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:

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

It worked for three days, but now I get an internal server error too.
My guess is that they have disabled GET requests, which was what made it possible to make bookmarks that includes the search terms, and now they require a POST request from the https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage page. Why, I don't know - it's not like they serve ads on the field entry page and really need people to go there first.
Or it could just be a blip and it'll start working again.
