If I have ordered from Chelmsford VW. Which port is this? Would it be sheerness?

Yes that will be Sheerness, which makes ship tracking much easier, its the Malacca Highway and all it does is go back and forth from Emden, alternating from the VW and Audi areas of Emden each time
I see! Appreciate that thanks [emoji23] hopefully it’s stuck straight on the boat once it gets to emden.

Which ship/port would my car be going on if and when it reaches Emden?
I've ordered my car from Nuneaton, Warwickshire (West Midlands).

Which port is the best to have it go to? If it is Grimsby, is that the best port to have in terms of activity of ships etc...

Grimsby. My 2 Listers Nuneaton sourced cars came via Grimsby. Too far north for Sheerness, too far south for Tyne.

Is this relatively good news then if it’s Grimsby? I’ve heard that certain ports have a limited amount of ships too and from.

For those who had cars on the Glovis Star that arrived in Emden on Tuesday, I’ve just received my 5B notification this morning to say it has arrived in Emden.

For reference I ordered January 27th and received the 5A notification on July 3rd.

Nothing yet, i'm not sure when the 5c actually comes through, either when the ship departs emden or as it gets to grimsby?

Not a clue! I am quite surprised tbh. I was expecting it at Grimsby as well as my dealer is just down the road from Grimsby. Apparently cars in the middle of the UK however can go to either Sheerness or Grimsby. Either way, not gonna complain :)

Just spoke with my dealer and the car is on the Isar highway due at Grimsby tomorrow and I should have it in 5-10 days he’s promised me. Best get my dodo juice order on as I want some wax for the car.
