Default Got My VIN ... Now What?

The construction of my new car is finally over. The code for the order has been changed to CMPPRD which means that it has been completed and is ready to be shipped.

My salesperson says that the next news will be when the car is on the boat. After a couple of days there is a way to get the name of the vessel and then a way (using the Internet rather than the Porsche computer system) to trace its progress to Baltimore. After that, I don't know.

Can anyone tell me more about how to follow my car's progress from the factory to my dealer?

When you get the ship name you can track it's progress when close to land here.
In open water it is not possible.

Also go to http://www.bumperplugs.com/BPindex.html, click on "Links" next check on "Porsche Shipping Schedule" Eric will update as he obtains the data.

This is the current info data from his site.......

Departure - Ship Name - Port due

Last Updated 3/16/10

2/19 Daedalus Leader due San Diego 3/17

2/24 Triton Hwy due Brunswick 3/17

2/24 Triton Hwy due Houston 3/21

3/02 Lapis Arrow due Houston 3/21

3/05 Centaurus Leader due San Diego 4/03

3/08 Marina Ace due Houston 3/31

3/09 Splendid Ace due Baltimore 3/24

3/09 Baltic Ace due Brunswick 3/24

Also, since I live near Baltimore, let me know when the boats departure date, color of your car and I can hang out till I see the car loaded on the car carrier. Then I will send you an email.
