It happens. Nothing to worry about. The people that operate these are consummate professionals. Having sailed on one from Bremerhaven to Brunswick a number of years ago, I can speak first hand to how they conduct themselves and ensure the security/safe arrival of the precious cargo on board.

Via Molroro site...looks like the Valiant Ace schedule has been updated. Honduras today, El Salvador tomorrow, Guatemala on Saturday. Then, up the West Coast to Long Beach and Port Hueneme by 8/30 and 8/31...

Here's the ultimate destination before release: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mercedes-Benz+Vehicle+Preparation+Center/@33.8274029,-118.141914,18z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x80dd324730018abf:0x119e4435e977a dc4!8m2!3d33.828269!4d-118.1422352?shorturl=1
Vehicles are trucked (not driven) from Port to VPC in most circumstances.

The Martorell arrived in Long Beach yesterday. So I guess I just have to exercise some serious patience for the cars to be released. Where can I find the list of when the cars get their EPA certification?

MBWorld Fanatic!
Valiant Ace is on her way to Long Beach. Port contact there said the ship is operating normally and no further delays in schedule are expected.

Also, just to be clear. No 63 car that was emissions tested last year is waiting for emissions approval. There were no meaningful or significant changes that would alter emissions results. This is purely marketing/business.

100% sure about this? No need to certify annually?

Would love it if they didn't have to--meaning it's just the one roadblock (MBUSA) versus an additional one (gov't).

This isn't always true. But in the case of the 63-series cars, should hopefully be the case.

Even if there are potential software changes? I'm totally ignorant about this--but figured with recent software "cheats," if there was a change in software (which I'm not sure if there even is a change for the E63S for 2019), the gov't would want to retest?
