I'm hoping this is just a GPS/tracking issue and that the boat is actually moving...if I spoke German, I would call the shipping company and ask.
They contacted you in German? Here is the contact page for the company, is this what you used to contact them? They have a UK and Bermuda office:

it was an automatic email response (in German). There is weather east of the vessel in the Atlantic, so possibly that's the root cause that has caused this vessel to literally just drift for the last 2 days. Assume the reason all other vessels are not following suit is they're not carrying millions in luxury automobiles...but that's just speculation. Will be interesting to see if this ship starts moving over the next 36 hours once this storm front passes. If weather related, it is strange that they simply wouldn't dock in the Portugal island of Santa Cruz, vs. wade miles off shore. On the "Shipping schedule Emden - USA" rennlist thread, someone actually called the shipping company last week and got direct feedback that our cars were being loaded onto the SFL Conductor well in advance of the new shipping schedule coming out to reflect that. Assumed someone would have done that for this issue as well.

Just got my final assembly photo! Unfortunately Pirelli tires, but oh well. Now 2 more months till ED in Jul.

Note for others curious: my car still says pending build completion May 17.

Wow - this was fast. If true, mine spent 3 days at port and is now on a boat as of today. Could anyone help me with how to track the boat/boat name? I can’t seem to find it on one of the sites previously mentioned. It’s coming to San Diego.

For anyone else on the Supreme Ace, I received a notification yesterday afternoon saying that my car had arrived at the port of Halifax! Earlier than expected based on what I could see tracking the vessel.

According to the website, my T was completed on 17 May, but i haven't got any photos? Are they meant to be delayed by a couple of days? I would love to see some photos of vehicle being built.

As soon as they are fully loaded I assume. Ship arrived in port yesterday so guess it takes 2/3 days to load up. 🤷🏻‍♂️
