TL;DR Summary

The car-carrying ship Fremantle Highway, which caught fire while transporting thousands of cars, including nearly 500 electric vehicles, from Germany to Singapore, has been towed to the port of Eemshaven in the Netherlands for salvaging. The ship burned for a week near busy North Sea shipping lanes and a migratory bird habitat. Salvage work is underway, and the chosen port was close to the ship's location and offered suitable facilities. The cause of the fire is still unknown, and one crew member died in the incident.
