Thousands of Audis, Porsches, Lamborghinis, Bentleys and electric cars were likely to be destroyed on an abandoned cargo ship that caught fire in the Atlantic Ocean. The batteries of an unknown number of electric vehicles caught fire aboard the ship.
According to the reports, the Felicity Ace ship was heading from Germany to a port in Rhode Island, the US, when it issued distress signals this week. Some 1,100 Porsches and 189 Bentleys were on board, as well as an unspecified number of Audis and VW.
As per to a statement by the Portuguese Navy, it stated that all 22 crew members were successfully evacuated and did not need medical attention. The 22 crew members did not need medical assistance on arrival, having been taken to a local hotel. The owner of the ship ‘Felicity Ace’ is in contact with the logistic agent in order to draw up a plan for the towing of the ship.
The report further added that it’s unclear at this time whether the batteries are what sparked the fire. Experts in putting out battery fires will be needed to extinguish the blaze.
