I think there is some sort of strike at the receiving ports in the States. Somehow I heard the 18th being the date they will report back o work.

Had my uncle who works for PAG checking with logistics dept on Firmament Ace...it is scheduled now to be in Emden by tomorrow. Should be a quick turnaround assuming they had permanently fixed whatever mechanical problems they had.

Yes I see that and should be out of port tonight in route to short trip to Emden. Unless of course they are having more repairs done after the unloading/loading process.

Mine has been sitting at Emden 3 weeks now, my SA bumped an inquiry up through the system to find out what's going on. Hopefully Firmament picks our cars up in the next couple days.

For those of us scheduled to depart on Firmament Ace from Emden, a update...the boat didn't even loosen its mooring before it had another problem. Sounds as if it is could be a major issue so not sure how this will impact our arrivals. Of course I guess we can hold out hope they get it fixed quickly but at this point I'm not holding out to much hope.

My car is also going to San Diego and has been sitting at Emden for about a week, from what I have read the Altair Leader is Scheduled to head to San Diego on the 20th.
According to Marine Traffic, Altair Leader stopped at Emden yesterday and is now on its way to Bremerhaven.

Yep Ive been on the dock since 12/8. Two ships have come and gone. Hoping a ship will pick her up in the next couple days. Not like I need it in the middle of the winter but itwould be nice to see it after all these months of waiting. Jon in Delaware

I can only imagine getting a message from my SA that my GT3 is stuck in the mid-atlantic indefinitely due to a major mechanical on the transport ship.

I've been waiting so long for this car (18 months) I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever finally arrive.

My car was loaded on the Altair Leader today in Emden and the ship is currently in Bremerhaven. Lets hope they turn the ship towards San Diego ASAP.
