Why do you think the RCC Europe does not depart until 10/15? Is that what your S.A. has told you? I'm informed from my S.A. that it should be leaving very soon, and certainly by the end of the week. Keep in mind that the estimated dates on TYD are always a Friday (with the exception of the ultimate delivery date). TYD is then updated with the "actual" date after the event has occurred. For what it's worth, TYD shows my car on the RCC Europe, with a 10/8 "on vessel" date.

It's from my SA that just looked it for me up in the internal dealer system, not from TYD (I do not have that as I am waiting on a Macan GTS and TYD not offered). Oct 15 is just the listed scheduled departure date and of course these dates can always improve or delay. Not unusual for a ship to sit a while especially if it was a near empty on arrival and getting a full load. A good example is the Siem Aristotle that will be heading to the East coast. It has been in Port Emden since Sept 23 and is still there.
Your dealer is referring to the expected departure date shown in their PSVM system - and those dates are the same as are shown in TYD. By default the departure from Emden is shown as "expected" around 3 weeks after arrival at Emden, and the expected dates are always Fridays.

@dgtarga My TYD changed to CP8.0 > Ready for Transport > In Transit to Emden in a span of a few hours today. If it reaches Emden before RCC Europe departs - in your best guess, how likely do you think mine gets on the ship?

Unless delayed the RCC Europe should be departing in the next day or two - but things are not normal in the shipping world these days so anything is possible. If the RCC Europe is sitting at Emden waiting to get a full load I guess it would be a possibility, but I’d say it’s pretty unlikely.

From looking at the marine tracker (https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...53.336/zoom:16), the RCC Europe has two tugs and a pilot boat right next to it. They are not there for sightseeing. I figure it should be underway very soon. That tracker also shows that the ship has an ETA in Bremerhaven of 10/6. I assume there must be other cars to pick up there from the VW motor group?

My 22 Targa 4S was produced a week earlier than its V331 "Planned Date" and has been at Emden since 10/1. It shows V332 Exit port Emden of 10/22 and U022 Entry port Houston 11/12 and hoping for an earlier departure so it doesn't sit at Emden for three weeks before shipping. I haven't followed a Porsche shipping/delivery since my last Targa 5 years ago and I know there is someone on this forum that has access to the VW shipping schedules that show the ships and dates, so if someone has that available for the month of October, I would sure appreciate seeing that. I do have the Marinetraffic app.

Thank you dgtarga! I guess that I will locate where Felicity Ace and Goodwood are located now, to see when they are scheduled to arrive in Emden...How far out does Porsche let you know which ship your car is scheduled to be loaded onto? And is that shown on TYD or do I have to get the full report from my dealer? This is all been a little frustrating because originally I was scheduled to take ED in Zuffenhausen on 10/26 and that got cancelled. Still going to Germany, just going to travel via trains, not my Targa.
