My Carrera coupe was just left in the port of Houston yesterday. Now it has to truck the 850 miles from Houston to Colorado Springs Porsche. The dealer says his system shows the car will get to the dealer on September 16th. Around fifteen days to travel this 850 miles? Has anyone had a car move from Houston to Colorado Springs Porsche and if so- how long did it take?
Do not forget the time is total time: get off the boat, clear customs, get on the truck, get to the dealer...etc. Somebody mas mentioning in here a while ago, being in the same port city and still get the car in 10-12 days, If I recall correctly.
Read today that Nord stream gas pipeline is now going to take much longer to get back operational. Seems to have now indefinitely shutdown by Russia, so getting into winter production might delay further. Mine was a 22 model, they pushed to a 23 model with freeze date of Oct13; with this recent gas pipeline development God knows when I will ever get to see my 911. I have no hope of getting it this year.
Violet Ace has docked in Halifax, apparently three days ahead of schedule? Next port call is Davisville, RI and then on to Houston where my car will unload. I'm scheduled for delivery on 9/23, but she is running well ahead of schedule having left Emden 7 days ahead of TYD and now three days early into Halifax.
Change freeze point should have happened several weeks ago. TYD in the UK may not provide as much information as what we see in the States.
After the car is produced, it will be transported to Emden and find its way onto a transport vessel. For me this process took only three days, but for others it took much longer.

That's concerning as I'm not aware I've completed a spec let alone locked it. I'll contact my dealer in the morning.
Can someone point me to a shipping schedule with Benicia delivery? I just got confirmation that my build is complete as of 9/1, transit to Emden completed today 9/5.
TYD says it’s supposed to be on vessel 9/9 and arrive in Benicia 10/14. Delivery a week later - 10/21 in Redwood City.
Since my dates have been moving regularly I’m trying to get a sense of what ship it’s likely to be on and when it might arrive in Benicia (and at the dealership, which is 50 miles away).

Not to confuse things for you, but one piece of good news is that the list of ships you posted is likely not comprehensive. My car was on the Lake Wanaka, a ship that essentially came out of nowhere, scooped up my car the day after it arrived in Emden on August 17th, and had it in Davisville a day later than originally on the Lake Wanaka's schedule (and over a week ahead of the TYD schedule). Not sure of the details of the Lake Wanaka, but I do know others were on it as well. I didn't see that ship on any schedules, but it got my car to the local port, where it has not been for a week. UGH! Perhaps someone here can shed some more light.... Good luck!

I concur... mine was on Lake Wanaka and I ended up getting it 1 week ahead of delivery forecast. There's no rhyme or reason.
Ugh I have a 992 GTS that was due 9/30 for dealer arrival and now it just got pushed to Mid-oct. Its in Emden port but not on a ship yet.
Any way I can get more details on what's going on? Like any way I can tell which ship it will be on?
The dealership is pretty useless.
