Hey TwinTurbo, I have a car on the Rhea Leader as well. If you check the arrival schedule for Port Hueneme, Rhea Leader is scheduled in port on 12/18 and 12/19 to off load BMW's. Checking the SWA schedule, it appears for some reason, vessels headed to San Diego go to Port Hueneme first. San Diego schedule is out to the 27th and no Rhea Leader? Who knows??
Cristobol Port info on RL just unlocked & says ETA is 12-13-2018 Time 00:00 LT (UTC-5)
I think LT= local time.
All zeros may mean midnight? Panama time is 2 hours ahead of me. (AZ) So, maybe 10PM TH, my time?
I can’t see RL on any website scheduled arrival, SD port, w/o joining/registering/paying yet.
@ Summer32, Re Port Hueneme. If RL goes there, it must be after SD port. It is much further North.

RL on the arrival calendar 12-21-2018.

Going back to one of my earlier posts, RL is scheduled to drop off BMWs at Port Hueneme the day before returning South to drop off VWs at San Diego ... yes, that seems flipped over but alas that apparently is often how it is scheduled. Maybe those folks from Bavaria pay a premium to the shipping company to get ahead of the competition 
Some cars from Benicia reached the Beaverton dealership yesterday and at least one is scheduled for customer delivery today ... alas, mine is not that car and I've no confirmation as of yet if mine was in that first group of cars delivered to Portland. There happens to be all three VW-branded dealerships aligned together on this street so likely multiple trucks likely heading to the area.

MarineTraffic.com shows RL, as of 14 minutes ago, off the coast between Barranquilla & Cartagena, Columbia. Headed for Panama Canal.

My understanding as well.
This whole experience is so nerve-racking. Saundebn and Tom T, you are so close to delivery, looking forward to both of you posting photos.
TwinTurbo420, fingers crossed that even with a 12/21 arrival in SD, we might get lucky and receive delivery before year end.

It is nerve-racking, CraigW1, but we must remember it is a 1st world problem! ;-) Will definitely post pictures from PEC ATL. And hoping you guys get your cars before year end as pre-new year presents.
God bless,

Just spoke to my SA:
My T is still slotted for a 18 DEC '18 arrival on HOEGH BANGKOK (currently cutting through the Gulf Stream about 24 hrs out from a offload in Jacksonville, FLA) in Houston, and a delivery "about a week" after. According to him, interestingly, the Ts receive a PDI similar to GT cars there that usually takes a little longer to get everything through and is a bit more thorough. This is just a few days off of the OG original delivery date when my build first went V200 back in July. Pretty cool.
Apparently, the possible delays at port affecting the GT cars, discussed in other threads, are not plaguing other P cars. At least not yet... And it seems to be just the 3RS cars, as they just got in/delivered a 2RS.
He'd heard nothing further from Porsche Corporate concerning tariffs or anything relating to them such as delays, possible actions by Porsche, etc., so nothing further officially on that at this point and he did not seem to be too concerned. I know that he would be even more worried about tarrifs should they be forthcoming than we are, given the dramatic impact on his livelihood. So, take that for what it is worth.
More to follow as I have it...

SA says it's showing it left, but not the boat name yet, but we know that has to be Bishu! This means I should get her before the end of the year which makes me very happy since I have some time off to enjoy her! Glad to hear others are on Bishu as well!

Well. the wait is almost over ... just got word that my car has safely arrived and I can pick it up tomorrow afternoon! 
It certainly has been a long wait, starting back from when I ordered the car in May. I've added my schedule summary to the sticky thread intended for that purpose:
https://rennlist.com/forums/991/6878...n-of-info.html.
Once delivery is complete tomorrow, I'll certainly drop a pic from the event on this thread.

Hmm, not too impressed with your SA's communications skills ... seems you should press for a bit more information since your car could potentially already sitting on the lot. And Shanghai Highway is already about 1/3 of the way to Japan by now.
