Can't be true......they can't just let the ship sit anchored for 4-5 days.

Dealer just informed me in the Porsche Dealer system it states 3/30 as the arrival.

Still doesn't make sense. But what's another week in the grand scheme of things.

Exactly given it's running even faster ahead arriving at 4:00 am local tomorrow. Unless they simply do not have that many berths to handle all the vehicle ships that are there prior.

She is now anchored off the port of San Diego. Looks like a case of waiting for a berth is why they can't unload until 3/31. My SA told me last night my car was updated now to 4/15 at dealership on Porsche's system versus 4/9.

Cool ETA dealer

Noticed your from NV.....If you live in the Las vegas area.
Are you dealing with Gaudin Porsche.....I live in Henderson &
am waiting for a 2017 991.2 cpe TTS....purchased from Gaudin.
Rico is the fellow I`ve been working with(2 other cars both 2015 cars purchased via him as well).


Thinking comparing info may be helpful.

Talk about torture... SanDiegoDavid on the GT3 forum took this pic today. If you zoom into the background you can see two auto carrier ships anchored out at sea outside of San Diego. The one on the left is the Queen Ace!

Ha!
Only a minor one. The San Diego Port Arrival schedule was updated today with just a minor time update. ETA: 2016:03:31 @ 5:00A (Last was 6:00A).

Morning Cara is currently at Port and the Harmony Ace arrives tomorrow... Then the Queen Ace finally gets it's turn.

I'm pretty sure the arrival docks are overwhelmed at the moment thus the week anchored and waiting.

My Spyder is also on the Queen Ace. Dealer told me today that the ship ahead of Queen Ace (with Porsches on it) has not unloaded yet, so it's going to be a while. I don't know what "while" means, but I really want my car!

They must have old info. Only ship carrying Porsche's to arrive prior to Queen Ace was the Hojin, but it has already unloaded and left San Diego.
  • Hojin = Arrived 3/25 and Departed 3/26
  • Morning Cara = 3/28 Arrival, currently at Port, from Korea (No Porsche's)
  • Harmony Ace = ETA 3/29 Currently at Sea, from Portland, Oregon (No Porsche's)
  • Queen Ace = ETA 3/31, anchored at San Diego, from Emden.

You and me both. Only problem I foresee is the fact that the Queen Ace is completely full of cars and is unloaded the entire ship at San Diego. So it's a crap shoot where we are with the unload (beginning versus the end). It's scheduled to be at Port for approx 36 hours! Which is a long time. Typically vessels will unload a couple stops along the way (Jacksonville FL, Houston, Mexico) making the volume more evenly distributed taking between 10-24 hours to unload.

Thanks for the info - he might have had last week info. Do you think the Queen Ace just arrived early and that's why it's being held up?
