I think it may stop in Santa Marta, before heading to the canal.
My apologies, spelling corrected. Santa Marta is on the week 3 schedule, but Baltimore surely wasn't, so who knows...

Neptune Barcelona has departed Baltimore en route to Santa Marta, Colombia. Hopefully it won't get diverted to FL first.

Glovis Comet is docked in Benicia. May your cars come off and get to the dealers with minimal delays!

Meanwhile, the Neptune Barcelona is about midway between Baltimore and the Caribbean.

I'm not sure about a webcam but I've seen guys in the 992 forum drive up to the fence when the ship pulled in at Benicia. It's fenced off but you can see when the RORO ship is docked from a public street.

My TYD currently shows a departure date of 01/31 but reading through some of these postings, it appears there are no ships coming to Emden in the foreseeable future that are heading to Benicia (!). Quick background: I lived in Bay Area for a long time, moved to Seattle recently. The port of entry for Seattle-bound Porsche vehicles is Benicia.

Are there any other folks in the same boat (no pun intended) as me where the port of entry is Benicia and you have Emden departure date around 01/31? If so, do you know if there will be an incoming ship?
Somewhat similar. I'm scheduled to leave the German port on 2/10 but don't see any Western US bound ships in and around that time frame.

Glovis Cosmos seems most likely, based on current schedules. Emdem 3/2 -> Benicia 4/2. If your TYD updates before that, your SA can tell you the ship name.

Thank you! Will anticipate there to be a shift in my TYD dates in that case. Will probably be a mid April (instead of March) delivery if all goes well.

I'm in the same boat. Earlier this week, my Carrera T shows this (similar to your date of departure on the vessel). I guess we will only find out on 2/9 if those dates are true or if it is rescheduled for the next vessel for the west coast in early March.

Neptune Barcelona has passes the Caribbean Islands; should be a straight shot down to Santa Marta (ETA 4am local time Monday).

I think they’ve been unloaded. My AirTag (did Euro delivery) shows a ping 23 hours ago, it’s in the parking lot on Park Road just north of the 780. The adjacent business is called Amports if you look on google maps.

Apologies for the lack of map in the screenshot, I think it’s getting hung up by the great firewall while I’m in China.

If you drive up for a peek, grab a photo of my car! It’ll be the shark blue 718 GTS with no protective film or plastics.

That parking lot is HUGE.

Wohoo, my home country. I wonder if they transship and distribute to the northern andean region or if they take them by truck.
