@TUD.... Thank you for the update and spreadsheet... it does look like the same boat makes multiple stops starting from NE and then down to Jacksonville.... now why my T was in Emden along with your Ts and you got an update that the boat left with your car and I didn't get the update I am not sure.... either my tracker was not updated or there were too many cars in line to get loaded and mine did not make this trip....
Seems unlikely your car was there and didn’t get a slot. Good luck & hope for the best.
FYI, As previously stated the TYD ship tracking is totally incorrect as the car carriers travel through the English channel. This is well known amongst those that have previously ordered.
Confirmed via my SA.

while I was following my car earlier this year, they updated the TYD tracker to a new system. I don't think either system was going for accuracy but it was funny to me how the old system correctly showed the route through the channel while the new system shows a route through the north sea.
If you're using the TYD app for that info I could almost 100% guarantee that's not where the ship is going. It goes SW out of Emden through the English Channel then straight across the Atlantic to America. Find out what ship it's on and use a ship tracker site.
The map shown in the app is just a crude visualization. Who cares which route the ship takes or where exactly it is. The app is attempting to use port-of-call schedules and/or history to give you an estimate of when the car will arrive, which is subject to many variables that are out of Porsche's control. This is nice, for a lot of people. Complaining that it's not accurate is kind of silly, imo.
In terms of (quote) "Seems unlikely your car was there and didn’t get a slot. Good luck & hope for the best." The ports do not use a strict LIFO system, by a long shot. We've seen this repeatedly documented on this thread (and others), just as an FYI. For instance, my car was at the port for one day, while some others' cars arrived days earlier and left days later (in some cases weeks - potentially owing to damage incurred and repaired at the port).

Hope this helps.
So it’s a crapshoot? 🎰
Yeah as long as it gets here I’m fine with transportation path.
