Looks like the Martorell is anchored at the entrance to the Panama Canal. If you wanna try to catch a glimpse of it as it enters the canal, here's the link to the live camera feed at the locks on both ends.

Very cool!!!
I'm still waiting for mine to show up from Georgia...European Delivery folks say the car stays at the VPC from 10 to 20 business days...
Mine has now been released to the transportation company. My salesman is trying to find out which one, and get a solid ETA.
My advice to you is, once your car clears customs, start calling European Delivery to get your car moving!!!

That's correct, I think I'm the only one left with an ED on the Martorell. Chances are your car takes less time at the VPC. ED cars supposedly get thoroughly checked out for any damage incurred while driving in Europe, and they have to be reprogrammed. The ECU and navigation system have to be programmed for the USA. I already know that mine will have to go to the detailer or body shop as I slightly scratched my rear bumper and nicked the right front wheel. The scratch should polish out, but I'm curious what they gonna do about the wheel. Hopefully your car didn't get damaged on the way over here, otherwise it'll have to spend more time at the VPC.

And it looks like the Martorell is about to enter US waters!!!

That's the plan. I was gonna follow up with them as soon as I get the notification about my car having cleared customs. The Martorell should be docked tomorrow morning.
Maybe they can't find space at the port yet...?

Yeah but 6 hours?? I'm thinking the ship was late (it was supposed to arrive at 5am Pacific, but got there at 6:30am) and lost it's spot and got put on the back burner...LA seems to be so slow about everything and everything gets delayed...

Based on the original schedule I got from the logistics company they were scheduled to arrive August 7, so they are almost a week late. I'm guessing there are other vessels occupying the auto terminals at the moment. It sat anchored for over 24 hours at the Panama Canal before docking at the port of Balboa as well.
