East Coast NA Vessel "Siem Confucius"

[jld1]

Same for me too. Dealer emailed back this morning saying no movement on his end of things (he often gets updates before my TYD changes).

Are we posting pics when we finally take delivery? I'm hoping for delivery before 12/17. I will be out of town after and won't be able to take delivery until after Christmas if not!

After all this wait, I'm pretty sure that's a requirement, if not a moral obligation

TYD now shows "Entry Port".

Now just to process this baby and bring her home!!

TYD just reached Port Processing for me! The wait is almost over for us!

 

[jld1]

Same here! Woohoo! I never even got to see those intermediate steps, although it's pretty funny to me that Porsche has so much faith in this system that they even included a step for "entry port" and "vessel entering channel" - as in TYD is totally updated in real time.

Just FYI and curious if others are seeing it, TYD just went backwards a week from 12/9 to 12/16. Not making too much of it, I think it happens automatically if a miltestone is one day away and not reached.

Happened as you described. See how my dates changed.

Does anybody know where the ship is now? I thought it was supposed to be in port Baltimore by now but everything I’m seeing is still showing it’s “out of coverage”.

Looks like Confucius decided to take the long way to Baltimore by going south and around the Delmarva peninsula instead of taking the usual shortcut through the C&D canal. Weird. Usually passage through C&D canal is only limited when there’s significant ice formation deep into the winter months. But it’s only early December and I didn’t think that would be an issue yet.

Anyhow, she’s chugging right along, but just going the long way around the Delmarva peninsula. When I was tracking the Siem Cicero a couple of weeks ago, it went through the C&D canal like many ships usually do. Looks like Confucius is taking the scenic route

 

[jld1]

Maybe it's a bit larger than Cicero? Or perhaps the water levels aren't the same, not sure. Still finishing my bachelor's in Internet Ship Tracking.


Looks like it'll be there today anyway, at least.

Anyone have any idea how long port processing usually takes ?

 

[jld1]

I had this same question so just this morning I read through a few posts on Rennlist to see how long people waited on average for processing. It's extremely variable. If I had to pick a median, I'd say 3 days, but picking a mean would be tough as it can vary from 1 day to 4-5 weeks.

Seems like people here are reporting about 3 days, so let's go with that. I'm hoping by tomorrow afternoon t's on a truck.

Time spent in port processing will also largely depend on what options you have on the car. Some options or accessories may be port-installed, which could add to the time spent in port. My car must not have required much time in port processing because it landed on 11/25, and by 11/28 it was already sitting at my dealership 700 miles away from port. So in my case, it got on a truck almost immediately after it was offloaded from the ship. Hope you all are as fortunate.

Thanks @masmole. Out of curiousity, what was your spec sheet like? I can't think of anything on mine that would need to be added after build, unless the Bose thing is still an issue. But I thought as long as you specced it before the issue came up, you were good to go.
