TYD finally shows a boat but I cannot find a schedule on it. Anyone heard of the Cape Town Highway?
Cape Town Highway is operated by "K" Line RoRo Bulk Ship Management Co., Ltd. I have looked at K line website but cannot find a schedule for Cape Town Highway. You may want to contact them.

Thanks a bunch for sharing. I note that for your open campaigns, the "stop sale" boxes are unchecked. I would assume that means that the dealer can still take delivery and that your car would not be stuck in post-port processing.
Yes thing like recalls, software updates, and other more serious things will require Porsche to fix at port before delivery, but the minor things they will fix later and you get your car sooner. Still a hassle to take your car in eventually and get all the stuff installed.

Had our SA run the VIN, our CT has no open campaigns, so nothing should prevent a mid Dec delivery.

Yes I understand but besides the obvious error re current position, the 1/7 date also seems odd or maybe just coincidental as that was my prior delivery date - are you in Houston or Baltimore? Either way suspect this date might be incorrect.

And for reference, at least one of the posted dates in my TYD line is also corrupt and clearly incorrect:

Entering (Houston) Port channel Oct 12 - obviously a system or more likely input error (month-day swap).
Arrival & processing Dec 10
Port Processing Dec 10
Enroute to Porsche Dealer Dec 17
Arrival at Dealer Dec 24
I'm outside Chicago. But TYD shows the destination port for me as Baltimore, date 12/24. This is of course incorrect for SFL Conductor, which is scheduled to arrive Baltimore 12/3. Fair amount of buffer in there, which is why I feel pretty good about still achieving a '21 delivery despite what TYD says.

I hear you that the map position and distance is clearly an error, but I'm hopecasting that it could be real ?

Anyone else on the Cape Town Highway? Looks like it will be docking in Emden the next 3-4 hours.

My car is on SFL Conductor which is scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on Dec 3. Assuming 2 weeks to get through Baltimore port to dealer in Ohio, that would give a rough delivery around Dec 17.

TYD estimates dealer delivery Jan. 7. Looking at the TYD map diagram (below), I am beginning to understand why TYD is projecting that date.

Looks like TYD routes the ship north around Scotland, instead of through the English channel, then assumes the ship docks at Houston, offloads the car there, and then transports the car overland to Ohio.
Yes, that route to Ohio might take another 48 days.

SFL Conductor heading out to the Atlantic with a helpful tail wind via the Celtic Sea south of the 'old sod' :) Amazingly enough my car is scheduled to arrive in Houston on the day of our 30th anniversary no less :)

The Port Processing facility is just north of where Braes Bayou intersects Buffalo Bayou and a point to where we often do a Bayou ca. 35 mile round trip trail bike ride from our house! There is a restaurant on Brady's Island (where it says View Pt.) with a perfect view.

Needless to say, for a bit of a laugh, we'll be there to see the Conductor dock on the 12th - what better anniversary present - well I may be a bit biased there :)

Archived web view from the old restaurant dock (restaurant a victim of Harvey in 2017 is no longer operating) - when the boat sails past you could literally throw a stone at it - that close :)

Buy/rent one of these so you can video your car being driven ashore.

Have a 400mm version but not hanging around to count n x 100 cars being unloaded :) Tried to see if there was a closer access road but too much security!

Hopefully the Conductor does not have to deal with any major storms - forecast route through a 40 knot depression from MarineTraffic that should be well gone by the time it reaches that area. Do like the direct route though :)

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