Cargo Ship Sinks With Luxury Cars

[dj_rice]

The Felicity Ace, the cargo ship that caught fire while carrying thousands of brand new Volkswagen, Porsche, and Lamborghini vehicles, sunk Tuesday morning, according to a press statement.

The ship, which was carrying around 4000 cars, sank after it "suffered a list to starboard," a press release from its operators said Tuesday. The Felicity Ace became submerged around 253 miles away from the Portuguese archipelago of Azores around 9 a.m. local time on Tuesday. A spokesperson for the Felicity Ace told Road & Track the information comes from a local ship salvage team. Bloomberg reports that the ship and its salvage crews were fighting harsh seas before it sunk.

That ship wasn't coming to port of Halifax, so no Canadian cars were aboard.

Isn't this the same ship they reported weeks ago?

They wrote off all the contents last week after boarding the ship for assessment before it sank.

A few people on Rennlist had their cars on the ship, absolutely sucks.

Even more bad news for those with orders in with Porsche. I wonder if the orders for the cars on the ship will ever get built.
