Ship Fire Originated in Decks Containing Stored Cars


🔥 Ship Fire Originated in Decks Containing Stored Cars.

A ship fire off the Dutch coast that lasted almost a week originated in the upper decks where cars were stored, as stated by the CEO of the salvage company involved. The vessel, carrying almost 3,800 vehicles, including nearly 500 electric cars, was towed to the Eemshaven port in the Netherlands after the fire. Some of the ship's decks with cars remained intact, but the cause of the fire is yet to be determined. The ship was en route to Port Said, Egypt, and the investigation is ongoing. The vessel's cargo includes BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and it will likely take a few weeks to unload at the port. The ship's final destination was supposed to be Singapore, and it is owned by the same Japanese firm that owned the Ever Given, the container ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal in 2021.
