"Burning cargo ship relocated off Dutch coast as salvage crews take action"

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.

"Battle against blazing cargo ship halted by fierce winds off Dutch coast"

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.
