The cargo ship Morning Midas, containing around 3,000 vehicles including 800 electric vehicles, faced an uncontrollable fire about 1,200 miles from Anchorage. Despite the crew's efforts to extinguish the flames, they reignited after the ship's CO2 firefighting system ran out. All 22 crew members were evacuated safely, with no injuries reported. A tugboat was dispatched for salvage operations. This incident marks at least the third fire involving vehicle carriers in recent years, raising concerns about safety and environmental impact in maritime transport.
The cargo ship Morning Midas, carrying thousands of cars, was evacuated after a fire started in the section where electric vehicles were stored.
Zodiac Maritime has confirmed all crew members are safe, while firefighting attempts on the ship were unsuccessful after carbon dioxide was exhausted.
