Insight needed

My new vehicle was built in South Africa wk14. It is now being transported in what appears to be geological time, towards the uk. My dealer can’t explain why, as they have now received other X3’s built in the same week.

After being built, it sat in a ‘field’ for weeks, before being dispatch on the Galaxy Ace from Durban last Wednesday. This ship is scheduled to dock at Vigo on the Spanish northern coast next Monday.

Does anyone know whether this ship will continue to Southampton or will my car be offloaded for onward travel on another ship or by road/rail through Europe?

This is SO frustrating!!!:mad0260 :

Well, i don't know if its helpful but Galaxy Ace that departed from Durban last Wednesday (which also carries my new X3 2.0i built in Rosslyn) is supposed to reach Vigo on 31/5, Bremerhaven on 3/6, Zeebrugge on 5/6 and Southampton eastern docs on 6/5 (according to voyage 0049A details you can find on www.molroro.com.

Hi DagaM,
Thanks for the info. Let’s both hope it isn’t another Tricolor!
