The Felicity Ace, a cargo ship designed to transport vehicles, was reportedly evacuated Wednesday as it was in transit near the mid-Atlantic Azores Islands following reports of a fire aboard the ship, according to The Washington Post. All 22 crew members have been rescued, but the Porsches, Volkswagen, and other brand-new cars left on board, which were set to be delivered to North America, might not be so lucky.

Our 2022 Macan GTS is on the next ship leaving 2/21. Phew. My dealer lost 3 Porsche's and 6 Audis on the ship. Talked to them this AM they are being told even though they put the fire out and will tow the ship into port, all cars on the ship are a total loss, if not involved in the fire then due to smoke damage.

The Portuguese navy prompted to the scene of a cargo ship in the Atlantic Ocean after a distress signal was sent from the Felicity Ace. A fire broke out in the hold of the ship bound for Davisville, Rhode Island after leaving Germany. There were several Porsches and Volkswagens on board, including a 718 Spyder bound for car host Matt Farah.

Boy I'm glad my 718 isn't on that ship.

Confess that I haven't remained up to speed on the P-car numbers game. Isn't thee 718 a Cayman or a Boxsster?

thanks

Good thing they bought marine insurance....

And to think i declined that coverage when i bought the kei truck.... lol

Wasn’t it the “Something Ace” that rolled over in Savannah with a bunch of cars? If so, they’re having a run of bad luck.

Felicity Ace is hot right now.

I'm alright with a bit of smoke damage. Hell, my Honda Civic smelt of smoke every day of it's life with me. I'll take a smoke damaged Taycan for $5,000 thanks.

Does kinda sound like good porn star name, doessn't it?

A ship full of smokin' hot Porsches.

Electric car battery fault perhaps?

Fire on a ship of modern cars? Its probably those insanely priced piece of crap electric cars they are forcing us to buy. Lipo fire i bet. LOL! Lectric sux...

Ship's crew "The car's on fire. Quick, quick, put the fire hose on it. OH CHIT"

This one? The Golden Ray.

Local dealer has 5 cars on this ship :(

Luckily no Honda's

Any Honders onboard and I'd git out there in my dinghy and save them all. I recon with a full bladder I could just about put that fire out me self.
