Taking them over 3 weeks to ship mine 240 miles.

They have to take a carrier across a country larger than Europe to the coast. Then put in on a ship to cross the world's largest ocean.

Welcome Greg.

From memory, back in 2016/7 it took about three weeks to get from the production line to the dock. About a month to sail here. Normally a few days or so to get to the dealer from the dock. Although in my case, the ship was contaminated with an oil spill, or similar, and it took about three weeks to get to the dealer because every vehicle on the ship had to be cleaned before being released by customs.

If you ordered stripes, add a week or three, as they are applied by a guy off the production line.

Move forward to now, last I heard, there was a shortage of ships at the moment, so that might slow the process.

The wait is frustrating, but it is worth it. Good luck.

It takes about 2 weeks from production day to the wharf, and then another 2-3 weeks to be loaded on a ship at Pt Baltimore, then around 33 days to Pt Kembla, via the Panama Canal, and I think another 3-4 days to Melbourne.

I found that the few progress notifications I received from Ford Au were always two weeks late, and as you posted this 2 weeks ago, it will be very close to finding its way onto a ship.

Check with your dealer for the ship name, and get a status screen-shot from them, which also shows the allocated ship and Build Date.

You can then check Pt Baltimore shipping schedule to find your ship.

Hope this helps, Good Luck !

Thanks Greg,
Congratulations, I am looking forward to getting a similar email one day.
Hay Dingo, as previously said, hopefully Ford will bump your build date back earlier ! When your car is ready I will find the links to track your ship, all the way to your port, including the speed and proposed course and ETA updates of the ship and even the weather (for a bit of drama!). You can also zoom in and out. Your Port will probably (just a guess) be Brisbane, like this:

Thanks Steve, that would be very much appreciated.
Really hoping that my Segmentation Date stays at 26-JUL-21, which is this Monday.
I have already pre-warned my Local Dealer I want a Screen Shot on Wednesday.!!

Hi Dingo, with any luck they could bring your build date forward, as they did with me, twice.
Best of luck !
Hi Steve,
latest Screen Shot from the Stock Controller today, still showing SEGMENTATION DATE of 26-JUL-2021.
My ETA has slipped another week now 23-OCT-2021.
Still hoping to have it by XMAS.
