What shipping lines are used to transport G20s to the US?

For those of you who have received a car that was ordered, what shipping line was used? I know Wallenius Wilhemsen is one, are there others? Thanks!

Mine was shipped on KLine (www.kline.com)

This is a good thread for other shipping and tracking information: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1181156

Your CA can give you the name of the ship and expected VPC arrival date.

Thanks for that. I have an email in to him. Would he know more than the genius hotline? Status shows at the port since last Friday.

I'm in the same boat.... possibly, and hopefully, literally. At port, boat left last night. I know it takes a few days to update tracking, so hopefully get word in next 48 hours if it made it onto the Thalatta.

Typically dealer DCS will show the ship name 1 business day after ship departs Bremerhaven. Sometimes things happen where the flow of transport data becomes delayed.

I gave up trying to figure the path ... I thought I'd be on one of two ships last week ... both were heading to Baltimore. In fact the only two that were heading west that could make it Baltimore within the time frame the dealership told me I would receive it) ... I ended up on a ship going to Spain first which originally was its last destination then on its departure in Spain Baltimore was added to its literary so who knows ... I haven't seen anyone really arrive at port on the weekend they leave but I do hope I'm wrong. Ive found that the genius and SA both have the same info and is pretty accurate I'd say 24hrs lag tops (my experience of course ... just ask the dealership to look at a Vehicle inquiry report.

Garage List
I just had the status on mygarage updated to In Transit - when I called the BMW Genius line they referred me to Customer Service. Customer Service told me my car is on the "Morning Charlotte" which arrived in Bremerhaven on 8/16/2019, so it took ~3 days to update on the website.

Not sure what shipping company it is - Looks like Eukor? That isn't one of the ones mentioned on the Guide to Ordering Post, but maybe it is outdated.

ETA in Baltimore is 8/26/2019.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing that. Just checked my garage, still at the port. Will check with the genius when the world wakes up. (Or at least I do..)

Just watched the Demeter Leader go through the Miraflores lock on the Panama Canal. Very cool knowing my car is now going to be on the home stretch!
