Ship Carrying BMW's Still Ablaze off Dutch coast!

zimmta · 07-27-2023, 09:13 AM

I haven't seen this posted yet... One of my friends sent this asking if my car was on this ship (it's not). The Fremantle Highway stopped at Bremerhaven and picked up BMW's...

How awful (for the cars and the people on board).

Sounds like it may be yet another EV catching fire in an enclosed environment. Not a good scene.

EV’s just contributed more pollution than any ICE.

Shoei Kisen Kaisha Ltd., the Japanese firm that owns the vessel, said the final destination for the vehicles is Singapore.

One crew member died. Several injured. Cars replaceable.
