Here is a screen grab from the IMO International Maritime Organization home page for the ACE showing a pronounced list to the right side.

Video of the fire posted here.
Really hits home on the night video segment as to just how devastating this fire is. https://finance.yahoo.com/video/aban...113706181.html |

Autoweek is now reporting the fire as out citing sources within the Portuguese navy.
The official incident page has no update posted yet for today. Looks like they let it burn out. https://www.autoweek.com/news/indust...-such-trouble/ |

It seems they had no way to extinguish the fire anyway. Only option was to let it burn out. Glad it didn't sink, but why tow it to the Bahama's ??? I doubt they have any facility to deal with this mess.

The article I read said either Europe or the Bahamas - which is puzzling

If they can keep afloat, they are going to need calm calm equatorial seas to tow her through. Choppy seas will swamp her due to the potential for holes in her side just above the waterline, and also likely because the fire has changed her ballast characteristics.
These big ro-ro vessels are known to be prone to roll over in choppy seas if not balanced properly when loaded. Who knows how much the balance characteristics have changed internally with melting steel and a list to the right side now present for several days. Last edited by 70 copo; 02-24-2022 at 12:22 PM. |

A friend thinks his new 911 Turbo may be on that ship, ugh.

Multiple stories now contradict the autoweek story which stated that the fire was out.
Here is the latest: (yes it is still on fire) https://gcaptain.com/felicity-ace-re...inues-to-burn/ |
