Towing Operation Clears Burning Car Carrier from Dutch Shipping Lanes

A burning car carrier off the Dutch coast is being towed to a new location away from shipping routes as part of a salvage operation. The ship, which was carrying new cars from Germany to Egypt, caught fire resulting in the death of one crew member and injuries to seven others. The towing operation began on Sunday, and the ship's temporary destination is 16 km north of the Dutch islands Ameland and Schiermonnikoog. The relocation aims to move the ship further away from shipping routes and reduce the risk of the fire spreading.

Salvage crews have begun towing a burning cargo ship, the Fremantle Highway, loaded with thousands of cars to a temporary anchorage off the northern Dutch coast after the smoke from the stricken vessel eased. The ship, which has been burning since Tuesday, is being slowly towed by two tugs to a temporary anchor point while experts monitor its stability. The crews aim to eventually tow the ship to a port, but the location and timing are yet to be determined. One crew member has died, and the cause of the fire remains unknown.
