My GTS says it left the port on 3/13 but it still doesn’t have an update delivery date. It shows still at the port on the map and no ETA for arrival in east coast port
You are close my friend…I would be answering all the spam calls in hopes of it being someone from the dealership. Any day now you will get the call… Good luck and Godspeed.
I would very much like to know this too as I have a PPF install scheduled.
it should be fast other wise, After 2 days you start paying storage fee's, Unless there is a customs hold, 99% of the time they clear customs days before they even dock.

That's good to know! The Composer arrived on 16th and TYD hasn't updated past arrived at entry port yet so was getting a bit anxious

Could this explain why older cars with the banned chip continue to sit at the port, while the newer cars are being shipped out sooner?
The older cars would not be subject to storage fees, due to the customs hold, while the newer cars would incur storage fees, if they were held back to make room for the older cars.

It's the government, I don't think they care, The ports are all run by unions and they don't care either. here is the invoice from a container we brought in from Germany, Look how my BS fee's there are
It's take us about 3 weeks to get a spot on a boat, right now, it used to be a week at the most

Anyone else worried about the port of Baltimore bridge collapse incident last night having an effect on our ships/cars getting into port?
likes like quite a scene …
im on the SFL conductor less than a week out from reaching Baltimore …

Yeah... absolutely terrible and I would guess they'll be performing cleanup/investigation for weeks/months. I'm not sure if our car carriers route takes them through that area?

Not sure exactly what the impact will be, but if there is a silver lining for VW/Porsche, it has to be that Sparrows Point where their ships dock, is south of or before the Francis key bridge.
Are there any issues with cars sitting at the ports in the U.S.? Or is it a pretty quick turn around time for a semi to load them up?
My car arrives in Baltimore on Thursday….I am hoping to have the car by the end of April. It’s going to a dealership in WI…Is end of April a realistic expectation?
Thoughts with those on the bridge and directly impacted in Baltimore.
Thursday will be interesting on whether Amethyst Ace can dock at Sparrows Point. Although short of the bridge, I would speculate the harbor could be closed short of that to non-essential vessels, although hopeful they can get in. The schedule expects Amethyst Ace (3/28), SFL Conductor (4/3) and Violet Ace (4/16) to Baltimore, so will see very soon.
Beyond the bridge in the Fairfield Area appears a larger car area including Mercedes, Fiat and what looks like quite a few other manufacturers.
NJ has berths (BMW is there), but the real problem is that the vehicle prep and distribution centers can't be relocated easily, they are right there at the port.

I would be shocked if Amethyst Ace will be allowed to dock. Like you said, Sparrows Point is south of the bridge but I’d expect there to be a large perimeter closed off for rescues and repairs. My car is on Amethyst Ace but I doubt my car will be delivered as expected in Colorado.
I hope everyone impacted by the crash will be safely rescued
