So it says 4 weeks on the tracker but sales man said its at Emden awaiting shipping most probably tomorrow/Saturday. Anyone know of any ships leaving Emden over the next couple of days.

Both those two ships I mentioned will be going back to Emden today/tomorrow, to then pick up more cars (so looking at Sat really) - I also hope mine will be on that boat as well as mine's been sitting at Emden for a day or two now.  My tracker says 3 weeks now though, and has done for the last day or so.

Today been told my GTD is still awaiting a ship. Went to 'in transit' last Wednesday. Nearly a week sitting around. I'm impatient more than ever.

But are you at 3 weeks yet (you should be by now)? Expect to be on a ship around a week after tracker hits "3 weeks" within the "in transit" tab.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Last Thurs? I'd hope to see yours on a ship by the end of the week. Some ports are probably busier than others - it all depends on what they're bringing back to the continent on the return leg.

For Tyne Dock, the return leg is taking newly built Nissans (from the Sunderland plant). At times I would expect there to be more availability of space on a ship from Emden to Tyne than on the return leg (assuming Sunderland supply of Nissans for Europe outweighs demand of German cars arriving in UK for the North East/Cumbria/Scotland). Never seems to be more than a week for Tyne bound cars to get onto a ship.

For other docks, if the demand for ship space on the Emden to UK leg far outweighs the demand for space on the return leg for UK produce going to the continent then maybe Sheerness/Grimsby bound cars have to wait a little longer at Emden for their spot?
