Audis, Porsches, Lamborghinis and VWs stranded on burning cargo ship

Volkswagen’s car supply headaches have been added to by a blaze on a cargo ship containing thousands of Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini and VW vehicles.

Franchised car retailers in the US are contacting expectant customers to inform them of the incident aboard Felicity Ace, a vessel roughly the size of three football fields, according to recent reports by Bloomberg.

The news outlet reported that the ship – destined for a port in Davisville, Rhode Island – caught fire near the Azores islands in the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday (February 16) and all 22 crew members were successfully evacuated.
