The crew immediately initiated emergency firefighting procedures using the vessel’s onboard fire suppression systems. However, despite their efforts, the situation could not be brought under control,” the Zodiac Maritime statement read.

According to the video, ICE cars are shipped with nearly empty fuel tanks. Can't do that with EVs.

It’s also believed to be carrying over 3,000 vehicles, including 70 electric and 681 partial hybrid vehicles.

sooner or later all cargo shipping have no choice to carry ev
just need to think solution, like special ejectable platform for ev vehicle
one ev on fire? eject!!

If there is a frequent fire, the shipping line will reject it. Insuarnce will be sky high or won't be accepted.

Unless the EV manufacturing improves the safety.

This bloody manufacturing is killing the EV tech.

EV fans: Confirmed fire started from hybrids! EV are very safe.

No worries, if other lines refuse to EV, we at BYD have already build our own carrier to prove to the world how safe shipping EV truly is.

Don't have to be jealous because we also have..

Always no news car manufacturing.

that why P2 ship the EV without battery....
see so P2 already know how to solve EV from fire....

Fires involving EVs are often harder to extinguish and more dangerous to fight. The conditions of a tightly packed car-carrying cargo ship lead to limited ventilation, which can rapidly intensify heat. The confined, steel-lined environment makes fire suppression and rescues significantly more dangerous.

Additionally, when an electric vehicle burns, it does so for longer and the fire gets hotter. The flames can end up accelerating through chain reactions and spiraling out of control quickly, a process called thermal runaway. EV fires can take up to 30,000 liters of water to cool the lithium-ion batteries.

In 2022, a vessel carrying about 4,000 vehicles caught fire in the Atlantic and ended up sinking despite efforts to tow it to safety. A year later, another ship with close to 3,000 cars on board caught fire near the Dutch coast.

Shipowners have taken steps to try to manage the safety risks involved in hauling electric vehicles. Last year, a key safety group published guidelines on how to deal with fires on board the vessels.

Obviously, we need a 600 foot long car carrier fire blanket..

ev cars not for human use one always kaboom while parking. ice car only kaboom if too fast too furious. moral of the story ice ice baby

Maritime insurance probably more expensive for EV delivery…

No worries, if other lines refuse to EV, we at BYD have already build our own carrier to prove to the world how safe shipping EV truly is.

Can't they just dump the burning EV into the sea?

Can't they just dump the burning EV into the sea?

wana claim insurance :X

Apa brand?

Oh all EV also catch fire

Owaiii

Hope semua burn down kasi the inventory down sikit

producing waste only

Ccp punya theory of manufacturing..
Use 1 time, throw

Trash People = Trash. Unsustainable Fail Economy of Consumption

Yeap.. flooding the world with shit good.. use and throw.. and the crap part is when they throw, the rubbish is exported to country like malaysia to process as recycle good.. mahpugi jibet

How they can even get near to the burning car let alone move it Einstein ??

EV fans : ICE cars have more fire than EV.

Actually why don't they only charge the battery after reaching port? No electricity then no fire. If the battery is full before departure can always donate to me I help them drain by running air con.

This one macam seisohai trusol. He will throw out statistic la yada, then taichi spinning roti Chennai say burn down car show room factory, whole lot of underground car park is fake news yada yada

out of 3000 over cars only 65 are EVs

update. Sunk liao. I wonder how many carbon credits went down with that ship. if lets say 1 in 1000 EV ship car carrier sink, will that offset any CO2 savings from EVs?

Anchorage, Alaska (AP) — A cargo ship that had been delivering new vehicles to Mexico sank in the North Pacific Ocean, weeks after crew members abandoned ship when they couldn’t extinguish an onboard fire that left the carrier dead in the water.

I am more concerned about what kind of contamination that is now leached into oceans that it's going into enter into marine life and we end up eating such contamination indirectly.

That ship only had 70 pure EV and 600 hybrids. But the fire caused by lithium batteries. Imagine those byd super size ships carrying tens of thousands of pure EVs in future

the salt will neutralise it :X

just like most human waste are dump into the sea :X

There has been much speculation that the battery pack from an electric car caused the fire, but this proved to be wrong when offloading the ship. Around 1,000 cars were recovered in essentially good condition - among them all the 498 electrical cars which were on board the ship. However, the cause of the fire is unknown. Investigations started when the ship was moored in Eemshaven.

Our human waste got toxic heavy metals, no right ? Salt can neutralize heavy metals meh ? If can, then how come got research papers by universities indicate that kupang hijau has the highest levels of toxic metals detected in them ?

My colleague from Thailand is calling this ev zero carbon thing bullshit. She is from chiangmai area. This is what she said

1. Near Cambodia border. China is doing some mining in rear earth thingy and contaminated the river inthailand. Fish mutated. Now the citizen are furious with their gov

2. All the big batteries cannot be recycled. And Japan will obly take back batteries that are produce by Japanese car. Good luck for other cars
Well she said that. And I believe it's has some credibility. We only see yhe end product of ev as clean.

but knowing kpang hijau has highest level of toxic, human still eat it, cos delicious      who cares?

As much as I love seafood, I do care and that is why I don't eat seafood any longer and advice all my clients to abstain from them too. Well I cannot afford to have my clients dying from heavy toxic metals now right ? 🙂

untung lar ev manufacture can claim insurance and continue make new car
