I hope they didn't put some bikes on board with the Porshes and Volkswagens on that ship which is on fire and adrift off the coast of Portugal.
Well the article I read said it was due to dock in Rhode Island. VW’s, Audi’s and Porsches, but no mention of any BMW’s. Also, wrong port of entry, so my guess is no. But, there probably are a bunch of unhappy people who will not get their cars now.That looks like a different type of ship.
There are several Marine Traffic sites.
This is the one I used. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-12.0/centery:25.0/zoom:4
What's the name of the ship?
The ship CMA CGM TOSCA is scheduled to leave Bremerhaven Germany tomorrow.
Did your dealer give you the Container number?
Here's my notes from this fall when I tracked our bikes from the factory to the Kansas City dealer.
Order and Shipping Details
Ordered two 2022 R1250RS bikes the first week of July.
Built in Berlin Aug 24th and 25th
Dealer emailed me the VIN numbers and the shipping container number.
Bikes arrived at the Bremerhaven Germany docks Sep 7th
I think I got the name of the ship by googling the container number.
The container shipping company was https://www.hamburgsud-line.com/line...ces/index.html
I used a Marine Traffic site to follow the ship and see it docked. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-33.5/centery:30.6/zoom:3
Loaded on ship (MSC Marina) Sep 17
Ship departed Germany Sep 18th
I was able to follow the ship as it left Germany and through the English Channel. I could see the ship location and speed as long it was within 60 miles of land.
When I thought it should be close to the US I paid a one time fee of $0.99 to track the ship by satellite. I saw it was close to Canada and a couple days later I could see it again near Cape Cod on the Marine Traffic site.
The ship arrived at the New York dock without any delays off shore on Sep 28. On the Marine Traffic site I could see the ship was at a dock.
Unloaded from ship Sep 29th
The container tracking site had no new info for a few days
Oct 4 a local trucking company picked up the container and I could now see it on the DHL site https://dhli.dhl.com/dhli-client/publicTracking?1
On the DHL site I select Customer Ref Number and entered the last 7 digits of the VIN (Use Caps)
Same day, Oct 4 the container arrived at the distribution center, Easton, Pa.
The container was unloaded and on Oct 5 our bikes are on a truck .
ETA for arriving in KC is Monday Oct 11th.
Tracking shows the bikes were flown to Kansas City and arrived at airport Oct 7th.
Kansas City dealer received bikes Oct 12, seven weeks after production.
Hello Lee. Thank you for such detailed information. I was given a vessel “VOB” number of H3901 and container number ECMU9933391, but even after getting the Goggle app “Marine Traffic” I am not getting any results. The dealer did confirm the bike is leaving from the port of Bremerhaven and come to NYC.
The Marine Traffic site only deals with the ship, it does not show any container information.
I'll try to google the container number to get the container company and the name of the ship.

Here's a cool map my dealer gave me. I guess BMW has their own tracking system.
