This is dated…we just were notified earlier today that we’re on the SFL Conductor which left Emden at 2:23pm UTC…9:23am EST, our stop in Jacksonville isn’t noted on the attached spreadsheet.
I don't know if this helps or hurts others in the waiting room, but here's something: I’ve sort of gotten used to the TYD being almost worse than useless, judging by the reports here over the past year. In Canada, we don't even get TYD, and maybe that's a blessing.
I always thought the sales guys’ Porsche Vehicle Management System V-code reports were the gold standard. But even they seem to be wonky in their accuracy.
I got an update on February 24 for my CGTS4, which indicated the “Actual Date” for V334 (“Exit factory compound Kornwestheim”) was Feb 15.
My update today, Mar 11, says V334 “Actual Date” became Feb 25.
So the “actual date” actually changed. “Actual Date” is apparently not so “actual,” but more not actual.
Here's my Feb 24 update:
Here's my Mar 11 update:
Anyway, for anybody who is roughly in the same actual date area, and destined for an east coast North American port, I have calculated that my ship will be the SiemAristotle, which is mid-Atlantic right now heading eastward to Emden, arriving there on the 20th.

Thanks, assuming that will be my ship as well into Halifax. Sure gets a lot more exciting when your car is nearing the final stretch.
The Siem Confucius just left Baltimore but my TYD still says “On Vessel” and it continues to track the boat so now it looks like I’m getting farther and farther from the dealer and heading towards Mexico . It probably just hasn’t updated to say I’m going through port processing yet….It’s almost like they designed TYD just to stress us out!

My car is/was on the Siem Confucious and my TYD shows "On Vessel" as well heading further away from Baltimore. The ship was moored on Sparrows Point, MD yesterday and I thought it was because of the current storm. Does anyone know if they unload vehicles at that port?
