Authorities move Fremantle Highway vessel over 40 miles as they race to prevent ecological disaster
A cargo ship carrying 3,000 cars that has been ablaze off the Dutch coast for nearly a week has been towed to a new temporary position, as authorities race to prevent an ecological disaster.
The 41-mile (66km) operation to move the Fremantle Highway vessel began on Sunday and was carried out “without any problem”, the Rijkswaterstaat national water management agency said.
