So the Gral San Martin is now expected in Emden tomorrow (Apr 7). Meaning my car can get on. How long do they typically stay in port? This might advance my delivery by over a week!

I'm not sure what's typical. My GT4 arrived on the 31th and on a ship by the 5th. Based on other people's experiences that might be a faster than usual turnaround.
For those who are on it. Glovis Supreme is about half way through the english channel, currently passing Portsmouth.
@SpyderSenseOC did you get on Supreme? I see Glovis Champion is in Bremerhaven which would be a detour for you.

That's crazy. The Glovis Champion just left Emden and it appears my car is not on it, unless TYD is not updating my status promptly.
I've been at port in Emden since March 21st and have now seen three vessels come and go. Grand Legacy, Glovis Supreme and Glovis Champion. Glovis Champion is in Bremerhaven now but it departed from Emden so I doubt it's headed back there.
Fack!

Sorry to hear that. I thought for sure we would be on the same boat. Hopefully it's TYD not updating correctly. Time to reach out to your SA.

I am in constant contact with my sales guy and his statement to me yesterday was that track your dream often updates before his system, so he has yesterday’s news for all the guys like us who are watching like hawks.
I have a feeling I’m going to get a new update that tells me my car is already on one of the boats. At least I’m hoping so anyway. Because I don’t see another vessel coming around the bend. My delivery date at the dealership did get pushed back from May 13 to May 27 but even those dates don’t align very well with any of the shipping schedules I’ve seen.
I have been monitoring this thread for months, originally with a PEC Atlanta delivery for early April. Sliding has occurred approximately 3x. TYD now says Production started 25 March, Estimate for CP8.0 on 29 April. Delivery for 10 June...
Anyone else in a similar 'boat' with Production start confirmed on time (25 Mar) but then the Production complete/CP8.0 extended ~4 weeks a couple days after the Estimate CP8.0 of was 1 April?

Trying to be patient

One characteristic of TYD that seems to hold true is that it is far better at putting a date on completion of a step over updating the schedule on when the next step should be expected to be achieved. It is highly likely your CP8.0 date will be much sooner. Then you'll be wondering why TYD will next predict the trip to the Port of Emden will take weeks......
Since your production started almost two weeks ago, it would be a good time to call your SA and see what the PVMS says. He'll likely have your VIN and even more info. Yes, there could be delays, but throughput seems to be surprisingly better than many of us would have predicted given the circumstances.
Anyone have an idea how long a car stays in port? It arrived on 3/29, and now that it's so close, it's hard to be patient.

If it sits for an extended time, there may have been a problem with PDI.
In Fall of 2021, some of the cars were held in port while waiting for TPMS modules that weren't available at the time the car was built/shipped. These were shipped separately later and installed at port. Eventually they switched and started having the dealers hold them for installation (mine was one of those). If the port hold is running long it MAY be waiting for a part that is expected to be available soon. It was my understanding that the dealers were informed if this was the case; so your SA should know.
After all the busting we do on TYD for sandbagging each step and giving implausible completion dates way out in the future, one has to appreciate that SIEM Car Carriers Group is different:
The latest update on Siem Aristotle below has her sailing TODAY from the Port of Baltimore and arriving YESTERDAY in Jacksonville. Now, THAT is fast!
Thank you @ausgang . In touch with the SA, sitting at V260 (since at least 2 April...) and did ask him for an update in time to see it go to V250, and V210.
Does anyone in Canada have a way of tracking the trains as they cross the country? I know it's probably a bit of a reach, but figured I'd ask. Expected to leave Halifax on 04/15 with dealer arrival in Vancouver on 04/29.
