Most (but not all) cars will go on a Wilhelmsen line RORO freighter, and once your car is in stage 2 or 3 and you have received a VIN from the dealer, you can start looking for it:

https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...VM5C58DVV90100

The last part after the = is the full VIN - change as appropriate (the above is an example, and no, not my car)

Also note that in the tracking, the Norwegian date style is used, DD-MM-YYYY. Americans may be used to MM/DD/YYYY, or the international YYYY-MM-DD.

If you want to see the cars surrounding yours, say all the 90xxx production numbers, to get a feeling for when your car might get loaded:

https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...VM5C58DVV90%25

(%25 translates to a wildcard.)

Just thought this might be helpful, as opposed to the more laborious ways described on the web
Two questions.
1) does that first link work for you? I get this:
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

2) Will this work on ED cars?

Edit: I just found my car by using https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...ckSearchResult and entering in my VIN in the Cargo ID field. Looks like I am on the Queen Sapphire. http://sagaweb.2wglobal.com/AppSched...ring=CA250-QUS
