Default Have VIN, and TYD has me at Emden, loaded by 15 April.. now to figure out which ship

My rough timeline for my first Porsche -

Drove a Guard's red 6 speed CGTS4.0 in March 2021. Dropped my inclination to get a Taycan immediately and search for allocations.
Put down deposit at selected dealer in July 2021. Got allocation early September for an April 2022 delivery.
Felicity Ace rebuilds slotted ahead of my build, Putin's folly, etc and April delivery turned to 10 June.
Sitting at Scheduled for Production for months, moved to and fro.
Learned on 8 April: that Production was complete 7 April. Also it was Ready for Transport, and Arrived at Emden on 7 April.
Arrived at Emden 8 April.
To be On Vessel by 15 April.
Delivery at Atlanta PEC on 27 May.

Any ship sleuths out there that can catch me up on determining which one I am on a week from now, much appreciated!

Thank you @ausgang for this list of candidates for my CGTS sitting at Emden awaiting a Vessel:

Really got lucky besides some late info on TYD everything went smoothly. I dont know if these will be current delivery times but it seems like Porsche is building right along with all the issues of the world today
Look promising.

do you think your delivery got expedited to make the end of quarter sale by PCNA?

The transatlantic wait continues… but… today I took my ‘04 330i ZHP to a new (to me) Cars and Coffee meet up. Parked next to another BMW just because, and maybe about 20 cars show up. Thirty minutes into the event and people heard there was a bigger turnout at another Coffee and Cars event about 15 minutes away, and everyone starts to fire up to head out. I casually asked the guy next to me if he was heading there as well, and he says “No there is a PCA Show and Shine meet-up about 10 minutes from here and the cars should start pulling in soon…”. Needless to say I get the details and follow my new best friend to the meet up.

Probably about 40 p-cars there and in pulls a single 718 Spyder in Chalk. It was absolutely breath taking in person, and the owner was incredibly nice chatting with me about all the details for 20 minutes. Even offered to let me sit in it to try out the bucket seats but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. 🤣. Pictures are great, but the emotional response in person was just so strong. Epic day. The wait continues. 😅

Looks like the free sites lose track of ship position once they move away from shore (unless you pay). Are there sites that give open ocean position gratis? Trying to find the Gral San Martin.

You can get a free trial, I didn’t bother, I started monitoring the port arrivals.

I use the MarineTraffic app and pay the $0.99 for 24 hour access every once in a while.

Awesome Spec! Congrats on the car!
I have a Guards Red BGTS 4.0 (my first Porsche too) on order with PFAFF Porsche with a freeze date of 29/04/2022.
Mind guiding me how the dates changed (or not) with everything going on? My dealer is not very clear but has given me a confirmed V200 status.

Freeze date buddies...i've got a freeze date of 29/04/22 but for Canada. SA provided a 22nd July estimated delivery but says it could be sooner since Porsche is giving conservative estimates.

Try the SHIP FINDER app. Works great, once you know your ship, and then you can irritate your friends with screenshot texts every 2 minutes showing it's progress out of Emden and down through the English Channel. Once it hits the Atlantic you lose it.

For those on Glovis Supreme, it’s chugging along at 14.5 kn. Seems to be heading SSW before likely turning for a more direct line to Columbia. ETA in Columbia reported as 4/19.

You've had a hell of a run… if we were closer I’d buy you a coffee, but for now the satellite position of your ship will have to do. Gral. San Martin looks like it’s just past Ireland headed into open water (almost due south of Iceland). Heading to Davisville with a reported ETA of April 19th.

Same freeze date but my dealer is near Baltimore, so maybe mine will be even sooner? Early/Mid July delivery would be nice.

Ha, thanks, Todd. I take it you paid the gps location fee. So, that gets you 24 hours for 99 cents?
