Official: Porsche stops production due to coronavirus

Right now it's educated speculation. *fingers crossed* for everybody who has a vehicle in Emden waiting to cruise the seas.

It looks like the Viking queen is underway. Leaving Emden and heading to Norway. The Goodwood is finally moving and on its way into Emden. Hopefully heading to North America in a couple of days.

I just looked too and see Goodwood docked late on the 5th. That means it's had a few days there so maybe she's loaded up. I was told it's heading to East coast drops first (Davis & Jacksonville) then to the gulf.

This is a pretty cool article and it's recent if you're curious. Says VW has charter ships so they can control shipping a bit better. Maybe that's normal - not sure.

Does anyone know the list of their ships and which go where?

It wouldn't surprise me if it takes some time to get paperwork done and the tugs to come over and help shepherd those big guys out of the dock area.

Looks like GOODWOOD has just left the pier on the way to Davisville, with 2 tugboats assisting. Pretty good guess that cars are on the way!

Yes. Anyone know the time from Emden to Davisville to Houston? I know, I'm being impatient.

The ship reported expected arrival the morning of May 18th. The MarineTraffic app is predicting the 22nd. Don’t even know yet if my vehicle is on this ship, but I am going to pretend until told otherwise!

Missed the second part of your question. Davisville to Houston is nine days, based on March schedules.

According to my delivery schedule, cars leaving today should reach Houston on 5/29.

I think they will get there sooner, if I'm a betting man.

If you have your VIN, go to this site:

https://www.2wglobal.com/webapps/?f...cean.do?method=getDefaultOceanQuickSearchPage

Enter the VIN in the "Bill of Lading" field, it should tell you if it is on a ship. Warning, it may still be on this ship, but the data wasn't entered in yet.

Edit. Some people with cars on ships just tried this and it didn’t show anything. Thanks
