Moto Miwa: First batch of BRZ's and FRS left Japan for Long Beach, CA - Page 10 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Here are the list of ports that Subaru (SOA) uses:

Honolulu, HI; Vancouver, WA; Baltimore, MD; and Quonset Point, RI.

SDC uses Charlestown, MA.

Now let's wait and see where exactly this boat is going. If it's going to Panama, my guess is that it will probably arrive in the East Coast.

Subaru does not have a port in CA, so my guess is that this ship will not be stopping there. However, I am not sure as to whether or not Toyota has a port there.

In the original post I wrote that Moto Miwa had said that a shipment of BRZ's and FR-S's are coming to Long Beach. Moto Miwa is a trusted source. Toyota has a port in Long Beach, owns 30% of Subaru, and is collaborating with Subaru on this car. The Altair Leader which we have suspected contains the FT-86's, which was spotted picking up a shipment from a Subaru warehouse / port, previously made a stop at this very Toyota port on April 4th.

Makes sense to me. What I stated was what Subaru uses. Not sure how things are gonna work since the car is basically a joint venture. Thanks for all the work feedbag! Hopefully you're right and some of us will be driving our cars soon.

As for the west coasters, it's a matter of if it's going to make a pit stop on the way or if some other ship is taking care of us.

Regardless of whether or not it does, my car is either already in country or much closer.

That ship is arriving around the date the cars will be sold based on other info and we know the first 86 cars are here. It makes sense that early (first month) BRZ allotments are already here sitting in a lot also.

Anyone know what it costs to run a RoRo oceanic vessel?

Even cheaper to send a ship to both coasts. One to the west, and one to the east. It's not shipping just FR-S/BRZ cars so there are PLENTY of vehicles to ship. Makes no sense for it to be the same ship sent to both coasts in one trip, definately agree there

I will use my logistics experience to ensure this happens.
