I received the email informing that car has left the port. I don't know what is going on because mine was delayed to leave the port on 07/14/23.
That's weird.
I'd use the "F12" hack to check if your 992 is really on a ship.
Finding the ship the car is on (once it has shipped):
It is possible to identify what boat you're on with a bit of web browser knowledge. Assuming you're in chrome on a PC, do this:
Go to the TYD website.
Press the F12 key
Click on the Network tab
In the box to filter the requests type "api.porsche" (with no quotes)
Refresh the page
You should see a number of requests in the list but you want the one that has the name "USMGXXXXX" where XXXXX is your commission number and the type is hr (NOT the one that says preflight). Select that one.
After selecting that one, click on the response tab. You will see a whole bunch of textual (JSON) details about your car.
In those details you will see something like this:” ident":"|MO_9283875"
In a new browser tab, enter the url "https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9283875". But replace the numbers (only the numbers) with the numbers in your data.
That is the ship you're on. Note that anyone can do this and see more data than what the UI shows. You won't get boat data until your car is on a boat obviously.

Thanks! This also proves that others delayed until 07/14 can board the ship; as far as I know, the vessel is still docked. I wish the best for all of you.
David is the manager. My SA also works with him. If they don’t take it, John can send his driver to pick it up. He did it for me.
I know David is the manager. He is amazing and very responsive. I believe I have worn him out on this process. David's team has been great. Refer him without doubt.
She is here and waiting at the dealership. I dont deserve this car. I have several old porsches and have always loved them. I am the PCA 2022 Fall Raffle winner. This has been an amazing experience.
What did you get for being the raffle winner? Did you win the car?!
Graduating from this thread. Special thanks to the guy that provided the free boat tracker so that I was able to check it over and over and over again!
What did you get for being the raffle winner? Did you win the car?!
Yes I won the car. I had to pay the taxes and the upgrades. I added everything. If you arent a PCA member grab your vin and join. If you are buy the 50.00 raffle ticket. It only takes one ticket to win.

I appreciate your good vibes and positive thinking. However, since there is no boat leaving Emden for Baltimore on the 14th, I’m done getting my hopes up.
yep. 14th is a placeholder date. I’ve had many. Hoping to make the Confucius on the 3rd or I miss my 6th boat.
It's easy to guess which ship will be in port on the date that TYD says that your car will leave port. But as many of us have found, that doesn't mean anything. Many have seen multiple boats come and go without picking up their car, even after the "scheduled" date, only to see the date change, usually after the date has passed. Here's how the timeline for my car has evolved:
that spreadsheet is great. Any way you could share it so I could also build one and share it with others?
