A nerve-wracking situation for the crew of a freighter off the coast of Japan. The ship, loaded with cars, was shaken by high waves - fortunately the valuable cargo was well secured.
The article discusses a dramatic incident involving the freighter "Fremantle Highway," which was carrying nearly 3,000 cars, including 25 electric vehicles, when it caught fire off the coast of the Netherlands. The fire, which started on July 25, led to the tragic loss of one crew member and injuries to others. The ship, en route from Germany to Egypt, was left adrift in the North Sea, facing high waves and strong winds, complicating rescue and firefighting efforts. The Dutch coast guard and salvage teams are working to manage the situation, with concerns about the potential environmental impact if the ship were to sink, given its cargo of vehicles and the risk of oil or fuel leakage. The article includes video footage showing the freighter battling against the elements, highlighting the severity of the situation.
