That’s how they all were before going to the Baltimore port right next to it

Oof let’s hope that’s not the case. 3 stops in the same general port just seems financially irresponsible.

So is the route to get to Baltimore, it’s like 12 hours 🤣 and then it gotta go all the way back down that. Waste of time

I still think she will go on the C&D channel to Philly and/or NY after Baltimore.

It won’t fit, the water is too shallow

It’s actually much cheaper and faster to dock the ship next to the various VDCs then truck them around.

They have the RoRo works offload something like 100+cars/hr to the VDC yard, where they get processed and put on a truck once.

The BMW VDCs do a lot of work. That is where all the US stickers are put on, where final paint inspection and washing is done, etc.

Idk seems cheaper to pay some lot attendant on minimum wage to drive them over haha.

Thanks for sharing what the CA is saying. Can you clarify? Your VIR - Vehicle Inquiry says NYCPOA, but your CA says it's getting off in Baltimore and will get onto a truck the rest of the way? And your CA also told you that the vessel is not expecting a NY stop?

Same Baltimore destination as it has been at since it updated from 00:30. Just didn't update when it got to Dundalk. Look at the other ships that appear in the same status.

Edit: looks like the Carmen did stop at Dundalk and now is at Baltimore port.

The picture CA sent to me says port of arrival: PORT BAYONNE NJ. EST ARRIVAL 11/19

[JoeG]

I have a feeling my CA got Bayone and Baltimore confused. He was expecting the ship to arrive on 11/18, but it hit Baltimore on 11/18, not the original schedule of Bayone on 11/18. I’ll wait to hear back on Monday.

Yes. There is near zero chance they’d truck your car from Baltimore. The only way that would happen would be a dealership trade.

If the Sunrise does not have to stop in Philly, it will get to Port Bayonne very quickly (day and 1/2). If it has to stop in Philly double that.

How long after car is at port should one expect a call from PDC?

[baron95]

Quick check before going to catch some Zzzzz.

Sunrise is under way looks like it’s going to Sparrows Point. Hope it unloads all the Bimmers in the morning.

[BmwPines24]

Looks like she arrived Sparrows Point shortly after the previous post… let’s get those cars unloaded!

[k-m2-j442]

Interesting note:
Currently the Amazoneborg is going through the channel between baltimore and the delaware river. The Amazoneborg has a draught of 9.1m. If after the unload the sunrise is around that, it could be a viable transit path maybe, instead of going all the way around?

[Bimmerguy618]

Let’s hope all of us in Baltimore get on trucks and leave by tomorrow. 🤞

My status updated from “In Transit” to “At the Port”! Does that means the car has been offloaded?

At the port too! One step closer

[ttaidapos]

With my general luck, mine will be the last one off and be driven by the newest driver on shift resulting in some sort of damage or be driven into the water lol I've accepted this fact a long time ago lol

[Bimmerguy618]

Mine has updated to at the port too!
