Vessel Tracker shows a large number of ships waiting north of the canal waiting to get through.
Cannot tell you todays wait period, but back in 2020 the ship our 992 was on sat for five days....

My TYD and app show that my car is stuck in factory purgatory. So I stopped by the dealership. Turns out my car finished production on April 20th and seems to be stuck at the factory waiting for a ride to Emden. Who knows at this point? Perhaps it's actually on a boat to Benicia at this point. 😖

Glovis Supreme took 11 days to get through the north end, then anchored for a day then went through the south end and then anchored for another 1 or 2 then headed south 2 days to a port and back and then had a 4 day refueling on the south side of the canal. Rhyme... reason... I have no idea.

Grand Champion got to the north side 2 days after Hestia Leader and it just went through the canal today and is already heading to its next destination. Seems very ship dependent on wait times through the canal.

Yeah, that’s what I thought was happening. No real way to tell which ships go or when.
Frustration running high with the finish line so tantalizingly close. Thanks for answering.

The Grand Champion spent a day docked outside then went through this morning.

So, not sure what happened but from yesterday to today, TMD just added 45 days to my build! I hope it is a mistake and that it will be corrected but if not, WTH!


My build locked weeks ago and I did not make any changes weeks before it locked so I can't be blamed. Did a Russian missile hit a factory?

Yep. I think if you have a “reservation” for a time slot you go right through… right now I think the wait is hovering around 8-11 days still. Here’s the link to wait times: Panama Ship Service - Wait Times.

Congratulations on the purchase. I think you won the Porsche lottery. My SA told me that they are receiving multiple offers starting around $100k over sticker on Targas because there simply are no more slots to be had. Personally I have owned 911s and Cayman/Boxsters and found I preferred the mid-engine design for tracking, but if I was going to buy a 911, then a Targa it would be. Beautiful car!
