96 Days and Counting
96 days after submitting our order, the Olympian Highway has arrived in Houston with my wife's Q5 (hopefully). Only another week and we will get to start enjoying it!

I'm more than a little confused, been getting conflicting information and the tracking site has been weird.
Last I understood it should have arrived at Halifax on Thursday the 24th, but it wasn't until today I actually got an email that it had. And the site itself still shows my status as "Ship at Sea".
I really, really hope it's already on its way to the dealership and I won't have to wait much longer at all. I CAN'T!

So I wouldn't necessarily take the systems/emails at face value, just that it's at least that far in the process. I expect there's numerous delays in getting the info back into Audi's system when it's on this side of the world compared to when it's in their factories or their close partners.

Got this from my dealer today
"Looks like your Q5 will be in at port (Houston) on the 14 of November. They have delayed the car one week to arrive for some reason. The vehicle has been shipped and is on a boat. It left Germany on the 18th of October and has to make one stop on the east coast. My guess it must have gotten delay there."
According to all the info I had (and even in my dealer's email), I had calculated that my Q5 should be on Bangkok Highway - left Emden on 10/18, expected in Brunswick, GA 10/30 and Houston 11/4. Now looks like delayed for some reason. When I looked last at the position through marinetraffic.com (Mark P's guide), it appeared it was on track and was close to the east coast- last position on picture. But now when I go to the site, it just last update was 10/20/2013 and ship location is north of Scotland!!
Dunno exactly whats going on.

MarineTraffic is not always up to date. You have to check it repeatily to get the information that you want. While I was tracking my ship yesterday, I could not get it to come up until it was nearly in port. I have had some success with VesselFinder, but today it is giving the same information as you arleady have. Just another thing to add to the frustration of the long wait

By the way, several of us have had a week slide in the delivery schedule. Do not know why.

Here is the current version. I randomly gave it a "Nov" filename, but it covers part of Nov/part of Dec.

According to this information and the last shipping schedule that I saved, it will not be on the Bankok Highway as BH is scheduled for Houston Port on the 4th of Nov and not the 14th. The 14th is more in line with Camellia Ace or Marina Ace (leaning towards Camellia, assuming it is not on another carrier)

What is confusing is that according to the dealer "it left Germany on 10/18". Only Bangkok highway left Emden that day (according to pwl.de RORO thing). My dealer also says that it has to make a stop on the east coast - Brunswick, GA and then come to Houston. But then its not arriving till 11/14 (I wonder if this ship has been delayed for some reason and instead of 11/4, now wont hit Houston till 11/14). Because for my Q5 to be on Camellia Ace or Marina Ace, it should have left Germany on Oct 26 or Oct 29 respectively.
I have that week 40-41 schedule on my other PC - I will upload once I get home.
