Pretty-much every week. There is a short break in August when the factory shuts down, and sometimes they miss a week (next week, for example) but otherwise it's constant.
Yes. Teams of drivers work together moving thousands of cars on and off the ships.
I'm obviously missing something. I've watched the video three times now and all he says is "the port". No mention of Emden
More of an assumption I'm making with Emden as it seems an awful lot of work for a few miles to Barcelona Port.I'm obviously missing something. I've watched the video three times now and all he says is "the port". No mention of Emden
It's about 30kM from Martorell to Barcelona. Three trains and up to 150 transporters per day take cars to the port. Only one or two trains per day are for cars not initially destined for Barcelona.
Hi mate, was there a ship that left a couple of weeks before this? As my dealer said mine was on the boat 2 weeks ago? Phoned him a week later and he still said its on the boat, how long is it normally the boat?
How would I find out the name of the boat? I Actually have the marine tracker app lol. I ordered exactly 12 weeks ago today (4th of January) Leon fr st 150hp diesel, I'm hoping it's either at the port or on its way to the dealers. Phoned the dealer 2 weeks ago and he said it was on the boat, then phoned a week later and he said its still on the boat, I know there's one due in sheerness tomorrow, but as I have read, I'm in Scotland and the boat would dock at somewhere in Tyneside. I'm really trying not to be impatient.That's the same boat my Arona was on. If I remember correctly I think it was 29m long...
Get the name of your boat and track it on marinetraffic.com. I think mine took about 2-3 weeks from Barca to Tynemouth before it was showing 'in port' and ready to transport to dealers.
Cheers. I'm not going to bother them this week with a phone call but if I've not heard anything by the 16th of April then I'll give them a ring, I'm actually car-less at the moment so it seems even longer to wait without one lol, I hope it will be worth the wait, we previously had an ink blue Nissan juke, very similar to the mystery blue of the SEAT, it'll be nice to have something with a bit more power and a larger boot.
Ink blue is very similar to mystery blue, i would say mystery has a bit more blue in it. Strangely, I've come from a Juke too, really fun car to drive and the around view monitor is an excellent piece of innovation.
Yeah I also had that around view monitor, so it would have been the tekna you had? Our Leon that we've ordered won't have the cameras so I'll miss that, but I'll get used to it, the thing with the juke is that it had cameras in the wing mirrors and a camera in the front too, which were very very good, most new cars will only have a reversing camera, we had the juke from new 2015, done exactly 49800 miles in it, so it had done plenty, only thing was the clutch went at 42k, it got repaired under warranty. Going from a juke to a Leon estate will be a big change for me, the juke was tiny in the back.
Also Im hoping mine isn't on that ship that docks tomorrow as I really can't go another 2+ weeks without a car, as mine will be docking last at Tynemouth l.
Yep Tekna spec. Ive been in some cars where the cameras havent been in the right place but the Juke's were just right. Will also miss the heated seats in the freezing mornings too, but hey ho, onward and upwards!
Aye I forgot about the heated seats, I had the 1.5 diesel, and on nice weather conditions I could squeeze 600 miles from a full tank, the car was incredible, I have only just took it back to the dealers on Saturday, 49800 of those miles were all "babied" I think it was in sport mode once on the way back to the dealers lol. when I ordered our leon the dealer actually stated that the 4th (today) was our expected delivery date, I know take that with a pinch of salt.
I also had a drive around my local seat dealer for a minute last week I know I'm very sad haha) to see if they had any new deliveries in, which they did but they all seemed to be atecas.
It was about new cars being delivered to dealerships... All of the big logistics companies sub-contract work out to eastern-European drivers (and their trucks) during busy periods.
