Does anyone know what the weekly sailing schedules are? I've heard its 3 times a week, but elsewhere Saturday departure.

Looks like it's mostly the Panamanian-flagged KESS "xxx Highway" vessels that sail the Emden-Sheerness and Emden-Grimsby routes. Can only see some of the High+Heavy vessel schedules on the KESS website.

If you go to Vesselfinder.com and search for the Kess K line vehicle carriers you can piece together a fuller schedule than shown on Kess schedule +
Look for the following vehicle carriers...
Danube Highway
Thames Highway
Elbe Highway
Malacca Highway
Isar Highway
There are few more ....

You'll be able to see their next port of call and where they have come from plus recent port calls

Yes Tuesday, Thursday and Friday seem to be the arrivals at Sheerness. I don't follow Grimsby traffic so much as mine will come via Sheerness then to Reading

Cheers @Speuk - if the car does roll out of the factory doors on Tuesday as predicted, I guess there is a chance it could get on the boat to Sheerness leaving later that evening, arriving AM Thursday. Otherwise I guess it would be arriving on the Friday or the following Tuesday.

Nothing like counting ones chickens before their hatched, but for the first time in many months I'm starting to feel a frisson of excitement ?

Hahaha yep wishful thinking!

The estimated dates allow 3 weeks from Factory to uk dealers. That said I saw someone post that theirs arrived at Emden on a Saturday 15th October and got to Sheerness on Wednesday 19th which meant it got the first boat out

Yep. Realistically earliest I reckon it could be ready to go from the dealer is some time w/c 14 November if it’s finished next week and gets on a boat not long after.

Does anyone know how often these run? Assuming mine would likely hit Grimsby to reach Leeds?

my estimated delivery slipped from 30/11 to 31/01 but I’m being told it’s completely built and it’s just a vehicle movement issue. I’m hoping there might be another ship available to get the car to me before the end of 2022 and wondering how likely this is.

From what I could piece together from above it’s 3 vessels a week to Grimsby arriving Thursday, Friday and Sunday

Its great how peoples excitement at getting their new Taycan on here, turns them into maritime/shipping enthusiasts for a short time.

Just add in some weather info to make sure the car isn't late and doesn't get damaged or seasick on its voyage.

'Dogger, Humber, German Bight, Force 7, South Westerley veering Westerley, Force 8, Moderate to poor'.....

Taycan will be a bit off colour when it lands. It may be Mamba Green initially, but will soon be the Ice Grey you ordered.

My new Taycan is apparently in Emden awaiting ship for the UK (7 March). Does anyone have any idea when ships leave Emden these days?
