Sadly she's been stuffing about off the coast of Canada for a few days and my dealer now screams "C'mon Bessy" whenever I call him...

The bess is in port. Here's a shot of the location. It is the little green box.

The Bess left Halifax and looks like it will be in Davisville tomorrow (11/21). It was in Halifax for only 5.5 hours.

And why would you have an interest in that ship?

I'm having great fun tracking it. I will lose interest in it probably by tomorrow though. How many others here have a car on it?

There's a chance my car is on the Bess. I'll find out tomorrow. Most likely on the next ship out.

It looks like it won't land in Davisville until late Saturday EST. How long does it typically take for the cars to get inspected and loaded onto a carrier once the ship is in port?

Not sure but my SA just texted me back the GT3's sometimes take a little more time in port...I am trying to work a courtesy delivery with my local dealer and both are OK with it just the logistics are tough....things need to be in place before the car hits port...

I've had it take anywhere from 1 week to 5 weeks. The longer time frame is with newer models (my wife's Macan as an example) where customs can cause delays. Hope this doesn't happen with the new bucket seats due to 918 deliveries, but wouldn't be surprised.

Mine is on the BESS. When offloaded it will be transported by Porsche in an enclosed carrier to Tacoma,WA for my courtesy delivery and pdi. Car is going cross country without any mileage. Once build sheet was locked could not change ship to a west coast one.

Once you have the ship info you can plot its course.
