Was really hoping to make it to port in time to get on the RCC Compass on the 29th. Guess that's unlikely and I will be stuck waiting for the next west coast ship. I'm sure my dates are inaccurate since it shows leaving port 4/7 and there's no west coast ships scheduled around then

Hate to disappoint you, but with a currently scheduled completion date of the 29th - there was no way you were getting on the Compass. Best case is that your car wouldn’t get to the port until almost a week after completion. However, the way things have been going, I wouldn’t bet on that either.

[QUOTE=Alan Smithee;18708582]You have time to get on the RCC Compass; it arrives on 3/29 and will need to be loaded. My car was completed four days ahead of schedule (3/16 instead of 3/20), and was at the port on 3/20. My TYD also shows departure on 4/7; certainly that is expected to be the RCC Compass.[/QUOTE
Sir, thank you for the optimism. Although unlikely, my fingers are crossed

^ The ship isn't supposed to arrive until Wednesday...maybe arrival is delayed a day if another ship has delayed departure because of the strike?
Edit: I think someone mentioned it is coming from Bremerhaven, so it will likely be delayed there by a day.

The odds are highly unlikely for a car to be out of the factory and loaded onto a ship in four days - especially with all the reports of delays in the last two weeks. In the case the original comment was that they were hoping to be out of production and loaded on a ship on the same day... There's no way that's going to happen, especially now.

My car was scheduled to be done on 3-20... It's been pushed to 4-12...

Having caught a west coast ship 3 weeks ago, I'm pretty sure there is one boatload of cars delay headed to the west coast. In other words when you arrive at Emden, the next west coast ship is already booked full. For me it was 31 days in Emden.

Mine waited nearly 30 days

Alright - things may be shifting again on TYD dates....
Woke up this morning to an e-mail from TYD that my T had completed manufacturing and moved to Step 5. As of yesterday it was showing the date for Step 4 to complete as April 12, so things are still very much in flux date wise.
For perspective:
Change Freeze - Was 2-20. TYD now showing 2-17
Schedule for Prod - 3-1
Production Started - Originally showed 3-8 Actual appears to be 3-13.
Production completed - Originally 3-20 - First TYD Update says 4-12. Actual date 3-26
Next state schedule:
Released for transport - 3-26
Arrived at German Port - 4-3
Left port of shipment - 4-3
Arrived at port of entry - 4-23
Arrived at PECATL - 5-15
My expectation is that I won't have my pickup until after Memorial Day.
