When you look at the shipping lines it is not just 2W that run across the pond

K lines have a weekly shuttle running to Bremerhaven and Southampton from charleston

It is entirely possible that the reason our cars are not showing up on the 2W tracker is because they are on K line ships

But then I really don't know ! And as long as they haven't fitted a giant snorkel to it and are driving it across I don't mind !

Somewhere it was mentioned that K lines were an alternative shipper. They also seem much faster than 2W. March/April schedules show K line times from Charleston to Southampton (via Bremerhaven) are 13 to 16 days, compared with 2W of 16 to 35 days.

Quite likely they use 2W as the standard shipping line because of lower cost (?), and K lines as an over-flow. This may explain why some cars have sat 3 weeks at the terminal, as they try to utilise cheaper shipping costs.

Still no sign of on mine on 2W tracker though it was produced on 9th March – WK 11.

Just got a confirmation this morning from my dealer that my car is on the vessel "Honor".
He says my car will be at his place within the next 10 days

On a run from Leeds to Poisson d'Avril today and I've just seen a convoy of 4, possibly 5, car transporters full of X3s on the M3. Most of them were Melbourne red...
