Here are some VINs that have been loaded onto a boat

Mine was not one of them. Now there is not another one until 3/01.

This really bites.

Okay wait - there's some hope man!!!! I just noticed that the most recent date is 1/22. The boat headed for California was scheduled to leave today 1/24. Perhaps they have not updated their database that is queried via the online site - surely they have loaded cars in the last few days! I'm holding out hope... (aka living in denial)

Give it until the 27th or 28th, if we're on that ship, it should be listed by then. Also, if we are indeed on that ship, your CA is probably able to tell you so tomorrow

Perhaps this will ease your mind some more even, it seems they're currently (still) loading the Tortugas. I took this screen capture at 11:20 AM local time in Bremerhaven

Check the site today, still not showing my specific car yet but I was able to confirm that the Tortugas has sailed - showed up in Red on the site (which it said means it has sailed)

Can't wait to see if you are on it.

Check with your CA. Two guys so far are on Tortugas but the site says no, the 800 number says no, and tracking the VIN in the shipping site shows nothing. I have an email out to my CA. Ended production Feb 15 - should be on Tortugas!!

no this is a West Coast bound ship, with some stops in Europe. It is currently ported in PORT ZEEBRUGGE in Belgium.

Just called the 1-800 number and it said my car is at the port awaiting a shipping vessel but no shipping information was available at this time. @#$%#@%(*#

Wish I was on the f----ing Tortugas. Any idea when and which ship is next up?

I get the same message still but my CA already confirmed I am indeed on the Tortugas (he send me a screen capture by email). So, who knows, you might be on it as well

Guess we should make a Tortugas thread as well in this case
