2024 Mustang Australia (AU) Pricing and Timing Schedule

Tosca and Tortugas are still anchored off The Entrance / Gosford, awaiting entry to Newcastle, however they are not yet listed on the Port of Newcastle Vessel movement listing which goes out to 15/01/25. Quite the mystery! Daily Vessel Movements | Port Authority New South Wales

And the mystery deepens. Despite not being listed on the port movement webpage,, Tosca docked at Newcastle (and then magically appeared right at the top of the webpage listing). I am assuming it is unloading the cars there.....or could be simply refuelling and stocking up on supplies, who knows!!

The Tortugas is still hanging out off the coast of New Castle.

Tosca (and probably Tortugas - if it ever gets a birth at Newcastle) is going straight to Melbourne after departing Newcastle on 07/01/25.

So it appears that Pt Kembla is now to be bypassed and the cars offloaded at Newcastle for NSW.

For those who have a Mustang on Tosca, you can track the trucking Transport from Dock to Dealer via CEVA
Interstate Car Transport Services | Car Transporters | Car Transport Australia | CEVA Car Carrying
Just Add the VIN with "VID": https://cevacarcarrying.com.au/vehicle-tracking/

Do they do the trucking for all ships? How did you find out?

No, there are other carriers, however Ceva have been contracted with Ford Aust since 2021. Previous to that it was Prixcar.

Sorry what i meant to say was, do they transport the Fords from every ship

As far as I know, yes, as they have the FoA contract.

It may not show until your car has cleared Customs.

Tortugas is still bobbing about around Gosford, awaiting a birth at Newcastle, since its redirection from Pt Kembla on 01/01/25 - yet there is still no "Arrival Date" set or recorded.

Well, if it helps, there are two Blue Ember Dark Horses for sale at Etheridge Ford, Ringwood. One auto with Recaros and one manual with standard seats.

No it does not help, at least in my case, as my preferred configuration of an Atlas Blue GT 10Sp Paddle Shift with heated & cooled adjustable Standard Seats, is also bobbing about in the torturous Tortugas, going nowhere!

Jealous that you guys have cars in Aus waters. Mine's somewhere in the Indian Ocean, but at least its not affected by the recall and ETA to the dealer is still 4/2/25

Sorry to hear that, strange that it did not tale the standard journey from Baltimore through the Panama Canal.

I suspect it's literally the last shipment of MY 24.5 Mustangs going to market, a bit of of an odds and sods basket - like the singles table at a wedding

You could be right, when was yours built, MY25 Job #1 was 04/11/24.

Mine was built 04/10/24 and shipped 13/11/24 (not a good omen as it turned out with the torturous Tortugas lol)

Tortugas finally has a Docking booking after being diverted from Pt Kembla to Pt Newcastle on 01 Jan25, for Wednesday 08 Jan @ 10pm at Pt Newcastle - after 5 days of frustrating mystery.
