My car was built April 14, at Emden on May 4. I traced it on the Paradise Ace across the Atlantic. It arrived at Brunswick Georgia on May 10 and was at the dealer on May 21.
Get the ship name and you can trace it thru: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/

It looks like only some of them are based in the Atlantic... Majority looks like they're based in the Pacific

I added all the Ace ships to my fleet on marinetraffic.com. This way when it ships I can easily see which one just left Emden.

If it got to Emden on 6/19, then it will probably be on a ship which will depart about 7 days from then (look for ships leaving 6/26 - it can take a week to process in port before the ship leaves). Then it'll be 8-14 days on the ocean, then once it docks at the US port in Davisville, RI, it will be about 7 days to clear customs. Then a day or two to reach your dealer.

I know the waiting part is the toughest. I took delivery in Europe, so I was even able to enjoy my car before handing it off to to be shipped over here. I'm down to the last few days and I swear time is slowing down.

My car left port Emden on June 17. I think it's on the onyx ace because it also left on the 17th and is arriving in Halifax on the 24 th. My car is about 2 wks ahead of schedule.

Interesting. There might be a chance I'll be on that Tianjin Highway. Thanks again.

If you haven't seen this video yet, it will give you some idea about the transport of your car:

DiscoveryChannel, Mighty.Ships, S01E01, Faust.2008, 720p, FUll Episode

check it on you tube.
