Ship ablaze off Dutch coast carrying almost 500 electric cars
The car carrier burning off the Dutch coast since Tuesday night (July 25) is carrying nearly 500 electric vehicles, ship charter company “K“ Line said on Friday (July 28), significantly more than the 25 initially reported by the coastguard.
The fire on the Panamanian-registered Fremantle Highway, which was carrying new cars, resulted in the death of an Indian crew member and injury of seven others who jumped overboard to escape the flames.
There were 3,783 vehicles on board, including 498 battery electric vehicles, a Tokyo-based spokesperson for K Line (Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha), which had chartered the vessel, said. He declined to say anything about the car brands, including whether or not it included any cars from Japanese manufacturers.
