Interesting, Heroic Leader wasn't supposed to arrive to Bremenhaven until 4/20. I guess it is early. The question is who else will manage to get on it. I can only hope but my car is at the port from 4/9 so if there is a backlog of cars from the beginning of the month, it may not make it.

The next NYK ship is Wild Rose Leader, leaving on 4/23 and then Asteria Leader, leaving on 4/28.

I got to the port around the same time. Fingers crossed we will manage to get on there also!

Just out of curiosity I checked where Heroic Leader is and it is not in Bremenhaven yet: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9441570

That said, they probably decide which cars will be loaded before it even docks so that is what you are seeing.

Actually, I called a Genius and a) he confirmed you may be marked In transit with a specific ship before it even docks, and b) the At Port status on the website should actually be "At port or compound" and that my car was not scanned at Bremenhaven entry yet. So it is either still traveling to port or not being scanned as being at the port yet.

Does the other guy have M4 maybe he got picked up in Belgium. I can稚 see boat history only that it was in UK last but maybe was in Belgium before that. M3 gets loaded in Germany

Saw the same after I got off phone with him and was pretty confused. He specifically said was picked up on April 17 even though I see that the ship scheduled to be there April 19. Mine is a 25 M4 fwiw.

this is the 2nd "at port". When the boat gets to the US the BMW tracker flips back to "at port". My car left Bremerhaven on March 15th on the Sumire leader RORO ship.
