Shipping trivia

lexem · 03-10-2012, 12:51 AM

My obsession with the 1M continues as the wait for it along with another car for the wife and kids to arrive begins to take a toll on my patience. So I have two cars that were loaded on two different vessels from Bremerhaven (Car 1, 2nd March and Car 2, 22nd Feb).

Car 1 is coming via the UK, South Africa, Fremantle to arrive in Melbourne April 10. Car 2 from Bremerhaven via Baltimore, USA then Panama and on to Melbourne due to arrive April 8.

So todays trivia lesson is that it takes 7 extra days to ship a car via the US than it does via South Africa (39 days vs 46). End trivia.
