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;

Glad the boys on board got home. That is a bad weather place to abandon. Big seas and big winds!
Also a big distance from the sea to the deck where the lifeboat was.
