A fire on a ship carrying 3,000 cars off the Netherlands coast is suspected of being started by an electric vehicle and killed one sailor, “could burn for days,” the Dutch Coast Guard told AFP News.

Fremantle Highway is carrying 3,000 vehicles. Of those vehicles, 25 are EVs, a coastguard official told the NOS public broadcaster, adding there is suspicion that one of those 25 EVs started the blaze.

“The ship is being cooled to keep it stable.

“Only the side of the ship is being sprayed, not the deck,” said the official.

Controlling battery fires is nearly impossible and might indicate Fremantle Highway could burn for days, if not longer.
