Port of Exit Zeebrugge Belgium

Just got an email from my CA that my car is finally in transit after waiting at the port for about 12 days. The screenshot he provided showed port of exit as Zeebrugge Belgium as opposed to Bremerhaven Germany which is where most BMWs leave port (Exit port).

Any one also have exit port as Zeebrugge? Vessel is set to arrive in Port Hueneme, CA on Jan 20, a month long journey.

My M550 was loaded in Zeebrugge, Belgium to an NYK Lines (Japanese) carrier. The ship then proceeded to Antwerp, Emden (Ger), Bremerhaven and finally Southampton. Next stop Port Hueneme on 1/5/21 (will traverse Panama Canal on Christmas day). The vessel recently sailed past the Morroccan coast. NYK travels RTW in westerly direction and is probably dropping Japanese cars in all these European ports.

Good to know. Yeah, mine was also loaded on an NYK Line (Virgo Leader). It's the same route as your vessel, Zeebrugge port of exit, Emden, South Hampton, Bremerhaven, 3 stops in Colombia/Panama then finally to Port Hueneme on 1/20/20. Perhaps the pandemic has caused congestion to ports in Europe so logistics is diverting some cars to other ports for port of exit.

Nice, you'll get your M550 sooner than me.

Our M550 was picked up in Zeebrugge on 12/4 (Rhea Leader) so it's a 32 day voyage. We returned our 2018 M550 lease four days ago and my wife is already getting anxious.
