The freighter Felicity Ace, carrying thousands of luxury cars, is at risk of sinking

A thick plume of smoke stretches for miles across the North Atlantic. The cargo ship “Felicity Ice” caught fire. Almost 4,000 luxury cars have already been lost on the cargo ship. But the ship is now in danger of sinking several thousand meters to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. An expert told “WirtschaftsWoche” that such a large fire causes severe damage to the hull of the ship.

A shipment of 4,000 luxury cars has already been written off. “Sending people in a burning car to put out a fire is very dangerous,” the expert added. New cars from the brands Audi, Bentley, Porsche and VW became a fiasco. Sales should reach half a billion euros.
