The problem as I see it is there's a large log jam of vessels waiting to get in so there could be delays even if the vessel arrives on time.
We'll have a good idea based on how the Dong-A-Metis unloading goes on 2/19.

Updated port of SD schedule shows the Equuleus Leader arriving in port on 2/25 and departing later in the same day. If that is true and if it only takes 1-3 days to transport the cars after they are unloaded, we could have our cars at so cal dealers by the end of the month.

It's probably going to be a bit hectic getting back to normal. Hope you get your cars in a timely fashion.

Looks like there is a second car carrier now arriving on 2/25 so it may get a bit crowded.

Now it shows 3 car carriers arriving that day, all between 4 and 5 am. Hopefully the dock workers will work extra hard given their new contract.

Ah, I missed that. So they're no longer on strike?

They agreed to terms of a new contract last night.

Oh! Awesome. I was worried. Granted, there's a huge backlog to unload now...

She is off san Diego already. We are ahead of schedule. Now its time for those boys to unload our cars.

According to my dealer, my arrival date to dealer was pushed early from 3/27 to 3/15.

Where's your dealer?

Boat is still not in CA coastal waters yet (per Marine Traffic). Should hit San Diego on schedule, if not a few hours ahead of schedule, if there is a spot to dock at (original schedule was 6am tomorrow).
