NoGaBiker and WMN-

Welcome aboard the Horizon Highway! We're all making the trip together (hopefully along with a few others like RobM on this forum)! This must be a ship full of Defenders!

Blessings and safe travels to the HH...

 

I'll be at St. Simons Island next week through Friday or Saturday. We can see all the freighters enter St. Simons Sound from our house on their way to the port; I've seen HH before, easy to spot. I'll keep my eye out. What's the best way to track them?

 

Two sites that I've been using:
This one is pretty straight forward - https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels...MMSI-353105000

This one allows you to register for free, download a phone app and create alerts (arrival, ETA, etc.) - https://www.myshiptracking.com/?mmsi=353105000

 

I agree, vessel finder is straightforward and easy to use.

 

Yep, just checked her; due in Balti 6.17, so I won't get to see her when I'm down at the coast.

 

So my car is sitting on the dock in Baltimore for nearly a week now and it is missing it's "engine certification" so it cannot be shipped to the dealer by the port - and I'm quoting here "hoping it will be in the next week or so". OR SO! and also there are no front expedition parts in stock anywhere - not for port installation or to dealers....

UPDATE: So it's now been sitting on the dock in Baltimore for 18 days, and the dealer does not have a ship to dealer date yet. I had a rather terse exchange with the sales manager yesterday, but it still ended(surprisingly) the same way - the port cannot release it without the engine certification. I stated again that if this thing isn't perfect, we're done.

 

I saw our ship from the porch this morning. Went out to the beach and discovered it’s the sister ship, Niagara Highway. Looks like the Horizon is due into Baltimore tomorrow.

 

any way to track using a VIN? I have my VIN but dealer is being a pain about giving me vessel info.

 

No, not that I know of. The dealers use Vista Dealer software that gets the most accurate updates that exist and even they are dodgy and delayed. This sounds absurd but bribe your sales associate with some little gift or nice gesture and they'll be more willing to log-in to Vista any time you send them a text and ask for an update.

Mine was very patient and willing to update me any time I asked. Once the vehicle landed at the port in Brunswick, even he didn't receive a Trucking company notification when it left port and suddenly arrived four days later here in the heartland...

 

Anyone on this forum work for a dealer or have access to vista dealer sw?
