They usually have a good team. I am in Austin (Avery Ranch) and have done a lot of training on my road bike out there. I never see any 911 up north, so hopefully I will see you guys around!

6-1-0 right now. 3-0-0 in league. Go Panthers!
That said, I’m a Water Polo guy...

I posted, and I didn't say 16 mph. I said 16 per hour (and the context was "it is 1100 nautical miles from San Diego, and going at speed 16 per hour").

Hard to tell what you were saying so I took a guess. Anyway, I found that my ship did not update its track for 30 hours. "Oscar" is moving to the northeast so it may have to change course to the south a bit albeit ETA to Davisville is still 11/5.

You can get up-to-date location (usually hourly updates via satellite) via fleetmon.com.

I've been anxiously watching what I hope is my ship, Shanghai Highway, bounding all around Europe going port-to-port presumably dumping out all of its imports to Europe so that it can finally get to Emden empty and ready to take on a full load of VW product. At one point, it was clearly docked at a large Toyota receiving center in Belgium.

Still keeping my fingers crossed that this is the ship that will have space for my P-car.

My guess is that it will stop in Emden after Bremerhaven, and then head to North America.

In my case, Fremantle Highway did something a bit weird - Bremerhaven - Emden - Southampton - Zeebruge - Halifax. But in your case, it already stopped at Zeebruge few days ago.

My final port is San Diego indeed. My sales told me it could take up to 2 weeks at the port. Hopefully that's not the case here. :P
I too was told around 7-10 days. The landed in Rhode Island, went through customs, and was delivered to Porsche's warehouse for PPF and Ceramic in 2 days. It could happen much sooner than 2 weeks for you.

The ships rapidly go out of tracking range and then appear again when they are just about or in port.

I would not worry about space. These autoliners can transport up to 8,000 cars at a time.

Oh no... My car just went to "NA13 Port handling - Body work"

I wonder how long it will stay in the port, I wonder want was damaged?

SA said he will get details. I'm not going to worry at this point but some delay.

Anyone else hit NA13 Port handling - Body work"

How did you obtain that status/detail? If from SA, are they able to print out all those details and status changes at delivery?

Porsche does not give you the ability to pull it yourself so you have to ask the SA. I asked my guy at each status change. I want to see how estimates and actuals change during the process.

Yes you can ask for it and it will have all the dates and status change.

Sucks! But better for them to catch it than you, for sure. Assuming this isn't anything, based on your SA flagging, that needed to be installed in Houston upon arrival? You didn't opt for anything like that did you? If not, hopefully something small and inconsequential...
