The WWL PCTCs FREEDOM, ASAIN KING, TAMPA, PATRIOT, TARAGO, and MANON are presently underway for Baltimore. Any of those could be carrying smarts. The Ro/Ros ATLANTIC CONCERT, ATLANTIC COMPASS, and ATLANTIC CARTIER (WWL charters) are also underway for Baltimore, but less likely to be carrying small vehicles.

As fishrdnc noted, there are several WWL ships currently enroute to Baltimore - BUT

The first load of customer smarts for the US are on the ASIAN KING. She's due to dock in Baltimore on Sat(22nd) and unload 195 new US fortwo's (mine included hopefully) and depart for Brunswick, GA on Sun(23rd)

Dundalk Marine Terminal. But fugedaboudit. There is so much security around U.S. marine terminals now, the best you can do is to get yourself arrested.

I spent a bit of phone time this week trying to pry some information out of WWL Vehical Processing Center (Dundalk), WWL USA, and Port of Baltimore Operations to get some feel for port through-put; everybody was mum as a clam. No info; you need mega-credentials to get anyone to talk; as a private retiree, I don't have them any more.

It will require a "Federal Port Security Credential." And a documented reason to be there.

Sorry to bust your bubble but the ASIAN KING is docking in NY not Baltimore. and they ask to dock today the 21st. I hope we still get some of the smarts. on this load. I couldn't confirm the manafest. with out boarding the ASIAN KING. But the coffer was good and it is a car hauler.
