Rescuers are racing to salvage a US-bound cargo ship in the Atlantic engulfed in flames with 4,000 cars on board including Bentleys, Audis and Lamborghinis.
The operation is taking place off the Azores archipelago where the 'Felicity Ace' cargo ship caught ablaze at sea on Wednesday.
Lithium-ion batteries in the electric cars on board have caught fire and the blaze requires specialist equipment to extinguish. Investigators are probing whether the batteries started the onboard inferno.
The ship is still ablaze and plumes of white smoke are billowing from the vessel as a Portuguese navy ship works to stop it sinking with the 3,965 Volkswagen AG vehicles on board, including 1,100 Porches and 189 Bentleys, thought to be worth a combined £120 million.

I read the fire is the electric batteries burning.
Now, that’s funny.
I’m sorry it is happening, but if that’s what it takes to dead-end -vehicles, that’s what it takes.
Where is Greenpeace????
Batteries exploding caused Bush fire, one of the largest forest fires in AZ history.
Well, we must save the Earth, whatever it costs!!!
Unsafe when afloat
Oh no. Not the Bentleys!
And the Porches, and Linguinis!
No Chrysler LeBarons were damaged in this incident.
The Fusillis were also fine..
Exactly!
That was Jon Voight’s car!…
“plumes of white smoke are billowing from the vessel”
Shouldn’t the smoke be green?
If Nader had been alive in the nineteenth century he’d have damned the horse-and-buggy.
I get the greenies thinking by this argument:
The one thing that leaves the greatest carbon footprint in the earth, a million times more than anything else, is wildfires.
To save the earth, manage the forests. To save the trees, thin the forests.
This will have some serious ramifications in the near future.
Will it be possible to put a bunch of electric cars on an automobile cargo ship again? Will this end the overwater transport of these cars forever? Imagine the insurance costs, and no ship owner will want to risk his ships with these things again.
Algore should get on his internet and calculate the carbon footprint for this inferno.
Haha. I knew it had to have some very high end order-made cars in that inventory. It takes anywhere from about 10 months or more before a buyer can take delivery of a Bentley since they are handmade. Gotta suck for some young commie jerks out there, but I do feel sad for any good conservative who was waiting for a nice new ride to show up.
