The ship was carrying 4,500 Chery cars, all of which were destroyed or damaged. Some of the vehicles are electric vehicles, which greatly complicates the execution process.
A fire broke out on a ship carrying 4,500 new Chery cars from South Korea. The accident happened off the coast of Vietnam, according to Tuoi Tre Online.
It was noted that all the vehicles on board were destroyed or significantly damaged by fire. The cargo ship Ah Shin was carrying electric vehicles, which made it difficult to put out the fire – in this case it was dangerous to use ordinary water to fight the fire.
After the fire was discovered, the Ah Shin team used all the carbon dioxide on board – about 50 tons. However, this did not help, and the fire continued to grow. The captain then requested permission to send the ship to the port of Vung Tau city to replenish supplies.
It was reported that after more than a day, the fire on the ship was almost localized. Ah Shin listed five degrees to starboard. All crew are still on board, no one was hurt. The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
Remember that a year ago in the Atlantic Ocean a fire broke out on the ship Felicity Ace, where there were about four thousand selected Porsches, Bentleys and Volkswagens on board. The group left the ship in boats, and the ship with the cars remained adrift.
And in 2020, a capsized ship with thousands of vehicles sank in the ocean.
