Default Desperately......Polaris Leader

Finally got the name of the ship mine is on. I can't seem to get any detailed information. Anyone else on this ship?

BTW mine has Michelins.

Armbar - I'm on Polaris Leader too.
Do a search of this forum on how to track the ship -it's simple.
Right now it's almost Atlantic just southwest of the Azores at 15.2KN. In 5 days it will moor,in San Juan PR for about 24 hours before going through the Panama Canal, then up the coast for 8 days to San Diego.

Hi Bruno,

I was able to get some info, but not as much as you provided. Thank you.

Mundman,

I was looking at Marinetraffic.com, Fleetmon seems to be a little more friendly. Thank you.

Fleetmon is what I use. You can purchase credits so you can utilize the AIS Satellite to track it. High likelihood you are OCD like the rest of us, so buy $50 worth of credits - if you check position once a day you will use all of it by the time it gets to San Diego...it's actually pretty cool to track it through the Panama Canal. Just do it!

$50.00?? Why would I do that when we're such good friends now?

That thought did occur to me when I was typing my first response to you!

It starts at $16USD for 100 credits. One AIS track will cost 19 so you can check 5 times for $16

Looks like mine is on this boat as well. I'm getting an ETA of around Thanksgiving (arriving at CA dealership). Are you guys hearing the same?

Tough to say, but seems possible it might arrive in San Diego a day or two earlier than scheduled 11/21. Based on feedback from others, expect 7-10 days before it arrives at dealership but varies based on proximity to port. My dealer is in the LA area, so transport should be pretty quick, but I'm thinking 1st week of December to be safe.

The ship that arrived in San Diego on 9/02/14 released the cars for transport in only three days. I have a C2S on board the Polaris Leader. I hope the same customs folks are working when our cars arrive around the scheduled arrival on 11/21.

Polaris Leader scheduled to arrive in San Juan, Puerto Rico tonight around (Thursday) midnight. Tropical storm is dumping heavy rains and thunderstorms on Thursday and Friday. Hopefully that will dampen shore leave and they will only make a brief stop before heading to the Panama Canal!
