Seems like bunch of people from different weeks are waiting for west coast ships. I think for everyone in the west it is Port Hueneme for POA.

Looks like WW and NYK are boats that head over that way via Panama Canal

Here are some links to schedules and how to see them

NYK RORO shipping:

https://www.nykroro.com/customer/schedules/
- Click on Europe to USA Caribbean and South America (RTW) and that gives the schedule
- Look for ship that has stop at Bremerhaven (or Zeebruddge) and Port Hueneme

WW RORO shipping

https://www.walleniuswilhelmsen.com/schedules
- Departing Port: Bremerhaven (This may vary for M3 vs M4)
- Arrival Port: Port Hueneme
- This will give you list of next several vessels



Hopefully this helps those at the port!
Please report which ships people are getting on as time goes on.

Thanks for starting a West Coast thread. I just flipped to In Transit this morning! (Build week 22 - M3 6MT). I guess this means I'm on the Cassiopeia Leader

Good luck! My wait was surprisingly short looking at some others in the past, so hopefully you'll get on one soon.

That’s so weird to see cars from Week 23 got on the ship and you didn’t.

It's my luck I swear. Especially because I found out my car got the wrong wheels too. I was supposed to have the black 826M, but it got built with bi-color. On all my build sheets it says black, but when the dealership changed it over the xDrive for me (a last minute change), they forgot to switch the wheels back to black (bi-color is default). And no one noticed it until about 2 hours ago when I was going over my build on the tracker. Great day for me so far regarding this car lol

Antares Leader is docked and going to CA. I didn’t see any boats that go to east coast then west. I don’t think that’s route they do.

Then Carmen comes in on the 24th and goes to Cali too. I'm really hoping you and I get on either one of them. Preferably Antares lol

Matte black. I was going for a "stealth" build. So obviously wheels that have a silver face to them aren't exactly what I want lol

Yea if u going for stealth for sure not ideal. I guess u could go just get them coated. Unless dealer willing to swap them out since they will be new.
