I realize this doesn’t relate to west coast deliveries but the 992 Waiting Room thread has the latest Week 7 PWL shipping schedule for the east and gulf coasts. I’ve attached a screenshot below. I realize these ships could be carrying a mix of VW, Audi and Porsche cars but FOUR ships all leaving Emden within two weeks and all four ships landing in Texas close to one another in mid-March. Very strange.

Could be that the other VPCs are are full of backlogged cars waiting for chips to be replaced
Did a quick trip to Benicia while wife was at CostCo. There are a lot of parking/storage areas and it took me a bit to find my way. The main lot (closest to the water) has a lot of Japanese cars. I was able to find the Audi lots (further away from water, in a hilly area) which gave me some encouragement. But other than a couple of R8s (fully covered) I could not find any Porsche area. I'm hoping they are mostly covered in a warehouse but did not find any trace of Porsches.
The trip was also a reminder of the sea of SUVs and grey/black/white cars that make up our new car fleet. My E46 M3 def stood out.
No change for me as well. My TYD still has Steps 8 - 11 as “Not available” while my sales rep’s internal system still showed late April delivery as of last week. Stena Glovis published their Week 8 schedule and some good news for San Diego bound cars: Glovis Companion has added SD as a confirmed stop now on April 5. For those of us waiting for Benicia, it’s still up in the air unfortunately - tentatively now April 9, arrrgh. I’ve attached the schedule below.

Does this mean my car that's bound for San Diego and currently in Emden might board the ship and arrive to the west cooast on April 5th?

Good possibility and for your sanity, I hope so! Of course, the wild card is the chip issue: whether your car is impacted by it and if so, will they attempt to fix it in Emden or in SD. I just don’t know why Porsche is so stingy with scheduling west coast bound ships….
I’ve been tracking the Companion - it left Turkey a day+ ago and now heading to Tilbury UK before going to Antwerp, etc.
