MOL Ship Management in Singapore said in a statement that the Felicity Ice sank 400 kilometers (250 miles) off Portugal’s Azores islands while towing. The rescue team put out the fire. The ship’s director, which is 200 meters (650 feet) long, was to starboard before it sank, according to the Associated Press. The Portuguese Navy confirmed the sinking, saying it happened outside Portuguese waters. A Portuguese Air Force helicopter evacuated the ship’s 22 crew members when the fire first broke out, causing the ship to veer off course. Ocean-going tugs with fire-fighting equipment washed the ship’s hull with hoses to cool it. It was not clear how many cars were on board, but ships the size of the Felicity Ace could carry at least 4,000 vehicles. European automakers declined to discuss how many cars and models were on board, but Porsche customers in the United States were approached by their dealers, the company said. insult Source link Related READ MORE 2.4 magnitude quake hits waters off South Korea's northwest coast
