LONDON, Jul. 28, 2023 (TBINN)
An Indian crew-member was killed and 20 others were injured when a major fire broke out on board a cargo vessel carrying nearly 3,000 cars off the Netherlands’ coast, with Dutch coastguards warning that the blaze could last for several days.
The fire broke out on the 199-metre Panama-registered Fremantle Highway, which was en route from Germany to Egypt. Several crew members were forced to jump overboard.
Indian Embassy in the Netherlands said in a social media post the fire resulted in the death of an Indian national.
