You can say that again, and I feel that way after only a 12 month wait!!! I feel like when car finally arrives to dealership, I need to have my wife smash a bottle of champagne over front bumper for good luck....of course it must actually arrive to do that?

On the Altair Leader as well, hoping the voyage to San Diego (and then SF Bay Area) will go smoothly!

Just got an update from my SA, Porsche Transportation Manager says my car is schedule for transport on the Camellia Ace loading 22/23 Dec at Emden. Not good news, looks like Firmament Ace has disappeared from the Porsche Transport Schedule - must not be healthy enough for a cross Atlantic voyage.

Now my arrival at Brunswick is 1/8 so delivery at my dealer on 1/9 is highly unlikely.

I guess as Ryan was already told the Firmament Ace is no longer heading to Brunswick...at least not soon.

My Car has been in V331 (Entry to Emden) since Dec 16. I checked VW logistics and it shows no ships bound to San Diego until Jan 11 or so . How often does VW logistics update with the schedule of departing ships?

Do the ships stop at San Diego then NCAL? I was thinking that all CA cars got off in San Diego and were trucked / train up to NCAL if needed. I hope I'm wrong.

Mine arrived on the 15th, headed for SD as well. My schedule has reported it leaving Emden on the 26th for quite a while. No idea how accurate those estimates are.

Correct, all cars will be unloaded in San Diego and then trucked up to NorCal.
I conservatively expect ~2-3 weeks from docking in San Diego until the car is unleaded at my dealer here.

Thanks. Sounds like Northern California cars have about the longest trip of all

Looks like Im in the same mess with my Audi. Firmament Ace' schedule matched my departure and arrival dates in VAG order status. I saw the wandering at Vigo but saw that the ship finally made it to Emden. Now it seems that they are again wandering about just North of Bremerhaven. I guess I need to call the dealer and find out if my car got put on the 'failboat' while it was in Emden. Firmament Ace was still on the Week 50 schedule. Kinda hoping that Im getting put on Camellia Ace or even better something earlier. The car was sitting in Emden since 12/6. Sigh....

You have probably been moved over to camellia ace by logistics like the rest of us to Brunswick. It's been in Emden loading and should be heading out if it hasn't already.

VW Logistics schedule has been updating weekly on Friday for the last month.
