Did you hear about the car transporter burning and abandoned off the coast of Alaska? Probably not, there are no Porsches on it, like that ship in 2022, and not in port, like the ship in 2020

The cargo ship is carrying around 3,000 vehicles, including 800 electric vehicles, and a fire broke out onboard. The crew abandoned it off the coast of Alaska.

The Liberia-flagged ship left China's Yantai port on May 26 and was on the way to Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico, according to LSEG data


in 2022, a ship carrying Porsches, Audis, VWs, and 200 Bentleys https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2022/02/four-911-gt2-rs-models-and-33-other.html made a lot of headlines, as a lot of rich people had Porsches paid for, but not insured? Just woke up to hear the news that their GT3s were very extra crispy on day

the one in 2020 caught fire on June 4th https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2020/06/an-automotive-cargo-ship-at-port-of.html in port, and the cars were used, getting transported over seas.

    1. You're smart! The current doesn't flow well that way, and the ship would be fighting it, wasting fuel. Makes no sense! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Pacific_Gyre shows the ocean currents (and I presume, the typical shipping lanes follow the currents for fastest delivery, best fuel consumption rate)
