The big variety of electrical automobiles on board a ship that’s drifting ablaze within the Atlantic Ocean is complicating efforts to extinguish the hearth, the Dutch specialists contracted to salvage the vessel stated Sunday.
It’s unclear whether or not the blaze was brought on by the electrical automobiles, whose lithium-ion batteries have been identified to catch fireplace, however the presence of burning batteries on board means SMIT Salvage, the corporate contracted to rescue the ship, is dealing with fireplace that spreads quick and can’t be fought with water alone, the corporate’s homeowners stated.
