I watched the tugs go out the ship that was carrying my car into Sheerness on marinetraffic...
It seems Emden (the ship, not the port) is leaving Emden (the port, not the ship) shortly for Sheerness for those who are waiting
When Schelde Highway arrived at Grimsby this evening it went straight into the inner Alexandra dock rather than using the new River Terminal. No tugs were used and it went through the lock between the Tidal Basic and the inner docks. This does mean that when the cars are unloaded they have far less distance to drive to the Volkswagen Group holding area.
It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow evening when the much larger African Highway arrives.

My car was built Week 10 (last week) - dealer is maintaining his view that I will take delivery "mid-March". Is this realistic, given the build up of cars, waiting to be transported to dealers, before and after 1st March?
I haven't had the wait some of you guys have had as I got a cancellation - god knows though it's bad enough waiting for three weeks so far!
Mine is finally at the dealer, tomorrow it will get PDI and Wednesday is E-day (exchange day).
Think original build week was 12, then moved forward to week 9, and finally really built in end of week 8.
But keep in mind that I'm in Denmark, but car has had a stopover, at the border between Germany and Denmark where it was converted to a van, think this takes about the same time as when you guys have to wait for a boat.
Mine was build week 8 but still not at the dealer... It's somewhere in the UK tho...
d8ean - mine was awaiting shipment the week before yours and it arrive at the uk port on Friday

Apparently my car should be at the dealer this week!
How long to get pdi done and private plate attached? 2-3 days??
Woohoo! My BW8 SB S line 184 quattro arrived at my dealer today!..
That's good news, should be speaking to them tomorrow and for me I can only find time at weekends to pick the car upDealers are supposed to turn the PDI around within 48hrs of taking delivery.
GOT IT!!! And it's absolutely chuffing brilliant!!!! I had high expectations of it but my new Sportback S line TDI 184 quattro S tronic far FAR exceeds them. It's an incredible machine and worth every penny and every moment of the long wait. I'm one very happy new Audi owner! )
