Shipping schedule Emden - USA
#933
well that’s disconcerting. Mine is just a Macan S so I don’t have the TYD. I just have to email my SA and get updates. He hasn’t given me one in a couple of days. I plan on giving him until Monday before I ask for any info as they probably won’t have any until then really. I don’t think they will know the extent of damage until offloading in Houston.

SFL Composer Update:
+ My car is on the ship along with several of RL'ers here.
+ The ship hit some very heavy weather during it's crossing.
+ SFL Composer is now in the Gulf of Mexico and will be docking in 2 days
+ After docking, Porsche USA will be hand inspecting and driving all cars remaining aboard to inspect for damage.
+ As noted above, the weather was so heavy that "numerous" cars were dislodged in the cargo hold -- either hitting the inside of the ship or other cars.
+ Porsche USA will be making a car-by-car determination as to their fitness for delivery or whether repairs can be made to damaged cars (or not).
+ This is setting back any deliveries coming from the Houston port to potentially 2-4 weeks late -- if you are lucky enough to have a deliverable car.
I guess the broader question is, in an era of more extreme weather, will this become more and more of an issue re: cars coming from Germany/Europe?
While more expensive, should the loading/shipping of these cars be handled differently as a result?
More later. FYI and good luck to each of you.

Sort of related, how were the lost cars from Felicity Ace handled? Did all the customers get new orders in and were distributed among the current ones or back to the end of the queue?

Mine is showing 2023 also. Not sure if this is a "all cars get bumped way back" or if there has been some individual determination as to the condition of each car -- notably ours.
Hmmmm....
EDIT: SA says that ALL cars on the SFL Composer got the +100-150 day TYD bump until more is known after car-by-car inspections that should commence late this week as the boat gets unloaded in Houston.

Maybe someone on the SFL Conductor left their cell phone back in Emden and they had to turn around? At least she made it stateside. Next stop, Baltimore before getting loaded up on a truck destined for Cincinnati

point that someone who has a car on the Composer is cursed.
maybe it’s me.

Wish I could be so lucky. My GT3 arrived in Jax and I’ve been waiting, checking hourly but so far the dream tracker says it’s still waiting for a truck.
My dealer is in Kingsport TN some 430ish miles north. I’d Love to see it this weekend. The last few days have been the hardest so far.

That is exactly what is keeping my hopeful, there were almost 700 Porsches offloaded in Rhode Island, surely we would have heard something by now.

I'm hoping you are right, my dates have changed again on TYD, car is due in Baltimore on 4-15 now, so hopefully they are in the process of loading our cars on Aristotle. Aristotle wasn't originally scheduled to go to Baltimore but maybe they added the stop to their schedule.
