Anyone who’s car made it to Houston on the Siem Plato showing anything other than port processing? Getting antsy over here.

Only arrived 2 days ago, right - man you might be less patient than me and thats saying something Messing - but def curious to see how long your car takes to get through the PP - assume you have no open campaigns too correct?

Zero patience for sure. ?
No open anything. I talked to SA a few days ago. I know they’ll call when they know something but that’s not stopping me from being super anxious. ??
I will update here as soon as I know something.

Don't know what your timeline shows but my TYD is allocating 7 days to Port Processing - prob just a default or 'safe' number as too many potential variables. It also adds another 7 days to get from the port to the dealer which is literally 19 highway miles to north side of Houston so obviously not accurate

Atlantic weather next 4 days - I overlaid the last snapshot of SFL Conductor's position and it's forecast route on the latest NOAA Atlantic 96 hour forecast - you can see the route plots along a frontal bdy. avoiding major weather systems north and south as best it can.

Thanks. Keep your eye on it.
We don't want any of this video link to occur on SFL Conductor.

TYD has shown me 0, 7 & 14 days to get from port to dealer. SA says it takes 1-5 days.

Recall reading similar nightmare stories back in 2014 when my Euro del car was being shipped over - would be just my luck

OK, went ahead and got the free trial on Fleetmon to track by satellite Current position:

You da MAN!
Seemed like it took a long time for the ship to get through English channel but has sailed faster since?

I’m showing arrival at dealer in New Orleans 11/26. I feel like that’s excessive. But we’ll see.

Even tho my official delivery date isn't for a couple weeks, I dropped by the PEC-LA and got to lay eyes on my car for the first time. I'll share official pics once I take delivery of the car but for now I'll tease this image of the window sticker. ??

Agreed -seemed odd - not sure if a 'traffic' thing or somehow weather rated but steaming now!

 

[tbinmd]

Not odd, channel has lots of traffic, it's all controlled.

If anyone else is on the Cape Town Highway, it just docked at Emden. Hopefully will get loaded quick and head out!

Of course but actually it was a bit of an exception as there was a delay in receiving the last AIS reading and the ship simply appeared to have stalled. The last westerly image I shared was essentially the final territorial based AIS update before transitioning to satellite.

As of this AM the conductor is past the continental shelf into deep ocean:
