Cicero chugging right along at around 13 knots and currently approaching the Azores...

Let’s keep this thread alive until cars get to our ports strong ?

That's hilarious; I don't know if it was intentional, but that picture gives absolutely no information on where it is, just that it's in the ocean. Looks like Monday for Davisville! I wish I was on that boat...

I don’t think he is intentionally to confuse you . Because the default layout of the info is like that . I attached a zoom out version of the ship location relative to the land . Let me know if you have hard time getting it

This look legit . What app you’re using and do you need to pay for it ? I paid for the app and if I want to have real-time location , I need to pay 99 cents every 24 hours

I am, as usual, just being a tad cheeky (that's for our British friends). Just thought the picture was humorous, like, "yep, it's still on the ocean."

Hey mind giving us a screenshot for the status of Confucius?

More than halfway there!

I'm not an expert on transatlantic maritime transport yet (though I could very well become one by the time my taycan arrives from reading these threads) but it's very interesting how most of these RORO ships' westbound routes follow a seemingly longer southern route compared to the shorter more direct northern route when they go eastbound back to Emden. I'm sure there's a perfectly logical reason for this. Anyone know or care to guess?

Give me a few days , I’ll dive-in the library and see if I can find some info.

Oh yeah, I knew that, I was hoping the paid app showed estimated dates of departure. I'm guessing it leaves tomorrow. Then a lot of us will know if we're seeing cars this year. Thanks though!

I believe it’s because of prevailing winds. These roll on/roll off ships have a pretty high profile and avoiding steaming into a headwind can save a lot of fuel. Heading back east they benefit from a tailwind.

My 2022 CT 4S is on this voyage. It’s due in Rhode Island Monday.
