Has your SA given you a schedule yet? The time between the end of the production and the departure of the vessel is usually 7-14 days under normal conditions. For example... my CGTS entered production on 02/09, and left the factory compound on 02/16. A window of 02/18 - 02/25 has been given for departure from Emden. We'll see if that pans out shortly.

Siem Confucius was supposed to depart 02/21 or 02/22 but it's still moored at Emden, so there's still hope that your car will make it on that shipment. You should reach out to your SA for tracking info at the end of the week so you can see if it made the cut.

The next few ships might be leaving with additional fire watch personnel and FF equipment if authorities do not yet know what happenned on Felicity Ace. Siem Confucius is the pride of the fleet, so I'm sure they don't want to take any risks.

Pretty good article here on the ship:

Hi, would you mind PMing me or sharing your build sheet? I'm trying for a GT4 but may accept a GTS40 allocation if that means I get something this year, and my GTS40 specs are close to what you describe, would like to compare against a couple of my configs. The choices between this and GT4 are maddening. One side of me doesn't want to spend the leather money, but not having the car looking plastic is appealing since the whole vibe is a bit more comfort/cruiser.

Is that Python Green Spyder in your avatar your current car? If so, what's making you switch (I am assuming here) from that to a GT4?

That PG spyder is the car I am awaiting. That pic I shamelessly stole from the PG color thread because it so gorgeous.

One step closer. My car was finally scheduled for production yesterday, but this pushed out my delivery date by about two weeks. Hopefully there are no additional delays due to one less shipping vessel available for deliveries to North America.




This isn't good...

Ahh, I missed the fact that the GT4 you commented on was not your car. I've gotta pay closer attention.

I have CCBs and I finally got my dealer to load my final build (I think he got tired of me changing my mind). I'm still showing mid July though.

Why is the SIEM Confucius still sitting in Emden? The anticipation of my car making this ship is driving me bonkers.

My car (GB Spyder) just finished production yesterday but heard from my SA today that shipping is significantly delayed while they find more ships. No delay has officially hit my car yet but he said that he is seeing a month delay across the board on other cars.

I get it but still a bummer…
