Anyone coming in on the Poseidon Leader? - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

TheObviousChild · 11-06-2012, 04:24 PM

Looks like it's currently a day off the US East Coast. I'm in Colorado and expected it to port at Texas in the Gulf, but it turns out it's going through the Panama Canal and around to California. This seems a bit...out of the way. I'm scheduled to take Delivery the very end of Nov or Beginning of December.

I'm pretty sure my 335i convertible is on that ship...I'd hoped it was on the Topeka but my dealer said it's scheduled to be on Port Hueneme on 11/21, which apparently is when the Poseidon is scheduled to arrive. Dangit. I am SO excited to get my car...it's taking forever. It must have sat for at least 2 weeks waiting for ship.

Im there too. Taking delivery in San Diego. I expect pics from you folk when you early xmas presents arrive. But hey, at least if you finance through BMW you get another $1000 holiday incentive.

You'll likely get yours before mine. Mine is coming in through Cali, but has to get to Colorado. 3 more weeks!

JSAvonwussow · 11-11-2012, 07:44 PM

Our ship just showed up again on the tracking system...not even to Panama yet. Booooo.

jamesems · 11-12-2012, 01:42 AM

Someone put some fresh hamsters on the wheel and get that ship moving!!

JSAvonwussow · 11-12-2012, 01:26 PM

It dropped out of range again. Ugh. I was hoping that my car was on the Topeka...no such luck. Dang. We'll be lucky to get our cars by Christmas...depending on how long it takes to get through customs and the VPC.

jamesems · 11-12-2012, 02:16 PM

i bet with the hurricane, there's a glut at customs which could mean there just moving through it asap. The VPC on the other hand......

TheObviousChild · 11-12-2012, 02:52 PM

As it approaches Panama, I figured I'd post this neat webcam site. Not sure any of us will catch it, but take a screenshot if possible!

From an Apple website:

"you can take a screen shot of your entire screen by holding down the Command and Shift keys and pressing a 3"

Those kooky Macs.

jamesems · 11-12-2012, 04:37 PM

Got it. Only hiccup is that the Poseidon is due in at 0500, Dont know if ill be awake. Ha

JSAvonwussow · 11-12-2012, 10:15 PM

Thanks guys! Hopefully we can see it....I keep second (and third) guessing what I ordered. Hopefully I'm still in love with it like I was when I ordered it. I am wishing that I ordered the sport package...oh well. Beggars can't be choosers. Just hurry and get here already...with no scratches!

TheObviousChild · 11-13-2012, 12:08 PM

Ship hasn't reached Panama yet

JSAvonwussow · 11-13-2012, 07:37 PM

We're on the schedule for next week to be in Port Hueneme...

jamesems · 11-13-2012, 11:32 PM

Awesome find on the schedule of Hueneme. AIS just updated showing the Poseidon Leader moored just off Cristobal, Panama awaiting her turn to pass through the locks. She's scheduled for 0400 so I doubt ill catch a pic of her passing through. But by tomorrow she should be in the Pacific.

nano10 · 11-14-2012, 03:06 AM

Based on estimates i am on this boat, or next one to dock in CA. I hope this is it!!! Can somebody send link to enter my VIN and find out if i am on this ship. I dont know what shipping company is using this boat.

Just ask your CA. He can email you everything about your cars build and transport.

TheObviousChild · 11-14-2012, 01:04 PM

looks like we're through the Panama Canal and about half way through Panama.

Unfortunately, you can't track your cargo on NYK Line (which is the Poseidon's company line). But your CA will know for sure if your precious cargo is on the PL or some other ship. If it's with WW, you should be able to track with your VIN...but I've read that they can be weeks behind in updating. Sigh....

We're a WEEK away from being on California land.

nano10 · 11-14-2012, 02:57 PM

Just found out i am on Orchard Ace Mitsui scheduled to dock in CA on 11/29.

TheObviousChild · 11-14-2012, 03:05 PM

Holy shitballs Batman! I just happened to check out the map, saw the locks it was approaching and pulled up the webcam and I can see it!

http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/camera-java.html

It's approaching the Miraflores Locks.

I'll try to get a screenshot.
