

“A 'Not Under Command' (NUC) vessel is at the mercy of winds and seas. This not only puts her safety at risk but also the safety of other vessels sailing nearby. This is the reason why she is forced to report her situation”

I seriously felt noxious seeing that. Fortunately, it cleared up after some time and she was back underway. No idea if the captain fell overboard or what, but it was over.

And, likewise, when she approached Virginia Beach, it took the better part of a day to dock in Baltimore harbor. (And then she unmoors and docks in two other spots within the harbor, to offload different types of cargo.)

Bottom line: I know it's hard, but she'll get there. Go for a walk or something. It won't be long now.

I just got my loan too! Maybe I'll swim to it and guide it back to Baltimore

elking129 · 09-08-2022, 08:39 PM

it has been pushed back 2 days, i guess port of Baltimore is busy.

Vector7 · 09-08-2022, 08:51 PM

I just pulled up the K Line schedule on their website and it now says arriving Baltimore on 9/9, leaving on 9/10. Still 9/12 arrival at Brunswick.

Hopefully that's more definitive

DennisLiu9797 · 09-09-2022, 11:04 AM

Any updates on the Brooklands?

It's still sitting there. Time is in Pacific time zone, so ETA would be 18:00 local time.

You're the man, thank you

LuvMyE92 · 09-09-2022, 01:46 PM

I just called the Genius, as I was wondering where my car is. It's not my car yet, as the dealer ordered it for stock but it's considered sold to me. An M550i so you M car guys can laugh at me since it's not a "real" M, but that's OK, since I'm just a poseur anyway...

LOL

I had a G82, so that gives me a little cred, right?

Anyway, GeniusGuy told me that it's on the Brooklands, scheduled to arrive in Brunswick on 9/14.

According to the Brunswick port web site, it's scheduled to arrive in the evening, so us East Coast guys and gals should plan accordingly.

Thank you so much!!

DennisLiu9797 · 09-09-2022, 03:54 PM

Here is the schedule for Port Baltimore. We are the sixth in line. I guess that's because the Chesapeake Bay isn't wide enough for that many vehicle carriers. Hopefully, that is the case. Finger crossed!!!

The Bay is plenty wide enough. It's probably a matter of available berthing spaces at port.
