You guys know the top speed of these ships in good conditions?
20 knots is pretty much full tilt so clearly pushing it!

Here are the two boats position's at 1:20pm USCT:

Most seem to be optimzed for 24 knots. As with anything the faster you go the more fuel you consume.

There’s always the air fright option for quick delivery. Used to be $4500 for a 911.

I’m all for that, but you need to check the berth and make sure it’s avilable. If not, it will be waiting for an opening.

I know in the Chesapeake there can be a lot of frieghters stacked up waiting. All depends on what dock they are getting unloaded at.

Too bad I already pulled my boat for the season, I could have gone and met the ship at the bay bridge to follow it up to sparrows point.

Well the schedule hasn't changed from Emden departure so I would assume on track to an available berth but indeed could check with Halifax Port Authority.

Sounds like you know the Baltimore port. Any idea where the SFL Conductor will dock? Any live cams of the port area?

My dealer is installing the clear side markers for me.
Why clear side markers? I am new to Porsche. Have seen clear side markers mentioned repeatedly on this and other Porsche sites. Seriously, just trying to understand.

If I drive Taycan in USA with amber side markers should I hang my head in shame? (I did not order Mission E wheels so I guess I'm already in trouble.)

They just look a million times better, match the styling of other light systems on the car as this is the way the car comes in Europe and how it was designed to look :) - it is a US restriction that makes them add amber signals.

PS: it also is one of the cheapest mods you can do and a total DIY project.

Port Authority for Baltimore - have not had time to dig through to find the assigned berth for SFL Conductor like I did with Port Authority in Houston but has to be in here ...

https://www.portsamerica.com/locations/portofbaltimore-maryland

What is weird on MyShipTracking is that for the Port of Baltimore it shows the expected arrival date for the Cape Town Highway but I cannot as yet see one for the SFL Conductor!

Wee bit concerning as if a last minute schedule change there may indeed be issues re an available berth BUT getting ahead of myself :)

Heading out for a meal so parking for now :)!

Exactly this. I just think they look a lot cleaner. Especially on a black car.

I already have mine from Suncoast. Some dealers put them automatically on all their cars when they come in. I did it on my Cayman S years ago.
