I also want to do PPF and ceramic, but as you, not sure where to do it. There’s a Houston thread, but haven’t seen much info on this yet. This is the link:

If any of our cars got onto Morning Courier, our status should change to "In Transit" within the next two days. Please post here if you status changes to "In Transit". My car status has not changed; still "At the Port".

Mine just changed to 'At the Port' this morning so doubt mine made it on Morning Courier. Looks like Patriot might be my best bet.

Looks like "K" Line has made most of the car deliveries for BMW from Germany to Galveston, with Wallenius Wilhelmsen a very distant second.

https://www.importinfo.com/search/ma...ee=&commodity=

The next "K" Line vessel from Bremerhaven to Galveston is Horizon Highway departing on Feb 22 and arriving to Galveston on March 9. After that it's Sirius Highway Mar 3 to March 18.

I think our next best bet is the Horizon Highway on Feb 22 (see my rationale on my previous post above). Nevertheless, I’m still hopeful we can get onto the Patriot tomorrow! Fingers crossed.

It can take up to 2 days for the status to update to "In Transit". I don't think Genius has any better info than what you see in My Garage.

Anyone seeing any movement here?

I'm not seeing anything change but I'm starting to become numb to it as my G80 has been in QC / Port for…well, seems like forever.

Not much going on. Patriot left yesterday, Green Ridge is supposed to leave on Sunday, but it's highly unlikely we'll be on that vessel. Then Arc Defender on Feb 18. However, the most likely scenario is Horizon Highway on Feb 22 arriving Galveston on March 9.

I've been at the port since Feb 2. 2-3 weeks seems to be the norm these days (if your car doesn't have any stop sales). I'm hoping to get onto Horizon Highway on Feb 22.

Darcy said about 2-3 weeks in Germany then another couple on the boat. Then anywhere from 4 days to infinity if you have stop sales. They do the RAM and PMA at the VPC tho.

Correct. At the beginning of this thread I posted a table with the vessels coming to Galveston and the length of time each one takes to get here from Bremerhaven. Departure and arrival dates have changed a little for some of those trips, but not much (1-2 days).

Green Ridge departure got moved to Feb 18. Arc Defender is the next carrier coming to Galveston. Departs Bremerhaven on Feb 18 and should arrive to Galveston on March 15.

That's actually sooner that Green Ridge arrival, so let's hope we get on that one.
