Catastrophic fires onboard car carrying vessels occur more frequently than you might think.

The reason you haven’t heard about the following fires is that they didn’t involve electric vehicles:

- February 2017, the MV Honor had a upper vehicle deck fire caused by a starter motor solenoid.

- March 2018, the Grande America capsized following a fire started by a vehicle.

- May 2018, the Auto Banner had an overheated vehicle leading to fire.

- December 2018, the Sincerity Ace went up in smoke with the loss of five crew lives.

- June 2019, the Diamond Highway, carrying 6300 vehicles, was abandoned due to fire.
