Scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on Dec 3rd - guessing would depart Halifax Dec 1 latest.

that’s the same estimated date that the CP Highway is supposed to arrive in Baltimore. I wonder if they will fight for a spot?

Where are you?
Outside Halifax.
Halifax! Why are you at Halifax? You were supposed to go to Baltimore!
PCM has been screwing up. It routed us to Halifax.
Shut everything down and wait 20 minutes.
Then enter Port of Baltimore as destination.

Well as I have already said, no pilot, no docking for the SFL Conductor. The good news is that a pilot and berth have been assigned overnight. Schedule is still tentative for tomorrow morning.
I would expect the ship to be in port, 12 hours or less, so it can be on it's way to make Baltimore for 12/3.

Interesting that they actually have her docking and departing the same day which seems a stretch unless offloading very few cars - all tentative of course.

Nov 29
Docking 03:30
Departure 14:30

Canada is a much smaller market for Porsche. CA, FL and TX each individually have more Porsche sales each year then Canada.

So fewer cars to unload, that's why it's typically a quick stop. Might only be unload one deck or even partial.

Yep, TradePoint now at Sparrow Point is a private outfit who do not publish their ship schedules or terminal berth assignments to the public so need to rely on ship tracking sites.

For your Houston arrivals:

Bored so was browsing where my car will be driven on US soil for the first time i.e. where some unknown stevedore will have the pleasure of joy riding my new car to the port processing facility in Houston (albeit only 300-400 m!) :(

If the boat docks at a reasonable time and I've nothing better to be doing, as mentioned before, I might be at Brady's Landing/Island to see it come in :) Currently scheduled to be ca 5 am so might be skipping this step! Once processed cars leave via 610Loop (top left) straight to Porsche North, some 20 miles or so (for me) or to the dealer of your choice :)

Here is a view of a car carrier unloading in the berth assigned to the SFL Conductor for Dec 10th - note the line of white cover protected new cars - cars follow route above straight to port processing facility:

If it's any consolation, the cars are in transport mode, which limits the speed to something like 20mph. Won't be much of a joy ride ?.
