Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

[Corey_R]

Unless what RknRob meant was that his car was a "dealer swap" with a Perth dealership. In which case, it will get unloaded in Perth and then be transfered by truck/train to his Brisbane dealer....


Edit.. heh, posting at the same time.
I'll leave this here anyway since some people do purchase cars from interstate and this is the situation which occurs in that case...

Will float the whole way to Brisbane arriving on the 24 April at this stage.

Are you sure? If the ship manifest says it will be unloaded at fremantle, it will won't it?. Then it is up to our local car carriers to transport the vehicle....
Rokin Rob - you could always ask the dealer. i would be interested to see what they say as mine is going to melbourne and i'm in sydney.

Corey_R, will the undergo compliance at the port of landing and then trucked directly to the dealer? Or will they be shipped via road and undergo compliance after?

lolz - hot thread!!

[Corey_R]

They undergo compliance at the port of landing.

AKA, drill hole 1, drill hole 2, pull plate out of box, pop rivet 1, pop rivet 2, remove film, write down number, complied

Damn - that port is crowded! Just had a look on the AIS site.

[RoknRob]

Actually... I just rechecked the tracking site, and while the Marine traffic website states the Manon is enroute to Fremantle, the tracking site states my Polo GTI will be discharged in Brisbane. So it will not be a dealer swap from WA, after all.

Can hardly wait!

[Frostee]

What's the website that you can track the actual location of the ship?

[Corey_R]

As per the link on how to track your cars in my first post of the thread, it's Marine Traffic.

[RoknRob]

There is also an app for that... even on Android!

[Frostee]

Thank you.

Interesting to see that the Mignon is on its way to Bremerhaven? it wasn't due there until the 26th? The Morning Carol and Topaz Ace are still in Zeebrugge as is the Tombarra.
