But how do you know the names of the ships that VW uses?

I tracked my Ioniq a while back and there was a website which showed shipping schedules for the shipping company Hyundai used. It took nearly 2 months to get to the UK!
Over time you get to know them. They use "Highway" such as Ems, Weser, Isar, Neckar Highway mainly for Grimsby. The larger "Highway" ships like Thames and Malacca Highway are used to go into Sheerness and the City of Oslo, Rotterdam and St Petersburg run to Grimsby and Tyne.
There are the odd few other ships used also.

Don't.forget City of Rome and City of Paris for Tyne. They're very regular - Leave Emden with VAG cars, head to Tyne (often directly), drop them off, pick up Sunderland built Nissans, take them up to Helsinki, Back to Tyne, pick up more Nissans, take them to Amsterdam/Ijmuiden, back to Emden for more VAGs.

Turnaround at Tyne Dock is very quick to get cars Customs released and to the local Lookers/Pulman dealerships.

I see the City of Rotterdam has actually just left Emden for Grimsby.

ID3 Tour Pro S - Ordered 2nd July
BW 34 w/c 23rd August

Latest update from VW UK live chat as of today is car is at Emden awaiting ship. Looking at about 12 weeks from order to delivery, so seems like good going compared to most.

Nice. Do you know if this was a full on factory order (mine was) or whether your dealer already had one on back order that was allocated to you ? Our order went in a couple weeks after yours, and it’s going to be at least week 40 before it goes into assembly, if not later.

It was a factory order, got the order number about a week after ordering. Seems likely it was an unallocated car dealer already had on order given the speed with which it seems to be coming through compared to others who ordered at the same time.
Order Placed (3124xxxx) - 2nd July 21
Build Week - 34 w/c 23rd August 21
Arrived at Emden - 20th September 21
Released to shipping - 4th October 21
Shipped to UK - 6th October 21
Arrived in the UK - 8th October 21
At Dealer - 18th October 21

Hi all

Placed an order for Tour Pro S in Moonstone on 9th September and currently being told will be early March 2022 for delivery, no confirmed dates just what dealership is advising. Question, are others being told minimum of 6 months and if so is this accurate or are they coming earlier/later?

Many thanks Zobware

Spoke to the live chat yesterday and still no build week confirmation. Little bit concerned because my dealer had said build week 40 was the preliminary date, but obviously it would be confirmed now for week 40..

Same convo with dealer he advised factory confirmation is 4 weeks ahead of actual build, usually updated on a Monday. This week is week 35. So confirmation should be on Monday for a wk40.... fingers crossed!

Current calendar week is 36 and people who had confirmation last Friday were for build week 39. Unless the factory doesn’t count the first calendar week?

Fingers crossed indeed! Getting a little impatient now, want rid of my current car ASAP. :D

Do you have an estimated build week? How long after did people get their estimated build weeks?

Order confirmed week 34 and given an estimated delivery date of week 4 2022.

I had my estimated build week of 40 a few weeks ago in a video from the dealer. Couldn’t tell you what week my order was confirmed or accepted but I had the order number on the 6th of July.

No problem :) maybe Monday will be the day after all. I’ve reverted to the dealer to see if the estimated build week has changed, since the live chat only deals in confirmed dates.

When an order is placed a provisional build week is given. I thought mine was week 38 but apparently I was wrong as it was week 39.
This is a screenshot of my order and it shows both the confirmed build week and the original (provisional) build week.

Yes, he sent it to me last Friday to let me know it had been confirmed. Fortunately I get on well with my sales guy at the dealership.

Brilliant! The sales rep I've been spoken to has been super helpful. When I asked her she said the 'estimated build week' isn't showing and to check again in a couple of weeks. When I asked what the availability is like at the factory she said 'they're currently scheduling builds in around week 44/45'. Maybe that is the provisional build week?

I would of thought those stated weeks of 44/45 are confirmed build weeks on other orders she has. But there have been people on here saying their build week has moved forward so hopefully they are stepping up production a little. I know the ICE orders at VW are a nightmare but it has not hit the EV's that much.

Can they be confirmed build dates? Since they are normally confirmed 4 weeks in advance which would be week 39/40 in a few weeks' time

You are right there.
If you look at "Up the jumper" signature he ordered week 30 and 1st provisional was week 45 which is nor provisionally week 42. So it does look as if the production is stepping up.
Lets hope week 44/45 are your provisional weeks.
