    Felicity Ace car carrier on fire with crew having abandoned ship

    Ship that departed Emden sounds like it’s on fire and adrift…hope they rescue the crew safely.

    Lots of Porsches may be headed to the bottom of the sea:

    Another kind of "supply chain problem"

    KMM:

    189 Bentleys.

     

     

    That would be the curious bit. All Bentleys are made in England.

    But then again it could be that the ship was at England loading those them head over to Germany to pick up the other VAG cars before heading to the USA. 

    Make sense as VAG probably chartered the whole ship.

    I can't image how I would feel if my car was on that ship.

    Those cars are all for there USA market, as cars destined for the Canadian market will be heading to Halifax instead.

    According to the NYT, Matt Farah has 718 Spyder on that ship. Frozen berry.

    What are the odds on it being a Taycan fire?

    4000 to 1? 500 to 1? 50 to 1? 10 to 1? 1 to 2? 

    Could also be ID4 that caught fire too.  There must have been some onboard. 

    The long shot odds will be someone put a Model 3 there and it caught fire.

    Could also be the galley that caught fire while cooking.

    Engine room is another suspect.

    I didn't expect the ship to sink.  Must have been a pretty bad fire.
