Tracking ships !

[smkettner]

Are you sure it is not Godzilla, Anguirus, Ghidorah or one of the others

Maybe one of our members has access to the U.S. Customs Service Automated Manifest System (AMS) at the port of Long Beach which gives customs brokers and consignees rapid, secure clearance for delivery of their cargo. The Automated Voice Response System lets shippers and consignees keep track of cargo availability around the clock.

wxxyz - can I use your server to hack into this gov't system? We'd have the complete scoop on cargo deliveries with a little glimpse into this system!

Where in Japan port Yokohama do they load cars. I want to keep an eye on the next ship coming in the trip is about 12 day so that would be first week of January.

I'll head back down to port today and stick around for a couple of hours this time - I'm not working and the nasty weather has finally pulled out. Anyone local who wants to join me, it's that same location I posted in another thread - at the end of Shore Rd, which you find by taking South Henry Ford (by the side of the Terminal Island Fwy) to Anchorage and following the road round. I'll be there from ~11am-1pm.

Mwalsh, do you bring binoculars with you and a camera? Let us know if you see any movement down there on the dock. I would think our dashboards would update in the next few days as an early Christmas gift!

Yes, I have a small pair of "sport" binoculars and, of course, my digital camera with optical/digital zoom. I may take a tripod with me today, so that I can get steadier zoom shots with the camera.

That is an impressive set-up. Good luck!

I was able to snap this shot just before the DHS took mike away.

 

[Gonewild]

I have found 2 more car ships in Yokohama port.

Green Dale with a USA flag

Morning Ninn with a Singapore flag

I think they use Singapore flagged ship?

Dude! Every woman I've known has told me that size didn't matter.

 

[garygid]

mwalsh, want company? check your PM

 

[Gonewild]

They LIE.

 

[malloryk]

LOL I'd join you today if I could Mike! I do have to work plus I sold my car last night so have no real way to get down there. Good luck on the reconnaissance mission!

The Ship has set sail if it had sails. Any way it moving out of dock at 8 knots

Is Yokohama port a Nissan port or all car makers?

I could be wrong again. PLEASE don't tell my wife. The Morning Ninni has a destination Kobe Japan.
