Those interested in the possible process times. I'm sure it is different for each of us but here is my GTS journey so far. . . http://www.porschecode.com/PPETMLF4
My only source of information is the sales manager. He's been very kind and explained he has ~80 units sitting at Emden. The last boat was loaded with 40 units and those had been sitting for some time. His information showed boat in port today and loading leaving 12/30. If you look for AG Volkswagen shipping you'll find the boats on google. myshiptracking.com will show you live map and data of what's in harbor.
SIEM Aristotle is loading now. I don't know much about the data they report, but the "draught" is getting larger. Which I think means the boat is sitting lower in the water. Which I guess means they are putting stuff in it. I don't know when it leaves, but it's been there for two days, and seems to be getting heavier. Here's it's tracking: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9841029 My TYD has been all over the map, with arrival dates in Emden both 9/15 and 12/20. I've heard I'll be on this boat, but TYD is not showing that yet.

As a point of comparison, my times were:
order created 9/29
freeze date 10/14
start production 11/15
produced 11/19
on vessel 12/7
entry port 12/21
I wonder how long it will take to get loaded and start its ride to the dealer and what delay will Xmas have on its ride.
Look at the press release, clearly it only moves cars for AG Volkswagen.
Not sure if you're referring to my post about SIEM Aristotle. I am not 100% confident, but think it carries all Volkswagen family brands, including Porsche.

TYD shows my car on a truck on its way to port. This will get interesting ......
Mine arrived at Emden on the 20th. With the date of 12/23 for departure on the Vessel... Which looks to be for the SIEM Aristotle.
I hope we are both on the vessel by tomorrow!

Same here. I kind of doubt it considering how many people have had their cars sitting in port for weeks. But yeah, fingers crossed.

If your car is currently in transit to Emden, there is almost 0 chance it gets on the Siem Aristotle. It’s already in port and loading so it will be gone before your car gets there. Currently, the shipping company has not released an updated schedule to show future arrivals past the 23rd for east coast bound ships.
I've been in Emden since 11/25 watching all these cars come in and get loaded while I just sit there.
I hate to say this, but at this point, if your car is not loaded on the next vessel, I'm guessing there's some sort of issue. What I don't know. Maybe a part missing, maybe some sort of repair, maybe just some sort of glitch or paperwork issue. Too many other people whose vehicles are in and out of the port in 2-3 weeks.

I agree. Seems the cars that got on the last ship (the one I was scheduled for on 12/16) arrived at Emden by 11/23. So I'm thinking there's a chance I just missed the cut off and would be one of the first on the next boat.
If not, I guess I'm stuck again. But, it's been so long, another few months don't matter.
