oh good another ship carrying electric cars is on fire,
Sam Croft MarineTraffic


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

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
