Spaceman - I've been told the same thing by my dealer - they have 7 cars scheduled to leave Emden on 01/02/21, although my SA did not provide the ship's name. I suspect it's this one. Do you know when yours completed production and arrived at the port? Mine completed production on 12/09 and entered port Emden on 12/10. I was hoping it would have departed prior to January but no such luck. Mine's headed for Port of Houston, btw. I, like you, am ready as well!

It’s likely on the same ship, the Jacksonville, Houston route seems to be common with the VW Group logistics.

My SA just confirmed my Spyder is on this ship too for a Jacksonville delivery. Woo Hoo!!!

i know my car went into the body shop ie production? on 11/6 and was in production for several weeks as i was told, so i believe we were in the same run i have my first pdk car coming

Do you know if this ship stops in Baltimore? My car has been on the dock at Emden since December 14th. Baltimore is the port for Delaware
and southern new jersey among others. The report from my SA says the car is tentatively schedule to leave Emden January 1st. This ship would make sense .
thanks

Once the ship leaves you can track it to its next port for free, if you get a subscription to the service you can see it’s manifest but that’s overkill to only use it once.

Since the direct trip from Emden to Jax is 14 days but it’s not scheduled to arrive until the 19th it’s quite possible it will go to Baltimore first.

Thanks for the insight .I’ll check after
January 2. Fingers crossed

Looks like the Pleiades Leader has left Emden en route to Davisville, RI. ETA is 1/13. No idea what it’s next stop might be, hoping it’s Jacksonville so I can take possession before the Rolex 24.

That may seem like an odd milestone to some but without a Porsche I’m between a rock and a hard place for the race. Ever since PCA has been sponsoring a “corral” at the event, well over 20 years, I’ve leveraged that for front row parking on the infield, I’m a charter member so to speak. 4 or 5 years ago the speedway started printing PCA specific parking passes so my pass gives me special parking but is only good when it’s attached to a Porsche. My deal with the dealership was if the car didn’t arrive in time they would provide me with a loaner so I could properly attend the event. I’d much rather be showing off my new Spyder then showing up in a Macan.

Latest update shows the PL arriving in Jacksonville on the 16th, 3 days ahead of schedule.

Blount Island BI20 SIEM PLEIADES LEADER 004A/005A Biehl and Co. APS Stevedoring LLC Vehicle 01/16/2021 0530

Not sure this will come to pass since it's still 21 hours out of RI port and will need to unload and then sail 900 miles south but fingers crossed.
