TL;DR Summary

High winds in the North Sea are hampering efforts to tow a burning cargo ship, the Fremantle Highway, loaded with thousands of new cars off the Dutch coast. The ship, which has been on fire since Tuesday, is carrying 3,783 vehicles, including 498 electric cars. Salvage crews have attached a second towing cable to the ship but are unable to move it due to the strong southwesterly winds. The towing operation is expected to be delayed for several days, and the destination port is yet to be determined.
