How do I read this? What Ship no and Vessel Name should I track?

I got an email today (3/29) that the vehicle is now on its way to the port of Emden.
In my COMM# report, it's going to stop at Houston.
Ship Departure 04/10/2019(ETA)
Domestic Port Arrived 05/06/2019(ETA)

Ask your dealer to give a copy of the order status like this one below. Once the car has left Emdem, it will show the vessel number which you can match with ship numbers displayed on the ships schedule. The vessel number will not populate until the ship has left port.

My car has arrived at the dealer in Tinley Park, IL. 1 month faster than expected.
But it's going to rain for 3 more days!

@chicago_marketing
I did end up going to the dealer yesterday because they want to close the deal for this month. Finance manager was so pushy.
They still needs to do some detailing and inspection. I will pick it up this Saturday morning.

I took a few photos...nothing exciting. 2 photos were still wrapped in white because I requested them to take a picture for me.

@Everybody
Thank you so much for all your help with any of my questions.

I've custom ordered 7 Porsche's and 2 Volvo SUV's. None of them ever took more than 3 months from order in to customer delivery.

Audi seemingly either isn't set up to efficiently handle custom orders, or is subtlety discouraging them.

When I picked up my car a few months ago, the finance guy screamed at me when I pointed out that he had added back a $200 charge for wheel locks that the sale manager had agreed to waive, as documented by a quote signed by the sales manager and me. He was probably irritated that I wasn't financing and turned down all of the warranties and add-ons, except for Audicare.
