Emden to US West Coast @ 2024
#511
Love seeing the pics of the Glovis Companion through the Panama Canal. Thanks for sharing. Weather looks good too! Better than in Emden. Think about all of us on the west coast getting fired up for adventures in the 911s on board! Looks like it's off the coast of Mex near Oaxaca. Funny how the tracking sites say it's headed for Cristobal Port in Panama on 4/6.

I wonder if anyone still waiting for the port release at Benicia? My Cayenne has been sitting at port since 2/12 and still no update on the delivery date Current ETA has been pushed from 3/29 to 4/5 but I don't really believe this date anymore.
-----------
Update: received TYD notification/email saying it has been released from Benicia on 4/1. Expected delivery remains 4/5. Such a looong wait since the production in last November!

For owners awaiting the next ships leaving Emden, here’s the Stena Glovis Week 14 schedule that was just published today ( https://www.pwl.de/en/eportal/schedules--vgm). Observations: Glovis Courage is the next ship due in Emden on 04/22 and San Diego was removed from the route as compared to prior weeks’ schedules. It’s also strange that Benicia is it’s only (current) west coast stop but it’s still footnoted as subject to volume situation. The next SD bound ship is Dong-A Métis but it’s not due in Emden until 05/05.
For SD bound owners, don’t despair: Porsche is likely using NYK shipping during this “dry” Glovis period. The unfortunate thing is that NYK shipping schedule site ( https://www.nykroro.com/customer/schedules/ ) doesn’t produce a nice chart like PWL does. Upcoming NYK ships bound for SD include Poseidon Leader (lv Emden 04/12, ar SD 05/06), Asteria Leader (lv Emden 04/25, ar SD 05/22) and Wild Rose Leader (lv Emden 05/24, ar SD 05/31). The other possibility is that Glovis may add SD back to the Courage’s route - much like Jiuyang Blossom did at the last minute.
Hope this helps.
@ThrustNormal Did you hear back from your sales rep about the latest dates? Hopefully one of the above ships aligns with the dates.

Absolutely! It seems hit or miss with the TYD site: reading the various threads, some folks had Milestones 8 - 11 dates disappear in TYD once their cars arrived in Emden while others have dates continue to show on TYD. If you're in the former camp, I'd suggest talking with your sales rep and have them share what dates they're showing in their internal system. Based on those dates, you should then be able to roughly figure out which of the upcoming ships you're most likely on. Good luck!
Go Jiuyang Blossom!! Go Jiuyang Blossom! Gooooo....!

@Marin Vizsla Also a big thanks for the detailed response. My C2S also arrived Emden on 3/28 and is bound for San Diego.

Hey all, my car also arrived at Port of Emden on 3/28 heading to SD. Looks like i'll have some company on the ride over. Thanks for doing all the research and providing so much valuable information, Its much appreciated! I spoke to my SA this morning who advised my car should be at the dealership on 5/17. We are all getting close! My TYD app has next milestones as "unavailable" at this point. Hopefully it will get updated when car is leaving the port.

Just spoke with my SA and she informed me the new expected delivery date has been bumped up a week to May 17. Given this new bit of information, looks like my car is slated to board the Poseidon Leader later next week. Hopefully this is the case…this wait is tough. Although it’s definitely shorter than the 2 years I waited for my custom commissioned guitar.

Yea, I feel like a kid watching the NORAD Santa Tracker, I wish Jiuyang Blossom moved as fast as Santa!
