I had to call them but I don’t think it’s a scalable strategy because this ship was a different carrier than the normal VW scheduling system, meaning it wasn’t even on the list of future options when mine was sitting in Emden. All that said, the Marine Traffic app is very accurate with the ETA on each scheduled stop. I am being unreasonably neurotic in even going to such lengths, mine should be right on time.
And as @gt3dude said, let’s see how the chips get dispersed.
Thanks. I have accounts on both Vessel Finder and Marine Traffic and am likely a founding member of the neurotic club, so I can relate. Marine Traffic was great in tracking my wife's Macan GTS that arrived about 4 weeks ago and I am sure I will find it useful when my GT3T ships in February. I was just curious how you found a number to call a shipper directly. For example, the Siem Cicero is loading in Emden now. It is owned by Auto Marine Transport Inc - a company registered out of the Cayman Islands. Siem Shipping is headquartered in Kristiansand Norway. I can't find any contact information for either Siem or Auto Marine that would seem to offer any promise of insight into a shipping schedule. I do have an email address for Ingrid Schalk (VWKL Line Manager at PWL) and she has actually been very responsive to inquiries. It would be great if there were a way to find a POC directly with one of the shipping companies or vessel owners. Can you share how you found that information? Thanks again!
The Track Your Dream site now shows my GT3 has completed production as of today and is in transit to Emden. It shows its estimated date for being on vessel as 10/1/21. I have tried downloading a vessel schedule from pwl.de, but the one that downloads only shows August departures from Emden. Does anyone know how to find a September schedule? Thanks!

TYD is all good until your car arrives at port....at that point it will be sitting for weeks and nobody will have a clue when it will get released to dealer. This happened with my Cross Turismo and its happening again with the GT3. Id put away the app and just wait to get the call from you dealer.
My car is now at the Port of Emden. There is one ship (Siem Cicero) in port there now, and it's scheduled to depart tomorrow and arrive in Houston 9/29/21. Another, the Bishu Highway, is set to depart a week later. I just checked with my dealer, and his system shows no open campaigns for my car.

Interesting. The Siem Plato is also in port and had been in a typical loading position for a day now. It has also made runs to Houston as recently as this July but I don't know how to finds its next destination.
Never mind! I just got word from my SA that my GT4 is on the Siem Cicero and coming to Houston soon too. Woot!

lots of us held up in port. Was 9/15 a guess or did he have some intel?
I was told Porsche knows the effect this is having on dealers who have no cars to sell. They are doing all they can to deliver by end of September which is the close of 3q for most dealers financials.

Those what my guy at the dealer told me on Friday , he’s very knowledgeable. Hoping to be released by the 15. Will call tomorrow again and will let you know if there’s any more updates

Mine has a bit of the same with the port from factory lack of updating, was scheduled to leave on 9/3 and left 9/1 but didnt update until 9/7 when it said arrived at Emden Port which is where it is at now on the TYD app. Est. date on vessel is 9/17 which I assume is the Bishu Highway that scheduled to leave then. Has been relatively unchanged the entire process so will see if it stays par the course to delivery.
