Recheck the spelling of the ship name, I couldn't find it in Lloyds
register. Next step, ask your friend for the name of the agent (he
should have it) and contact them for updates. One other possibility, is
to check with Customs, as they will have to handle the boat, as well as
the ship.
At one time I had a tracer program, but can't find it ...also, if you
can find the owner/operator of the ship, check for a web page which
might list their ship positions.

Didn't find ETA's just current ships in port and their locations. I'll keep
an eye out for the ship. I don't have any idea as to it's scheduled stops. I
don't know what type of ship it is either... but the cargo is a 29 Bayfield
sailboat on a cradle. I'm arranging for it's transportation on arrival to
storage for a buddy of mine. It's called the Argonau and is sailing Saturday
Nov. 8th from Lisbon. Ill check again on the 15th.

Thanx for the info... now I just hope to gawd they keep the bridge manned
this trip. Let's face it... if they lose the sail boat like they do
containers... this one at least will float as opposed to becoming a hazard
to navigation! :-)

| A lot depends on the type of ship.
| Is this a Car carrier, container, or breakbulk ship?
| Speeds could vary, anywhere from 16 - 26 k
| Is it making any stops prior to Halifax?
