Hey, I have the similar date which my TYD is showing a 4/26 depart Emden date. Our car should be on the same boat.

Almost for certain it is on the SFL Conductor. 1st stop Davisville, then Jacksonville, then on to Houston.

Would you mind to share how did you know their stops after Davisville? Trying to learn how to track this vessel route.

You can pay for the upgraded tracking that tells the ships destined ports, otherwise it will only show the next port it is going. I did not pay for the upgraded tracking, but my dealer said those were the ports they had listed for it. I also saw it listed somewhere as past ports it stopped, but can't find that tracker. Here is tracking for the SF Conductor on one of the marine tracking sites mentioned here before. FYI it is not following the generic line in the AP...

Congrats! Probably just rolling a few days behind mine. Hopefully TYD sends you photos shortly.

I saw a post yesterday in the Taycan site that the Lake Taupo (which also departed Emden yesterday) is his ship and it is going straight to Jacksonville. Lake Taupo is not on any schedule I can find. I assume my GT4 is on either the SFL Conductor or the Lake Taupo. Don’t know how to determine which one.

Interesting. The Volkswagen Export Schedule (can be seen on an earlier post somewhere) shows that the SFL Conductor was supposed to go to DavisVille, then Baltimore, then Houston. No Jacksonville. I wonder if they flipped things around. I thought my car was probably going to be on the SFL Conductor, but it is going to Baltimore. Now I'm wondering if there is a chance my car could be on a ship that was originally not going to Baltimore.

I know I'll get my car at some point, the wait is just making me go crazy. I sold my 981 a few weeks ago and now I kinda wish I had kept it another month.

Once your car is loaded on a ship your SA can see the vessel name in PSVMS. Shoot him a text…

I'm on the Taupo as well.

If you have access to TYD via a computer web browser, it is pretty easy to find which ship you are on.

Thanks for the tip. My SA just confirmed my car is on the Lake Taupo going straight from Emden to Jacksonville.

This ship is not one I can find has routinely transported Volkswagen cars, so I'm guessing they've secured additional vessels to clear out the backlog of 2023s so they can get delivered before 2024s start being produced. Just a guess, but in any even thrilled the car is finally on the water!
