Shipping time & tracking of ship

Neo · 24-06-2012 05:30am

Curious, Im tracking my ship on marinetraffic.com and it seems the ship is "out of range" and I can't see it's positioning on the map. Does this mean they have lost the ship? I don't know how in this age where we have satellites and GPS why a gigantic ship can not be located???

Do we need to call in NASA?

haha, No neo. All ships lose contact crossing the atlantic. My brother works on super yachts and each time he does the crossing he's out of contact for about a week depending on weather etc.
Parsifal should pop up sometime this week, and it will be on the west coast.

When you zoom out on the map you will see the green squares showing the range of coverage they have. Once it's away from a coast there is usually no coverage.

Barring any last minute calamities, I am all set to pick up my new Evoque on Saturday Very Happy

As a side note - my thanks to all who contribute here - the forum has been an absolute goldmine of information about the car, dealers, prices etc - all of which was very interesting and helpful over the last few months.

Three more sleeps now! Laughing

I am so jealous of you Titan! Hope the handover goes to plan!

Congrats Titan and Kaiser, the light at the end of the tunnel is fast approaching.

Our time will come Missy.

Cheers guys - but a black cloud looms (literally) on the horizon - the last car I bought got damaged by hail on the very same day I picked it up from the dealer.

Now I check the weather forecast for this weekend, and there is possible hail on Saturday and Sunday Shocked
