One crew member has died and 22 others have been
injured in a fire on a large cargo vessel loaded with
nearly 3,000 vehicles off the Dutch island of Ameland
in the North Sea, officials said on Wednesday.
The fire was reported just before midnight on Tuesday
and was still burning on Wednesday, the Dutch Coast
Guard said. Video posted by the Coast Guard showed
smoke billowing from the 656-foot vessel, as one of the
many ships that responded to the fire doused it with
water.
Lea Versteeg, a Coast Guard spokeswoman, told The
Associated Press that the cargo ship, called the
Fremantle Highway, had been carrying 2,857 cars,
including 25 electric cars.
The cause of the fire was not known, the Coast Guard
said, adding that specialists from a marine salvage
company were assessing the situation, which it
described as “stable at the moment.”

electric cars are too expensive to repair and the
batteries are not recyclable as far as i know.
