I've been watching the ships come and go out of Emden since my 4S arrived there on 4/2. The date of departure has been pushed back several times with TYD currently saying 5/6. This means either Supreme Ace or Siem Cisero. The final destination will be in Bay Area, so I assume Benicia, CA will be the destination port. I'm already having to reschedule my PPF appointment.
I just received notice that my car has left the Emden port!!! Thanks to Zanotti posting the schedule, it looks like I'm on the Siem Aristotle. Anyone else on board??
Thank you to everyone in this thread for all the info during the last few months. Took delivery of my T this afternoon! Best of luck to everyone! Your car will be here before you know it
Consistent with others' experience, my Track Your Dream tracking has been inconsistent. My PTS BRG C4S was due to start production 4/15 and arrive at the dealer on 5/28. April 15 came and went with no update to the actual start-of-production date, but all other dates were pushed back about a week. Then TYD pushed the production start to 4/26. On the morning of 4/27, I received the paint shop photo. I received an email today stating the car is complete, although that's not reflected on TYD. To add the confusion, though, all my other dates have moved up by a few days so that now I am supposed to be in port at Davisville on 5/28. I guess if I'm really lucky, I could make the Siem Aristotle and be on US soil on 5/14. I suppose none of this really matters, since it will just get here when it's here.
@notcarbonated If you're in the Bay Area or Pacific Northwest and your entry port is Benicia, you need to look at the Hyundai Glovis schedule [ 1) https://www.pwl.de/en/eportal/schedules--vgm, 2) In the shipping portal section, pick US West-East Coast under Trade Lane, 3) Pick Hyundai Glovis for west coast and VW Konzernlogistik for east coast ]. The Supreme Ace or Siem Cicero are east coast bound ships so your car wouldn't be on those. Note: Porsche has been utilizing NYK shipping lines recently so you can check out the schedule here https://www.nykroro.com/customer/schedules/.
Based on your TYD Emden departure date, your best bet is Dong-A Metis ship. It arrives in Emden around 05/03 so a 05/06 departure sounds about right. Hope this helps!
P.S. There's a "mini-waiting room" for west coast owners under the RL west coast regional forum if you want to commiserate with others.

Wow, I had no idea it was a different schedule It makes a lot more sense that ships going to the west coast would go a more direct route instead of stopping all along the east coast first.
And I think you're right that Dong-A Metis looks like my ship! The schedule only shows up to San Diego stop at 6/8, but based on the earlier ships it takes about 3 days to get from there to Benicia. That lines up pretty close to my TYD delivery date of 6/15.
I also appreciate the tip about the regional forum that i also didn't know existed. See you over there, cheers!
Ice Grey Metallic, manual, Goodyears... Received email today that car is bound for German port. Hoping to be loaded on the Surpreme Ace next week for shipping to Baltimore.
Mine started manufacturing on the 28.
Ice grey Targa 4S.
it says completion on may 7 with a shipping date of may 22 to east coast. What carriers are leaving to Baltimore around that dates? Anyone knows?
