Fire on Ship Carrying Porsches, Lamborghinis Still Burning After One Week
- Ship operator says two tugboats have arrived to spray vessel
- Thousands of Volkswagen vehicles are on board the carrier
The operator of Felicity Ace, the ship transporting thousands of Porsches, Lamborghinis and other Volkswagen AG vehicles, said Tuesday it assumes the car carrier is still on fire almost a full week after the crew abandoned ship.
Two large tugboats are spraying the vessel, a unit of Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd. said on a website set up to provide updates on the incident. They will assist with controlling the position of the ship before an initial salvage team already on site inspects the carrier.
