Tracking my MINI Countryman :: MINI Countrymans at Bremerhaven! *UPDATE

This is the first time I see bunch of MINI Countryman through the webcam at Bremerhaven's northern port! The image above shows assortment of Countryman still sitting on the vehicle carrier train, likely to be waiting to be unloaded. I will have to visit the site again in a few hours to see them during day time.

*UPDATE Ever wonder why your Countryman is "Being transported to the port of exit" for 3-4 days? Cause it could sit on the train at the port for couple days! Pictures after the jump.





 The sun has risen at the port of Bremerhaven and the assortment of MINI Countryman are enjoying the morning sunshine and the sea breeze. 


However, after 3 days of sitting on a carrier cargo train, they are still sitting at the exact same place!


By the next morning, they were all gone ( "finally" for the prospective owners!" ) probably moved to the dock parking lot or the structure, waiting again for some time (from a few days to many days) before being loaded to the vehicle carrier vessel.  Can you say... "Game of Waiting"?

    For the name of the ship your MINI is on, you will have to ask your MA. They will be able to give you the name. Yes.. painful.. but also quite exciting and fun! =)

    Found out mine didn't leave Bremerhaven until April 23 and isn't due until mid May :( I live in San Jose, Ca so then it will need to make its way up which will also take a few days. Finally got the name of the boat-Martorell! I am so bummed it isn't on an earlier boat...

    Can't wait to see pics of your new baby!
