Two reasons possible.........

1) The main ships are either been in dry-dock (May 11th --> 20th) or will be next week (May 31st -->?).

or more likely...........
2) Your Scirocco arrived late at the docks and missed the shipping slot. In the past it has taken 4 weeks to recover to get a new allocated slot on board a transport ship. Rare to happen but it does unfortunately. They may have had a problem with the car to solve during production which needed lengthy correction.
