Over 3000 cars caught fire on a cargo ship at sea. The ship's charterer: Due to confidentiality reasons, relevant client information cannot be disclosed at this time.
A roll-on/roll-off ship carrying more than 3,000 cars caught fire in the Pacific Ocean after departing from a port in China, attracting attention in recent days. According to the owner, Zodiac Maritime, all 22 crew members on board the "Morning Midas" ship are safe and have been evacuated. To further understand the cause of the accident and information about the cargo, reporters visited the Shanghai headquarters of SAIC Anji Logistics Co., Ltd. on June 5th. It was confirmed that the company was the charterer of the "Morning Midas" ship and was responsible for the cargo loading plan. The crew staffing and operation management of the ship were the responsibility of the owner. "Currently, we are waiting for the owner's instructions, and our business team is also verifying the relevant information simultaneously," said the company's secretary to the reporters, adding that if they receive accurate information, the company will make further announcements. Anji Logistics staff members also mentioned that they had never experienced a similar incident of a car transport ship catching fire before. Additionally, since the cause of the accident is still unclear and the process of ship accident claims is complex, involving accident investigation, loss assessment, and liability determination, it is expected to take a long time. Furthermore, due to confidentiality reasons, the number and models of the vehicles transported, as well as information about the companies involved in this incident, cannot be publicly disclosed at this time.
