If you’re not at port already, there’s almost no chance. The good news is that since ships are starting to flow you won’t get stuck at port for a mandatory month wait like we did.

Fingers crossed but you are probably right, mine was scheduled to build 1 day before shutdown...

Hopefully one of the ships is headed to the east coast/south and one to the west coast.

I expect so as its the usual route for the VQ but.... The VQ is tied up along side Glovis Solomon at VAGs alternate loading dock so looks like they are preparing a few loading sites possibly to speed things?

I was wondering about that. Thats good to hear that they can load from two different sites. Sounds like things are happening!
Once I see the ships take off. I'll ask my SA for an update.

Shout out to blackholescion, I noted your post at the beginning of the thread intro on the how to find the PWL schedule screen shots you added. Hope you don't mind its a great add helps point it out to others on the never ending search which I expect will continue well beyond our days.

I am sure that once your car arrives the memories of the wait will disappear, delivery is the for sure cure for a Porsche order!

More good news to report out of Emden the Glovis Solomon has loaded and is off to Belgium and maybe beyond into some more EU ports? It's the first VAG car carrier to be loaded since the shut down, so it looks like the word on the street that things will come alive this week are coming true. Now come on Viking Queen!

Looks like the intel about the Goodwood is proving to be spot on as its now listed as expected at port in Emden in the next 1-2 days? This means that it is the first confirmed departure for a NA bound carrier being Thursday May 7. Do not have a port of call list but the RL member was in NC so maybe that helps our US peeps to narrow down at least one stop RI or FL?

I'm in NC but getting my car (as of now) at the PEC in Atlanta. Jacksonville is much closer than Davisville to NC so I would expect all cars coming to the Southeast being dropped in Jacksonville.

Thanks blackholescion that narrows it down then. If the regular PWL sched is correct (sorry fellow Canucks) it should include stops in Davisville RI, Jacksonville FL, Houston TX & Veracruz MX. Anyone near those ports are our lucky winners of the Monday Emden Boat Regatta sweepstakes congrats! Stay tuned for more draws....

OK if original PWL schedule holds then canucks should be up next after Goodwood!

...unless Viking Queen is already being loaded since it has been docked since friday.

I think you are right Titan475. The VQ has been docked for just over 48hrs which is the regular load time so I'm hoping she pulls ropes very soon? If not I'm coming south to drive someones
