    Its a bugger you don"t know the name of the vessel ? I use this site to track when shipping.

    I just found out the name of the vessel carrying my new Lowrider S it is the MSC Cape III which was at a Singapore wharf yesterday and due in around 29/9, so everything on track for a early October delivery

    Yep, mine came to Sydney from Singapore also. All went to schedule, so hopefully yours does too.

    That blows mate.

    it does a tad but if you look on the ship finder map the amount of ships in and around the Singapore wharf is huge. it looks like my bikes ship is under anchor waiting for a berth to load

    yeah that would suck lol, the ship is making up time now due in Wellington around the 5/10, while it sucks waiting over 4-5 months for the new bike it has been made easier with the terrible wet weather we've had lately, well most of winter really

    well it turns out my dealer stuffed up a bit(wrong container which was due into Wellington today 5/10), the lowrider S in this container is a grey one, but the good news is my one is on the CMA CGM Marlin ship and is due into Auckland around the 9/10 so just a few days behind

    Appears your ship is still traffic jammed in Singapore. Unavoidable hold up.

    yeah this ship is hard to track (CMA CGM Marlin) on the marine traffic tracking app it says it was off New Caledonia on the 05/10 on the way to Auckland (but position hasn't changed since), expected arrival at the Ports of Auckland has just changed from 09/10 to now 20/10 man I'm confused-  https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:156.3/centery:-23.0/zoom:6

    just got a new position and the ship is just off Cape Reinga (the Northern tip of NZ)

    Well I’m pretty sure the container my bike in has finally been unloaded off the ship and it’s been a long hard wait alright (ordered bike early May). I thought the ship was unloading at Auckland where the ship took nearly a week to wait to get a berth, but only part of the cargo came off there, the ship then sailed to Christchurch waited 4 days for a wharf berth there, finally made Wellington yesterday, so hopefully I’ll have the lowriderS in a couple of weeks, I handed my traded lowrider in to the dealer yesterday as they are removing some off my added parts off the old bike like handgrips, forward controls, rear foot pegs, black hand levers and alarm siren

    Slow process, I've had a S/H one on the water from Long Beach CA, berthed two weeks ago. Still going through the usual stuff to clear customs, AQIS compliance etc.Went to the port the day the containers were been off loaded.After weeks of following on the tracker.

    nah not the windy city, mines in Hamilton and I pick my bike up tomorrow which will be 6 months since i ordered it (arriving after a 2 week cruise on the ship around NZ), I still can't work out why it wasn't delivered when it unloaded some containers at Auckland 1st? As luck has it we have a forecast for a week of rain starting this Friday
