I am on the boat ahead, the Glovis Supreme but stopping in Brunswick and Columbia on the way to San Diego. The Asteria Leader was not a for sure pickup in Emden (the schedule said by inducement) but may end up being the faster ride to so cal given the fewer stops.

 

Vehicle has been produced and is sitting on the vessel. Cant wait to get it! Hope my spec comes out as i imagined it Currently sitting on the Cygnus Leader

 

Mine is on the CYGNUS LEADER as well said to be in San Diego 1/7/2022? Almost here.
DO you think this is an accurate date?

 

Any movement from Benicia. Nothing to Monterey yet ….. longest part of the wait because it’s only 1 1/2 hour away …..

 

Who is with me on the Siem Aristotle heading to the East Coast? Should leave tomorrow and reach Baltimore - my stop - on December 17?

 

Radio silence from my SA. I called PCNA around lunchtime and they were able to confirm that my car has been released for transport (which alleviated a big concern of mine about shipping damage, as in that case it would be held at port). They said the car hasn't exited the port yet and is scheduled to leave on 12/10 (same date as TYD shows). Although, I heard that at this point the tracking system is not super accurate, and the dealer would know better as they are alerted as soon as the car is on a truck.

Have you or @frankchn heard any news from your dealers? My car is going to Stevens Creek, so not all that far from Benicia. I'm hopeful that we won't have to wait until 12/10, unless there is some local truck shortage happening...

 

just this minute I got a call from my SA . Car has it’s exit papers and they are expecting in Monterey tomorrow early am . Will drive down and check it out . More to follow 🙏🎉

 

Congrats @robert310! As of yesterday, I saw the following in my dealer's system. The car entered port PDI on 12/1 and exited port PDI on 12/2. As of yesterday it was waiting to get on a truck. He mentioned that they have no control over the delivery from the port to the dealership, so he wasn't aware if it was gonna come on Friday (today) or later.

Please keep us posted if any Benicia folks get any updates. I'll do the same.

 

Same here. Still waiting for a truck. Dealer says they received a shipment of cars today released on 11/30 so he is hoping for early next week.

 

Looking at the GM issues instead of Porsche, but still an interesting article on the challenges of car transport business today:

This just showed up. Doing a happy dance!! Pickup is soon..

 

Were you on the Siem Cicero? Mine was, but still showing “Port Processing”.

 

So, yesterday, TYD showed that I arrived a the port on 11/25 and supposed to be on Siem Aristotle by today with arrival at dealership by 12/31. TODAY it shows arrival at port by 12/3 (don’t believe that), hitting Siem Aristotle on 12/24 and arriving at dealership by 1/21. WTF?

 

Yep. Maybe trucks to SA were more available than to DFW? Still probably a day for make ready prep.

 

It's pretty well established that TYD estimated dates are useless during this stage of the process. Save yourself the hassle and frustration and ignore TYD once you've been assigned to the ship. Follow progress of the ship on Fleetmon, Marine Traffic, or another tracking system. Once at the destination port the rate limiter will be availability of transport trucks - and again, TYD provides no insights or useful information about how long that will take. Your dealership will be notified once your car is assigned to a truck and you can ask that they keep you informed of that.

Alternatively, keep checking TYD a few times a day and drive yourself crazy trying to make sense out of something that makes no sense.
