THE Panama-flagged 18,549-dwt car carrier Fremantle Highway that caught fire last week off the coast of the Netherlands has arrived at the northern Dutch port of Eemshaven for salvage, Reuters reports.
One crew member died when the blaze broke out on the Fremantle Highway on July 26 as it was travelling from Germany to Egypt. Seven others who jumped overboard to escape the flames were injured.
"Most of the ship has now been inspected and there are no indications that there is still fire on board," the Dutch Ministry of Public Works and Water Management said.
