Salvage tugs will tow the charred hull of the 6,210-ceu car carrier Fremantle Highway (built 2013) from its current anchorage to the Dutch port of Eemshaven.

The car carrier, operated by Japan’s K Line and owned by Shoei Kisen Kaisha, caught fire with 3,000 cars on board last week, leading to an emergency evacuation of the crew and the death of one seafarer.
