I would bet that's correct then. Dealer's PSVM system should show Swift Ace too. When mine came through, the most timely and accurate update to TYD was when it was assigned to the ship. And Swift Ace should be moored at Emden by tomorrow. Hope it works out that way for you!

My point being is that some people on this site think the PWL schedules show all stops...they don't so it will be hard to guess what boat you can/might be on until TYD or your SA tells you...and then you won't really know where it stops before your drop, etc. Just FYI.
I've been through this process 7 times now in last 3 1/2 years and this is the first I've been seeing of the PWL schedule not being accurate in terms of port assignments.

Called 5 local dealers for a targa 4s for an allocation. No promises yet If anyone has a hook up for one I would greatly appreciate it

Have you tried any higher volume dealers? Much easier for the very high volume dealers to get tight allocations, like the Targa 4S. Depending on where you are located, I'd consider places like the Porsche Exchange (Highland Park, IL) or Hennessy (North Atlanta). I spoke with the internet sales person at Hennessy back in early November trying to get insights on timing for EPA certification of the 992. He was very eager to get me a Targa allocation (not knowing that I had one sitting at the port in Baltimore at the time). May have to pay a bit for transport later, but also may be the only way to get an allocation.

My Porsche dealer in Chicagoland says they are the largest...haha...when I worked with PE they only had one allocation for a 4S in late spring.

In general 992 inventory (and builds) seem super low right now. Even floor models are non existent. Plenty of Taycans, Macans, Cayennes though

FYI, my C2S cab sat at Emden for 20 days before getting on a ship (12/11 Germany time)...so you are line with that.
