Tracking shipments to the US

I do not think this exact trick has been posted before, but there's a shortcut to tracking the shipping from Bremerhaven to UK/Canada/US/Mexico which allows for bookmarking a single URL. (It's the "which ..." part that to my knowledge hasn't been documented before)
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:

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:

(%25 translates to a wildcard.)

Just thought this might be helpful, as opposed to the more laborious ways described on the web
