My Cayenne S build is now about halfway across the Atlantic heading towards its first stop in Santa Marta, Columbia. It at Lat 29.955; Lon -48.392 as I write. After that, it heads through the Panama Canal and heads up the western coast of the US.
I also received an email from Porsche saying that my base hybrid has reached milestone 5 (although the TYD has yet to update). The estimated date was 3/25. Apparently, the guys at Bratislava just have a bunch of partially completed units sitting around and then one day all are finished. Maybe whoever attaches the hood emblems was out sick.

I think I just missed this boat. My car got to the port on 3/13 and I think that boat left on 3/14.
Mine just finished production today...4 days early as was due to finish on Monday 3/25. Got a VIN too..Now the long final wait begins but its just a little bit closer tho!
I hope Porsche isn't playing a joke on me. Not even two weeks away till production, yet expecting the car 2 days before you...
Finally some activity, car has been in Emden for ~12 days. I don't think it's actually on a ship yet based on what others have seen. It's not showing this update in my porsche app yet.
JIUYANG BLOSSOM - (Vehicles Carrier, IMO 9318474) or SUMIRE LEADER (Vehicles Carrier, IMO 9933999) maybe? Both seem to be headed to North America west coast.

I am also perplexed about delivery, mine does't start till 4/29/24 and it is 'supposed' to be delivered 6/18. Not sure what to think of this given others timeline

Yes I think the dates are due to hold and clearance still in North America for US hybrids at least.

Someone in the Cayenne delivery thread posted yesterday that all US hybrids they heard from their dealer are set for July release and deliveries so that would make sense why my car and others show 28 Jun delivery dates despite sometimes being a week between each other on the production lines. Sounds to me like Porsche build in some time for EPA clearance.
My fear now is that the Bridge incident in Baltimore will add time as that is a major port of embarkation and delivery for the East Coast for Porsche, BMW, Audi and tons of autos and they will all need to be re-routed to other ports...maybe the ones where our cars will be headed to. Supply chains will suffer somehow if added capacity is not avail in the maritime shipping system.
