Hopefully our cars will be shipped next month because I don't see any more boats going to Halifax or Rhode Island in March.

Ugh, that is frustrating. I've got one more shot this month, on Amethyst Ace, but given that you all have been at the port for longer than my car and weren't loaded, I'm not going to hold my breath on that ship either...

I’m trying to figure out the logic. The older cars could be at the back of the lot, so to get to them, the need to ship the newer cars in the front of the lot first. In that case, they would be doing LIFO, so your car could be next.

We’ll find out next month. Good luck to everyone waiting!

Newb question: how are folks figuring out which vessel will go to their respective destination port? I know on VesselFinder you can see expected / arrived / departed vessels but I’m not sure how to determine the next destination for a given vessel.

FWIW, my car only arrived in Emden yesterday (3/7) and is bound for Denver via Houston so I’m not realistically expecting it to ship soon.

Paranoia is kicking in. Sure hope that the assumption that the cars that were built towards the mid/end of February did not have the chip issue. But (in my conspiracy addled mind), maybe our cars were shipped to Emden without the right part (or no part at all) and we're just at the back of the line as they clear the backlog of cars that have been sitting far longer. argh. FIFO.

Since 1/15? Just terrible.

Mine finished production on the 23rd of Feb and was put on the Siem Aristotle. My SA quipped "hopefully the replacement parts arrive before your car does on the 15th of March..." Implying it's needing the fix here in Canada.

Let's see...

Sounds like the Supreme Ace left today. Anyone get an email today, notifying that you’re on that ship?

My car was built on 2/28 and arrived at Emden in 2/29. Was hoping to make one of these two recent ships.

The next step in Track Your Dream reads “not available” on my app. Any chance I made a ship and did not get a notification?

On TYD, do you have the email notification on? If so, you would have gotten an email that your car was on the boat almost immediately after the boat left the dock. No email, then likely you missed the boat. The emails seem to come faster than TYD is updated.

Interesting, so my paranoia may be validated.

Yep. Have emails turned on. Checked SPAM and also did the web browser JSON code review and the car still shows at the port. Looks like we missed the boat boys. Better luck next month….

So either we all missed this boat, or TYD is delayed and we all wake up to milestone emails tomorrow.

Likely not as others have posted about getting an email when the ship departed today. I think we are sitting for a little while now.
