Burning RORO ship

Post by VinceAtReal4x4s »

Makes you want that insurance! This is a big RORO car carrier ship currently burning up in the Atlantic. If your 4x4 didn't come over in a container, this is how it was shipped. I bet there were lots of private shipments on this one too, although they only mention the corporate contents (VW, Porsche)

I heard that the ship sank while being towed back to land.
