Radio France Internationale reported tonight (June 5th evening): "A cargo ship carrying 3000 cars caught fire in the sea near Alaska. The cargo ship was carrying 3048 cars, including 70 electric vehicles and 681 hybrid electric vehicles. The U.S. Coast Guard of Alaska said that the ship named Morning Midas is a ship flying the Liberian flag and managed by the UK, and its operator is Zodiac Maritime. Data from the shipping platform LSEG showed that the Morning Midas departed from Yantai Port, China on May 26th and was heading to Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico."
[Smart] Additional information: The 22 crew members on board successfully escaped using lifeboats after discovering the fire and being unable to extinguish it themselves. It is currently unclear which brands of cars were loaded on the ship. However, from the perspective of economic losses, the insurance company underwriting the cargo ship may suffer the biggest loss this time.
