Molenaar told NOS some people were injured jumping into the water, while one crew member had died in the flames.
If they are too dangerous to ship by sea, the companies will stop taking them as cargo.

Sprenza(sp) You Tuber keeps mentioning China's vast hectares of Electric cars. China keeps making them and just parking them in a field.
China knows their electric grid can't handle it, so they don't even make them available to the public to buy. But they get Green Credits from the World bank for making them, they don't have to deliver them. I have suspected that eventually China will dump them on the US. I saw an article yesterday that China is planning on doing just that.

They can't dump them.
US EV market is waaay protectionist. This is why the EU bitched about the so-called Inflation Reduction Act.
In any event, there is soon going to be a fire sale of EVs domestically anyway.
The EVs are just sitting in dealer lots.

US buyers won't be interested in anything made 2 years ago and left in the field. We're buying 2024 MY cars in 2023 for fuck's sake! To sell somebody a 2022 MY car as a new would require major effort and serious price cuts and even then the success is not guaranteed.

A fire blazed on a ship off the Dutch coast with nearly 3,000 vehicles on board on Wednesday, killing one member of the crew and injuring several others, the coastguard said.
The fire began on Tuesday night on the 199-metre Panama-registered Fremantle Highway, which was en route from Germany to Egypt, forcing several crew members to jump overboard. Dutch broadcaster NOS said all the crew were Indian.
Rescue ships sprayed water onto the burning boat to cool it down, but using too much water risked its sinking, the Dutch coastguard said. A salvage vessel was hooked on to stop it drifting.
The fire might last for several days, Dutch news agency ANP reported, citing the coastguard. Smoke continued to billow from the vessel near the northern Dutch island of Ameland.
