Default Who's stuck in Emden?

Anyone seem to be stuck in Emden forever? I am supposed to be on Firmament Ace to Brunswick but it seems the ship is stuck outside of Vigo port and hasn't moved since 10th?

I'm stuck in Emden, over 2 weeks now. Firmament Ace is in the English Channel on the way to Belgium, then I guess on to Emden.

We need to hijack a ship and get our cars over here now, now, now!

Ryan,

Sounds as if we'll be on same boat....

I am told that Firmament Ace had an major mechanical issue that held it up it just off coast for a few days. I guess as you already know it's delayed to Emden. Maybe it will make up some time from Beligum port to Emden.

My Cayman GTS (black with blue interior) is coming to Park Place TX via Houston. Its been in Emden for around 10 days now. Painful!

@rockitman my SA told me yesterday that the depart date was also 12/19. That said I heard elsewhere Florida Highway ship left Emden last night...I wonder if we made that per chance?

VW logistics schedule shows Firmament Ace due at Brunswick on 2 Jan 15. Backing off 10 days for travel and a couple days for loading puts the ship into Port Emden 20-22 December 14. 5 days or more late to the 15 December 14 dock date.

Wonder if on ground logistics will makeup for it stateside?
