I'd say yours is on the TORRENS along with chris-p and roders which is due into port Jan 2nd as they were both built around the same time as yours. Actually Roders is in Freo so he'll get his earlier.

But I'm on BOHEME (mine was built Nov 11th - was delayed slightly due to the LWB's but I got them in the end) and is a few days behind consequently.

Ah, you answered my question already. Where do you track them?
Mine has LWB as well but no scaffolding in the back.

Yep sounds like a good start to 2016 for a few of us in Oz. Mine along with Roders is on the Torrens which departed bremerhaven early yesterday morning our time, due into Mel Jan 2. doing a bit of a mini world tour along the way with stops in belgium, UK, Spain and South Africa beforehand. V-GT400 once you have the vessel name you can track the vessel at the link below.

Just put the vessel name in search box in the top right corner and it should give you some info.
Cheers
Chris

Ouch. That is a long wait. I guess anticipation is half the fun.

Sure is. around 38 to 40 days is the normal transit time port to port. Trouble is have just about run out of anticipation given most of us have been waiting since Feb, March. At least we life in a place were we can use them all year round

Everyone speaks pretty highly of Invisible Car bra so I will get a quote from them and another place in Ringwood or Nunawading. Not sure of the name but will let you know. I will PM you my email address and we can compare notes. I have to sort out who I will use for insurance. Previous car was with Porsche insurance so will get a quote from them
