I going to reach out to my SA today as well; can't take the suspense any longer

I told my SA about the Sunrise Ace sailing from Emden on 11/3 and that I was confident my car was on that ship. He checked and in fact the car was V332 on 11/3. ETA Brunswick is 11/18 but ship ETA Charleston is almost a day behind schedule. I think we'll have our cars before the holiday.

It appears my Targa is traveling with your cars. I just checked Marine Traffic.com
http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/...el:SUNRISE_ACE
and it shows arrival in Charleston at 2:00 am LT on the 21st (21 Nov @ 0700 UTC). So it seems things have slipped a few days.

Unless there is bad weather the crossing takes 10-12 days depending on the POE on the East Coast. I was surprised that the Sunrise Ace is making 12 knts in those crowded shipping lanes.

Delaying entry to the North Atlantic due to weather, ahead of schedule, waiting for another ship to cross with, frustrate new car owners tracking ship, fondness for English coastline Take your pick.

Well said......but she's heading southwest now at almost 18 kts showing Charleston in 9 days.

Looks like the Sunrise is running behind a couple of days? Says ETA to Charleston is 11-19, Hopefully it makes it to Brunswick the same day. Usually how long do these cars wait for pick up to dealer?

Approximately 1-2 weeks from the boat arrival to delivery to the dealer.

Thanks, My SA is telling me it should be at the store on Dec 5th. Sounds pretty accurate!

There are a lot of variables. My 09 C2S Cab arrived in Brunswick on a Monday and I took delivery of the car on Thursday. The PDI may be done the same day the boat docks or it may be done a week later. The car may catch a truck right after the PDI is done or wait a week. Two weeks from the boat docking is the long end of the spectrum unless the car fails the PDI for some reason.
