How Volkswagen is navigating its charter ships through the crisis
Challenges for overseas vehicle logistics in times of corona ...
The article is listed in the OP.There was an article somewhere on these forums? They have 11 and yes they use theirs. The article was about the person who manages the vessels throughout this pandemic.
Polaris Highway was the vessel that brought my last BMW, embarking from Bremerhavn. Does VW only use it's own dedicated vessels?
What about 12/3? Is that returning to Emden?Welcome to the club!
Here are critical members of the fleet:
Goodwood - Currently enroute from Emden to Port of Baltimore (without calls on Halifax or Davisville)
SIEM Confucius - LNG vessel, soon to depart Veracruz, likely to return to Emden after Jacksonville (based on typical patterns)
SIEM Cicero - Recently arrived at Veracruz
Port of Davisville berthing schedule
Those are Mexico units being offloaded.What about 12/3? Is that returning to Emden?
In reading more about the ground breaking of the battery testing facility at Chattanooga, I was exploring the US Media Site for VW. After watching the video on the ground breaking on the battery testing facility, I noticed another video in the library on the Port of Baltimore: Tradepoint Atlantic vehicle terminal with some interesting drone shots of a vehicle carrier with none other than.... The Bishu Highway... With footage of Audi's rolling off.Very interesting...Charleston might typically be for Spartanburg BMW's headed outbound for global deliveries. Wonder what, if anything, it's carrying to Emden.
Good to see a few more vessels with arrivals that present opportunities for deliveries before end of year!
Would anyone know if vehicles for NJ dealerships arrive via Davisville or Baltimore? I am guessing Baltimore.
It looks like Green Bay is due back in Davisville Dec 4th.Green Bay is due in Emden on Nov 18. How long do they usually stay there unloading/reloading before heading back out?
