Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Dutch Start Towing Burning North Sea Cargo Ship as Smoke Subsides” – below is their description.
Dutch authorities began towing a ship carrying thousands of automobiles days after it started burning off the coast of the Netherlands.
Towing of the Panama-flagged Fremantle Highway, laden with almost 3,800 vehicles including nearly 500 electric cars, began in the early afternoon on Sunday, the Dutch public works and waterways authority Rijkswaterstaat said in a statement.
The ship is being towed “slowly and in a controlled manner” to a temporary location, 16 kilometers (10 miles) north of Schiermonnikoog and Ameland, two of the West Frisian Islands in a UNESCO world heritage site area, according to Dutch officials.
The operation began with the help of salvage companies after smoke from the cargo ship subsided.
