close now and getting more excited by the day!! Feel bad for those experiencing delays and for anyone that may have had a car on board the transport ship currently in distress.
My TYD showed the car was to be loaded onto Felicity Ace until this morning (when it docked in Emden). Now pushed back weeks since no more boats going to Jacksonville this month (confirmed by PCNA just now).
Not thrilled.
For those of us on the west coast whose cars are at Emden awaiting a vessel, it looks like the “Green Ridge” is en route to pick up our cars (…although the destination changed from Emden to Bremerhaven, so I’m wondering if it’s going to Bremerhaven first and then heading to Emden?!?!). The “RCC Prestige” and “Siem Confucius” are near the port as well. The RCC is in a holding pattern while the Siem just arrived in the vicinity.
Looks like Porsche is already delaying production since the Felicity Ace caught fire. Yesterday the production and arrival dates of my car in TYD were delayed by about a month. My March allocation now estimated for April production. Anyone else seeing the same?
I hope this means they're prioritizing remanufacture of the cars that were on the ship. I'm totally fine with a delay if it means all those affected by the fire get cars remade ASAP. I know that's what I would want if I were in that position.
dblessing - my TYD now has no dates, just hashmarks. That is as of this morning. My car was supposed to start production March 11. I imagine Porsche HQ is working overtime to rearrange production schedules.
Since my C2 GTS aboard the Felicity Ace is most likely headed to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, or the scrap heap due to excessive smoke damage, or simply burnt to a crisp,
bought this today to tide me over.

Reason: spelling
Yep, same message popped up in my myPorsche as well. Production date was in March, delivery in May.
Anyone have an idea of how many Porsches are on it?
Apparently 4,000 cars! but no details on # of Porsche's

Got the same message but still showing 3/18 production. Sure that will change over next weeks

Here the latest ship positions as of 6am CST. The Felicity Ace is still adrift. The RCC Prestige and the Green Ridge are both in a holding pattern waiting to get into port. It seems we are in the middle of a traffic jam to get into port as it also shows the Siem Confucius headed into Emden as well. If you check the expected ship for the port it appears the Siem Confucius had the right away, but who knows really.
ummm….Isn’t the RCC prestige heading west…it just left Emden.
My GTS is on the Felicity Ace. My dealer is trying to find out how bad it is.

Hey @Lander911@NastyHabits, since this impacts multiple models and threads were scattered across the forums, I made a tracker thread in General to track those of us impacted and share the dealer/Porsche's response. I encourage you to post your info there: https://rennlist.com/forums/general-...ship-fire.html. -ridestp (Boxster GTS, Felicity Ace RIP)
