SFL Conductor has left the building! Baltimore-bound.
Looks like I made it aboard too! (I also just got the email) Only about a week wait at Emden, which isn't bad, so I consider myself lucky.
The Amethyst Ace is not that far ahead of you. In the Atlantic west of Portugal near some small islands. We will probably be just leaving the Baltimore port when you get there. There will be a large quantity of 911’s in the Baltimore port. Hopefully they get shipped out to dealers quickly.
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?
Hey Guys,
So my first custom order (and now probably my last) Porsche 911 T has been sitting at the port since January. It is supposed to go to Baltimore. I see a few people got notified that their car left the port today. I am curious but was your car waiting at the port?
Also, is it possible that my car was finally loaded but it still hasn't updated TYD?
Any advice? I am just getting so frustrated and my SA has been of no help. He once told me that the due date was April 5 when TYD said "Not Available" and keeps saying "it should be on the next boat."
Thanks again. Praying there may be hope that it is on this ship but losing faith now.

The SFL Conductor was not scheduled to go to Baltimore as of a couple weeks ago, it looks like it was an addition. I have a sneaking suspicion they're doing LIFO (last in, first out) in loading the vehicles as mine was completed 3/15 and was shipped on Conductor yesterday/today.
Amethyst Violet Ace is coming in 2 weeks and is skipping its regular Halifax port (goes Emden->Halifax->Baltimore) so I am hoping that helps alleviate any backlog of cars at Emden.
I got notified via Track Your Dream this morning around 11am ET.

Violet Ace is the next ship that will be making the trip to Baltimore in a couple of weeks. Amethyst Ace is already well on its way to Baltimore.
I agree - there must be one hell of a backlog at Emden since they're adding ships, and according to the PWL schedule, even the Violet Ace is showing to have Baltimore as the one and only destination from Emden. "It has one job"
My 911 was offloaded from the SFL Composer in Baltimore on 3/17. My dealer in the Chicago area scheduled for me to pick-up on 3/22 -- I can't wait.
The car finished its build on 2/11, so it would seem like the car was lucky to have received the correct chip in Germany. (This might support Ricky Bobby's post #19534 that cars assembled after 2/5 were built with the new chip.)
My Dakar has been sitting at Emden waiving at all the other cars since 12/13/2023
It must have been some Oktoberfest---your Dakar seems to still be carrying on and not ready to leave! Those Dakars are wild ones, I hear! Hopefully he jumps on the next ship out.

Hopefully he jumps on the next ship out.
