I assume that it is unusual for ships headed to Davisville to be routed south of Long Island and then through Hell Gate into the Long Island Sound but is it?
Does anyone who tracked the delivery of their cars from Germany to the East Coast recall that their ship took this route?

New ETA. Substantial delay. Athens Highway's ETA is now 10:00 PM (local time) on March 31.
What could have occasioned this day-and-a-half delay?
And, yes, MarineTraffic.com still shows her following the weird course going through the Narrows to the East River and Hell Gate to the L.I. Sound.

See if you can figure out which shipping line owns your boat.
My car is on the Taurus Leader which is owned by NYK Lines (Athens Highway is not). By going to their web site I was able to get a copy of their schedule for the boat, which appears to be updated regularly. See the attachment. This combined with marinetraffic.com paints a pretty good picture of when our ship comes in.

>>Taurus Leader's schedule has slipped - as of 3/26 showing ETA San Diego as 4/10. Rats!<<
Yeah, I noticed that. Apparently the storm that went through New England last weekend had them anchored offshore and slowed them down by a couple of days. Hopeful that they can make some of the time up once they leave Charleston.

Just heard from my SA that my Carrera T made it onboard the Goodwood and its on its way to Houston.
I had misread the VW shipping schedule and thought the first column was the sailing date, when it actually is the ready-for-loading date. So, I thought it had departed when it wasn't even finished loading.
It is funny that 2 years ago my Macan GTS also came onboard the Goodwood. What a coincidence.
So, now it is crossing the English Channel on its way here. If everything goes as planned, I will be posting pic of the delivery on April 16th, almost a month ahead of the original schedule!!!

BTW, Athens Highway ETA to Davisville on March 31st is now 8 pm local time (moved up two hours from 10 pm). Wow, I cannot believe I am tracking this ship to the hour hahaha!
