A few weeks after it caught fire, a cargo ship carrying cars, including lectric vehicles,sank in the North Pacific Ocean.

The ship named Morning Midas, was taking 3,000 new cars, 800 of them were EVs, to Mexico. The crew had to leave the ship after a fire broke out that couldn’t be extinguished.

The ship sank in international waters near the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, according to Zodiac Maritime, a company based in London that manages ship. The fire damage, along with rough weather and water getting inside, caused the Morning Midas to sink. It went down to a depth of 16,404 feet, about 415 miles from land, according to the Associated Press.

Cleanup Teams Ready Near Sinking Site

After the ship sank, a US Coast Guard spokesperson said there was no “visible pollution” in the area. Officer Cameron Snell also said that Coast Guard ships are on standby and ready to take action if any signs of pollution appear.

A few salvage boats with pollution control equipment have been placed near the area where the ship sank. They are there to help in case of any pollution or floating debris. The ship’s management company, Zodiac Maritime, will also send another vehicle to help with the cleanup, according to the Associated Press.

Crew Rescued After Fire Off Alaskan Coast

The 600-foot cargo ship caught fire about 300 miles off the coast of Alaska on June 3. The ship sent out a distress signal, and the US Coast Guard quickly responded.

All 22 people on board were safely evacuated in lifeboats and rescued by a nearby merchant ship. No one was hurt.

The ship was on its way to Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico. The Coast Guard sent planes and a cutter ship to try and put out the fire. When that didn’t work, a salvage team was sent a few days later, after the fire had badly damaged the ship.

The ship, flying a Liberian flag and built in 2006, left Yantai, China for Mexico on May 26, according to marinetraffic.com.
