where can I find this official bulletin?

 

Call your dealership. It was an internal email they received.

 

Pleas post how long your vehicle is in Jax before it gets on a truck….we’re the next ship arriving in Jacksonville…early April.

 

Just got this...

 

Some interesting tidbits from 2012 New York Times piece on vehicle carriers:

The spacing between the cars is just as critical. Just 30 centimeters, about a foot, separate the front and rear bumpers of the cars, and there is a gap of some 6 inches from side to side. The mirrors are folded in to make more room.

Each vehicle is lashed with a minimum of four nylon tie-down straps that are looped through removable hooks at the bumpers or on the frame. (Larger vehicles need more straps, as do those parked perpendicular to the keel, a placement that lets the body move more on its suspension.) The clasps at the other end of the straps are attached to holes or rings on the floor. The straps are so taut that the cars barely budge — a good thing, because if even one car comes loose and ricochets around a deck, it can cause millions of dollars in damage.

Just got word from my guy at the dealer, my car has been release to Transport. It was at port for 1-2 days before being released. Now waiting on a truck to get it shipped to the dealer. We should know by Monday when it will arrive at the dealer(I’ll keep y’all posted). Ideally car should be at dealer mid next week if we get a quick transport.

 

Fantastic news thanks for sharing. Hopefully others are either right there with you or following along shortly!

 

So do we know which ship had issues?

It sounds like SFL Composer.

 

A good friend has a GTS cab on The Composer. His dealer ( who has treated him exceptionally well for years), has just told him this “ story”. Damage seems to be “superficial”. (Sure, with 4000 lb. Cars bouncing all over.. nothing a little compound won’t take care of) Will be be fixed at port . Huh? Supposedly dealers don’t have information on specific cars, so no one knows if they are affected. Seems to me, they are “spoon feeding “ the bad news…. Sort of like…. Yes, there seems to be a small issue on The Felicity Ace…

 

That would infuriate me. "Superficial" . I hope for your buddies sake all is good with his car.

 

Here's the latest from Porsche. The Composer is the boat. They are removing "all" ( I'm not sure what all means) the cars from the boat to access the damage. Stay tuned.

 

Do you know if they're doing this in Davisville or it will depart and do this in Houston?

 

to me, chipped paint isn’t superficial on a six figure car.

 

I would think all means all the vehicles on the ship, not just the ones being dropped off at the first stop in Rhode Island…..
