That was exactly what I was about to hop on to ask too, looks like they're still at the entrance of the bay area. Hopefully they'll get going soon.

Siem Aristotle news:

Of course my car shipped quickly and of course the CN Rail Autoport workers have gone on strike thus causing major delays here in Canada. FFS...the ship is already a day late and this will also affect the U.S. bound cars...

Only saving grace is that we leave on a cruise tomorrow for 7 nights but I was hoping the car would make it to the dealership before we returned...looking unlikely now.

Aha, maybe this is why the Siem Cicero is docking at a port in the Netherlands

They may have to reroute the ships to the US directly and get the Canadian cars delivered later?

CN Autoport is using replacement workers for unloading the cars at the moment. My guess is the replacement workers don't work during the weekends and the unloading starts on Monday.

Not really - it’s anchored and taking on fuel before docking to offload some vehicles. This is its normal route.

I'm getting a CGTS so I'm told I don't have the chip issues 911s do.

I hate seeing cars parked so closely to one another, not an easy entry or exit from the driver's door.
