Once a ship is assigned BMW or the dealer can provide the ship name.

BMW My Garage only works for cars.
Ok, going to nerd out and brag a little bit... This ship is the one used to bring our car from Germany to California in 2014.

Does anyone know which ship left Bremerhaven on January 18th?

Supposedly my bike is on the water but the ship name isn't in the system, yet?

When I called BMW on Friday, they said my bike shipped on 1/18, but didn't have a vessel name.

When I called the dealer they said my bike didn't ship.

I called BMW back on Monday, same story but they had a container id.

I was able to use this site to find the container and it appears they just loaded onto a ship today.

So unlike cars motorcycles can be tracked by container.
Heading to the dealer tomorrow to unbox mine! Can’t wait! They have the red and black versions in the showroom also! Will take pics

For those interested in tracking a motorcycle.

I've learned that unlike cars we can track a motorcycle by the container it is in. When you talk to BMW or the dealer ask for the container id.

I used https://www.apl.com/ebusiness/tracking/search to track the container and find the vessel name. The site shows when the empty container was delivered to BMW in Berlin and when it left for the port and it's final destination. The strange part is the vessel left port @14:45 UTC but this site shows it leaving @10PM local time, which didn't line up with CST (Germany) or EST (US)?

If you click on the Voyage Reference number, it displays another search screen. Delete the Voyage Reference and enter the Vessel Name (select the name returned in the DDL). Then search and peak a bit deeper into the logistics rabbit hole.

I also used Online Container & Freight Tracking System – Searates.com to confirm the information. It provides a different view but no time detail.

Use Marine Traffic to view the intermediate ports where the vessel stops.
