The Dynamica will load the Apaches in the harbour of Mannheim probably on Thursday and unload them at Lampertheim the day after (early morning). From there they will be trucked to Coleman.

I now understand that the Dynamica has already loaded the Apaches and is on it's way to the birth place where
it should be with in the next 2 hours.
Haven't received confirmation that it will be offloaded tonight, but believe this to be the case.

Could very well be Gijs. I understood it was loaded between 8 and 12 this morning (14th)
and headed North after this. I didn't witness this myself, unfortunately :|

From 598th Transportation Brigade's (SDDC - US Army) most recent newsletter http://translog.armylive.dodlive.mil/fi ... -small.pdf :
The dispositioning plan that MCT-Rotterdam had
arranged consisted of the barge Dynamica having
to sail up and down from Antwerp to Lampertheim,
taking on 16 helicopters at a time. The
blade boxes had already been moved inland by
barge Vera which, due to ramp constraints, could
not be used for the helicopters.
