It looks like the Dionysos Leader is back in open water and headed south.

Marinetraffic.com shows a destination for the D-Leader of US VAN, with an arrival date of 30 April. Which means it should be going to Vancouver, Wa. If it is inbound to Vancouver, Wa it is almost certainly carrying Subarus. There should be an update on ships inbound to the Vancouver Wa./Portland Or. ports on shipreport.net on Monday. Since the D-leader is reported to be carrying customer BRZs, they should hit the ground in Vancouver, Wa. sometime Monday.

Going through a sandstorm today and I do not feel like turning my lungs in to a sandbox. So I am passing a little time tracking ships again and maybe my BRZ. The Dionysos Leader should have just docked at Vancouver Wa. Shortly, Subarus and most likely BRZs will be offloaded to the Subaru (AWC) facility. I would think that those BRZs should start arriving at dealers in the western part of the U.S. within a week or so. But this might not be the first load of BRZs in to Vancouver, Wa. The D-Leader will be at least the third ship to offload Subarus since the 19th of April. Not sure if the other two ships had BRZs on board, but the D-Leader is supposed to be carrying them. I think we will start to receive our BRZs soon, very soon.

^Thanks, next stage for inland folk is by rail anyway... My MI dealer says they get their cars by truck from Chicago, where it arrives by rail from Vancouver, WA

Thanks - I'm in MI also, so it helps to understand the route my vehicle will be taking.

This is an update to my last post. While the Dionysos Leader was unloading Subarus, the Pyxis was across the river in Portland Or. unloading Toyotas/Scions. Very possible there were FR-S on the Pyxis, but I do not know for sure. As a side note, there were Hondas being offloaded in Portland at the same time as the Subaru/Toyota/Scions, however they were on the Rainbow Wing.

Ugh, rail transport.

Time to bust out the clay bars.

Just wondering what route Bay Area Subbies are taking, considering there is an FR-S batch in Benicia, CA already. Portland and then trucking?

Grimlock · 04-30-2012, 02:49 PM

Any updates on a ship headed to Baltimore?
