Mine is enroute on the Siem Cicero to Halifax for a stop before continuing to the US and eventually to Houston. I figured out the ship based on port info and when my car left Emden and texted my SA Monday morning and he confirmed it, saying how did you know. 🤣
Mine as well. I received an email from the European Delivery team this morning. It had been sitting in Emden for the last 6-7 weeks...ETA in Freeport, TX on April 9th.
Good intel! Are you a subscriber to one of those maritime tracking services?
I've subscribed before but not recently. I just track using the free version, where you can only know real-time position when the ship near a port. With the free account on vesselfinder, you can zoom in on the ship while at port and see what support ships are nearby or right next to it. Example: when you see tugboats surrounding the ship on the tracker map, that means the ship is either just approaching the port or getting ready to leave, or when you see a tanker/fueling ship right kissed-up next to it, you can make assumptions as to what it's doing. The refueling ship Jana was right next to the SFL Conductor the other day for a few hours, now I'm just waiting to see when the tugboats show up which would indicate when Conductor is ready to leave.
Amazing how we all suddenly become maritime-tracking pros when our cars are about to get shipped

Questions remain: what 911s were produced with the US compliant chip? All those produced after what date? Will those currently on a ship sit at a port when they get there too?
Hope for others stuck in Emden a week ago my SA told me his system showed my car leaving Emden on 3/29 aka the Violet Ace and heading to Baltimore.
Out of nowhere I just got a TYD notification that I have left Emden aka loaded onto the SFL Conductor.
With nothing but delays ever since my car started production mid November, it feels good to finally see something happening ahead of schedule
Just got notified my 992 left port on the SFL Conductor (assuming, at least) en route to the Baltimore port via TYD. I might have had one of the fastest turn around (locked 2/22, started build 3/5, finished 3/12, reached Emden 3/15, left Emden 3/20).
Hi, did you do an European delivery and dropped off vehicle and waiting to get shipped back? I did a European delivery and returned the vehicle on 2/2/24 and just been idle at the port. they did say the part was changed out but I just can't get on a vessel to here. can you share with me your experience with after drop off.
