I left my car at Welt to be flat bedded out to the port on 3/23 and was told it would be held for only a max of 3 days there.

Does anyone know what happens after it gets to the port in Europe? How long before it gets on the boat? I see carriers leaving on 3/27 arriving 4/8 and 4/5 arriving 4/19. Guess if its not trackable yet my next bet would be 4/5 if im lucky.
It can vary. Best thing to do is usually to call Loginout and make sure they book your car onto the ship ASAP. They can also tell you what ship your car is booked on. I also drop the car off at Loginout to avoid delay in car getting to the port (BMW will relocate your car from Welt to Loginout for shipping).

The long delays tend to be July-September when there are a lot of EDs and also new model launches. Right now its slower so easier to get on first ship. some of us had to wait till the 3rd or 4th ship last fall.
