Default Is my Boat's Captain Drunk?

My car is supposed to be coming over on the 13th. Looks like it's scheduled on the Euphony Ace. But right now it appears the boat is just doing circles off the coast of Africa.

I do hope the Skipper sobers up before they load my car on his ship.

It could be waiting for permission to enter port. The ship has to keep moving to maintain steerageway. It also has scoops in the hull which provides engine cooling water.

Lots of detailed threads on this. Try a global AW search.

If I were you, I'd just ask my SA for an update. I don't know when you ordered your car, but you can also ask him to sign you up for the Customer in Waiting Program. They'll send you four emails. Order Received, Production Start, European Port, and arrival at the US port.

Well whatever he's doing, I can't see him getting to Emden on time. Right now it's early afternoon on the 11th, and they still haven't docked in Nouakchott. They are due in to Germany in two days. I think they're gonna be late.

Well, I don't think I could really blame them for that.
