Larry-
I am sure you experienced the same joys of European Delivery (ED) that I did in 1994 for my 1995 993. But, I am sure you will not suffer my agony.
My delivery from Emden took 9 weeks. The reason was that the boat shifted on route and the right rear quarter panel of the 993 was irreparably damaged on board.
In those days, the southeastern port of entry was Charleston SC. I contacted PCNA and asked if I could inspect the car at the port before taking delivery. I also secured an option to reject the car. I flew to Charleston at 7 AM. I carefully inspected a perfect paint-matching repair over and under. Moreover, the Porsche receiving area was next to the airport so I felt as if I was in a candy store. The car was better than any local body shop could have done. PCNA let me take delivery and drive it home. I showed it to my wife at 3:30 PM.
These days no damage occurs and PCNA does not let you take delivery at the port. My GTS entered Emden on 3/31/2015, exited Emden on 4/12, arrived at Brunswick, GA on 5/1, left Brunswick on 5/5 and I took delivery on 5/7. Just giving you a perspective of dates.
I know that you know how to follow the ship since you have done it before. I agonized when the ship would idle in The Atlantic for 3 days or loaf in Baltimore for 2 days.
I have had the GTS for 3 weeks and I love it. What a classy car! It is not a Cabriolet or a GT3 but it goes like stink and I sit in the garage ogling it.
There should be therapy for Porsche-waiting!

At least I have the GT3 to play with when it all gets too much ...
funny I got a customs bill (all in German) yesterday in the mail for 24eu as some charge for processing the car, so hopefully she is on her way!!!

My car was planned to enter Emden on June 5th going to Davisville, R.I. How do I figure out in what ship it is coming? On the Porsche planning they had exiting Emden on Jun 19th, but that seems to be a long time.

I think the only way to find out would be to check with your sales guy, as it should show up on the internal systems, otherwise you have to figure out
what RoRos leave Emden around the time and check their destinations
