The Horizon Highway is in port in Brunswick, GA; due to depart for Charleston, SC later today.
Hurricane Isaias is heading towards the US and will head past Charleston around 2AM on 3 August, when the Horizon Highway is scheduled to dock at Charleston.
Waiting to see if/when the Horizon Highway departs Brunswick today as scheduled, or is delayed, etc.
In the meantime, here's where we stand on the timeline.
(Read: Event: Date - Elapsed days since production number assigned (Amplifying comments.)
Production number received (Status 111): 5/28 - Day 0 (BMW reflects some, but not all of the options from my original order.)
Scheduled for production (Status 112): 5/29 - 1 Day elapsed from production number.
(I made some changes to the configuration at this point due to the LCI dropping some options, but since the car hadnt begun production, it did not impact the timeline. The changes were committed on 6/5/2020.)
The car entered production and a VIN was assigned (Status 150): 6/16 Day 19 (Any changes to the options, etc. after this point would have delayed the build of the car.)
Exterior body assembly and painting (Status 151 & 152): 6/29 Day 32
Entered the assembly line (Status 153): 6/30 Day 33
Assembly in progress, quality check, final assembly, ready for transport, and awaiting carrier assignment (Status 155 & 182): 7/1 Day 34 (A total of 3 days to build the car, including a 24 hour delay (probably for the paint to complete curing, the next dayshift, etc.)
On the train to Bremerhaven (Status 190): 7/2 Day 35
At the Port of Bremerhaven (Status 193): 7/3 Day 36
In transit (on the Ro Ro Ship HORIZON HIGHWAY Status 195): 7/8 Day 41
I lost updated tracking on the ship on 7/14 (Day 47) after it made a couple of port visits and headed out across the Atlantic. Rather than paying for the Satellite tracking (or playing the sign up for 7 days free, and sign up again), I waited for the ship to get in range of a U.S. east coast shore AIS station, which happened Friday (7/24 - Day 57) as the ship approached the Chesapeake Bay.
From Bremerhaven to Baltimore, total transit time was 22 days (the ship docked on 7/25 Day 58).
The ship then left Baltimore for Brunswick, GA on 7/27 (Day 60) and docked in Brunswick on 7/29 (Day 62).
The Horizon Highway is scheduled to leave Brunswick today 7/31 (Day 64) and is expected to dock on 8/3 (Day 67) if the Hurricane does not delay it.
For anyone interested, the Horizon Highway is owned/operated by K Line America, Inc. (
https://www.kline.com/) and this series of ports is what they refer to as the North Atlantic Shuttle (NAS) route. After its stop in Charleston, it will head back to Bremerhaven arriving o/a 17 August, where it will start the route over again.
So, if the Hurricane doesn't impact the timeline, 67 days from production number received until the car actually touches U.S. soil if you are doing PDC delivery on the East Coast.
For those of you who have been monitoring this thread - thank you. I appreciate your comments/PMs/and your 'appreciates'.
Hopefully, I'll have a concrete delivery date to share later next week.
