Is it just me, or am I starting to feel like many ppl on here buy multiple cars to land right back in the waiting room?! Im going to be very busy out on B-Roads once I take delivery, but my day-2-day work schedule will have a large void to fill without me hitting refresh on TYD/VesselTracker every chance I can get

We are but a small country when it comes to the number of Porsches sold, there might have been other VAG cars on the ship as well, still they are usually in and out in less than a day. It is also the only port of entry for Porsche VW and Audi to Canada.

Also, if they're not available through this method, then you wont have photos to extract.

Thank you!! I'm passing this along! And on your next post, you aren't kidding that was a short stop in Halifax and glad to see it's on the move again!

Okay, I've gotta ask: How did a Philly guy come to use the term B-Roads?
Putting aside references to the U.K. momentarily, I'd have to say this time of year PennDOT only offers D- and F-Roads.

Lets just say that the Brits put out a lot more YouTube content on the 4.0 than here in the States.
Conditions wise, I wont be giving the GT4 the "BEANS" until we see a few heavy rains around these parts, post last road salting. I'm also putting on a set MP4S within the first week of ownership, and I'll be posting my CUP 2's for sale (local preferred).

My family lives up in Bucks County (Doylestown/Newtown), so I'll be out and about in that area often once I take delivery. See you around!

Just found out my Spyder is on the San Martin that departed Emden yesterday. Any travel partners out there?

Well, if the ship sinks, I hope his car saves a spot on a lifeboat for mine!

How long have others seen the port delays at Emden take recently?

My GT4 arrived in Emden February 3rd…

Waiting for a San Diego bound ship.

Danggg. Mine is still at the port in Davisville. Not sure what the hold up is. Freaking car was stuck for 2 months in Emden and now it’s stuck at RI. SMH….

My GTS is headed to Benicia… been in Emden since December 8th or so… and it’s still there… missed 3 boats headed to the west coast so far.

Wow, no wonder Porsche provides a warning about port delays but no time estimate.

I would have assumed days to weeks. Not months.

How are you able to find vessel information and know if your car is on that specific ship?

Schedules can be found on PWL here: https://www.pwl.de/en

Scroll down to shipping portal, choose east/west coast and the Hyundai/Glovis option to see the current schedules. Typically the Porsche tracking will update a few days after the boat leaves Emden and your dealer (in my case since I have a Cayenne GTS) or TYD will tell you if you made it on the boat or not.

I found a lot of detail over in this thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/992-gt3-...l#post18618537

Where is the dealer your car is going to? After the supreme ace docked in Davisville it went straight to Jacksonville where my car off loaded. I was stuck in Emden for 3 weeks. Hope your luck changes.
