oh good another ship carrying electric cars is on fire,

Thousands of new cars, including hundreds of electric cars, are presumed lost after a fire broke out aboard the Morning Midas, a car carrier en route from China to Mexico.

Key Points
The Morning Midas, carrying 3,000 vehicles including 800 EVs, was abandoned after a fire broke out mid-voyage from China to Mexico.

Zodiac Maritime confirmed the fire began in the deck housing electric vehicles; the 22 crew members evacuated safely after onboard suppression systems failed to contain the blaze.

This incident follows other high-profile EV-related shipping fires, highlighting growing safety concerns and prompting some operators to reconsider transporting electric vehicles by sea
