Congratulations! Don’t forget to change those blinkers… makes a huge difference. Probably even adds a few HP 🤣.

Congrats! And hey, you should be grateful because I was told to skip Aerokit so I don’t get delayed. I didn’t option Aerokit and now my car is delayed over a month and counting. I wish I couldn’t gotten it earlier or even on time!

I have an update on the sail date for the Aristotle from Emden. Says it sails 5/26 so it’s there until Friday.

Hoping they can load some of us that they bumped back this morning.

Got it from this link

Doesn’t look like there’s space for more than one vessel at the specific port location where Siem Aristotle is docked.


(This is a static picture from Google Maps, not the Siem Aristotle. Sharing only as a reference for the port location size in reference to a vehicle carrier vessel.)

From vessel finder and fleetmon data, looks like sunshine ace is 50-100 miles out of emden port where siem aristotle is currently moored. I think once Aristotle leave, it will anchor itself for loading on 24th/25th with departures on 26th as of now..

I bet they could pull another ship up to the ramp on the left side. But logistics get more complicated...so they won't.

This would really help a lot as a lot of us are clogged at Emden as i can see here.
Also demand order date, allocation date, built date.

Anyone got access to an AI that can compile this forum into a spreadsheet? ChatGBT is only data driven up September 2021

When do people usually get the elevator photo?

My GTS has been at German port since 5/6 (isn't scheduled to leave the port until 6/22, was 5/22 but was delayed like others), and the last photo I got was this from end of April:

I got the last two photos at the same time, on the day manufacturing was completed.

Thank you. Maybe the camera was broken when it came time to take the elevator photo or maybe it was going too fast...

There are many more docks for sure, question is where are VWs loaded. Does anyone here know?

Sunshine Ace could have docked by now. Therefore, if not waiting for the dock, then what?
