I think this is the 4th ship to burn and drift with electric car batteries.

    I read the fire originated in the electric vehicle area. Wonder what chemistry in the batts?

    Ugly event, any way you look at it. I would also like to know more details, but these events will certainly increase insurance costs for ocean shipping - which is already considerable;
    I always have more questions than answers. That's the nature of life.
