Wow. This is great information that'll help everyone. Thanks for posting.

I checked your BOL number for my VIN but unfortunately, mine is not on the Asian Vision. I'm hoping its on the Asian Captain which is then next scheduled WW sailing to Halifax. The BOL has not been posted yet as it doesn't sail until Nov 14, so I'll have to wait until then.

Congrats on your new vehicle and I hope you get it soon after it lands.

 

Hi everyone, I am able to track my iX on a ship that left Bremerhaven and is scheduled to arrive in Halifax on Nov 5th. The shipping company is Wallenius Wilhelmsen. If you go to track and trace on the website(Track and trace - Cargo tracking - Wallenius Wilhelmsen) you can type the BOL number. My BOL number is AEA24303. If you type that all the VINs of the loaded vehicles pop up and you can search your VIN there. This is how you can figure out the BOL number: All ships coming to North America starts with “A” The next 5 letters are the vessel number (you can find this info on the WW website under schedules. My ship is Asian Vision with a vessel no EA243) The last 2 digits are destination so for USA is “01” at the end and for Halifax is “03” at the end so if you add all that together you get A + EA243 + 03 (for Halifax) A + EA243 + 01 (for US) Once you have the BOL number and confirmation that your vehicle is on the ship then you can track the ship live on the ocean via the following website. Live AIS Vessel Tracker with Ship and Port Database(you can create a free account and track your ship live) try and see if it works for your vehicle. Mine is docking in Halifax on Nov 5th. The dealership told me sometimes they bring over the vehicles from Halifax via truck all the way to Toronto. apparently it’s more expensive but is super fast and reaches Toronto in a day. I’ll keep you all updated if I get any additional info. hope this helps

Thank you, the information is great. Where did you get the information about the BOL number? I need the BOL from Charleston to Bremerhaven with the Toronto. It is currently also in Bremerhaven. According to WW, the trip has the NA240. But I'm missing the first letter and the last two digits?

 

Hi, I only know how to figure out BOL Number for vehicles coming towards North America from Bremerhaven. Unfortunately your ship is going back to Bremerhaven, honestly I have no idea what the starting letter could be. Sorry

Hi Sonia, Thanks for the BOL number method! However, I was trying to track the ship the set sailing on Nov 14 and Nov 17 but it shows "no record found". Do you know if it only shows once the ship arrives and discharged? Thanks!

 

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I can only find descriptions from Bremerhaven but not to Bremerhaven. Apparently the Europeans don't care when the X models come

 

I believe it's either asian captain(ea244) which set sails on nov 14 or don quijote(ea245) which set sails on nov 17. Destination should be in halifax cuz I'm from Vancouver

According to your instructions, the BOL number should be either AEA24403 or AEA24503.

 

Interesting, I just checked “AEA24401” seems to be working. None of the other combinations are showing no record. Maybe you can check the above BOL to see if your vehicle is on that ship. Honestly I have no idea why others are not showing

 

I'm on the Asian captain too and have been tracking it since it left Germany. The ship is on a very southern track and does not look like its going to Halifax.

Could be stormy weather there and trying to go around it. Definitely will be going to Halifax according to the schedule.

 

I'm a pilot so the first thing I checked was the weather.. Something still seems off about the track.

 

This is very helpful. Does anyone know what the Baltimore destination number is.
Thanks

Try AEA24401. That will show the list of vins loaded at Bremerhaven.

 

AEA24502 is working now to Halifax and AEA24501 to US

 

Oh WOW I found my car in this hahaha ty for the update

 

Is the US a Baltimore destination or somewhere else?

 

To Halifax then to NY and Brunswick

 

Something very strange is happening with the Asian Captain. It pulled in the Halifax, and immediately pulled out. It's just kind of wandering aimlessly about 40 miles off shore.

 

Anyone get this to work recently? I've tried plugging in the information for the last two ships that left and upcoming ship as described, but I cannot get anything to load.

 

I wasn't able to find mine as well. I'm tracking morning Charlotte bound to Halifax. BOL no AEA24801 works for US bound vehicles but couldn't see any records for vehicles bound to Canada. I've tried all combinations for the last two digits from 02 till 10

 

Schedule for those interested

 

I'm having no luck with BOL numbers of either the ASIAN CAPTAIN or ASIAN DYNASTY, both currently sailing off Portsmouth UK heading to Brunswick, GA and Halifax NS respectively.

 

Received confirmation from the Genius yesterday that my iX is in transit on the HAWAIIAN HIGHWAY. The shipping company is NOT Wallenius Wilhelmsen, but I don't know anything else other than its scheduled to arrive on 1/16 in Brunswick, GA. Guess its taking the scenic tour?

 

For anyone wondering, ships named <something> Highway are K-Line. Schedules can be found at www*klineglobalroro*com.

 

My iX is waiting at Bremerhaven since December 16 to be shipped to the West Coast. Think the next ship will be the NYK Auriga Leader. Does anyone know how I can find the BOL for my car and or if it's going to be in that ship or an other one ? Thanks

 

I'm not an expert, but I've only seen shipping from Wallenius Wilhelmsen being able to get the BOL code. I tried searching as you but finally my status was updated to in transit and at that point the Genius was able to give me ship and ETA details.

 

My iX is crossing the Atlantic as I write. I share your frustration trying to figure what ship it may be on... well I did until 9 days ago. FWIW I found the "My Garage" update to in transit to be quite timely. When you see that, a call to the genius should confirm. My car is shipping by a lesser used carrier. Patience is all I can say.... Hopefully it will be a worthwhile wait for us all!

 

It is frustrating for sure, especially for us West Coast folks. There’s far fewer ships so the wait between ships is relatively long. I also observed that for a few folks on here, My Garage updated to “In Transit” the same day the ship left the dock. If that’s the norm, then the next ship West Coast bound isn’t until Jan 19 😭 (looking at schedules for Wallenius, Kline, and NYK which are the only carriers BMW uses, that I know of)

 

Just to be clear if you're referring to me, my iX shipped out of Bremerhaven, then to Southampton UK, then Zeebrugged. AFAIK, limited knowledge to be sure, all of our BMW's leave out of Bremerhaven. I assume my ship had a load to deliver in Southampton and picked up a few cars there too, then went to Zeebrugge to offload and likely pick up some new cars to fill the load. Makes sense for the shippers, just adds several days for us :-(

 

Not you, someone else in a different thread from October I think

 

So I am using this technique to track my 2025 MINI Countryman. Appears that the 01 suffix is for BMW rather than a USA port destination. Using the 01 suffix for BOL, my VIN did not appear in the list despite the destination being the NYC port and confirmation that my car was indeed on this vessel. I changed the suffix to 02 and a different batch of VINs were displayed, including mine. So I surmise that the suffix may be related to the manufacturer rather than the destination country.
