Cargo Ship Fire in Pacific with 800 EVs Highlights Lithium - Battery Risks in Maritime Shipping
2025-06-09
On June 3, 2025, the cargo ship “Morning Midas” faced a crisis as it burned in the North Pacific Ocean. Carrying 800 electric vehicles (EVs) among its 3,000 - vehicle load, the ship's lithium - ion battery - fueled flames overwhelmed the crew's firefighting efforts, forcing a full evacuation. Miraculously, all 22 crew members were rescued safely.
This incident isn't an isolated case. Lithium - ion battery fires are notoriously dangerous, emitting high heat, toxic gases, and often reigniting. Allianz Commercial Insurance’s 2025 report reveals a ten - year high in ship fires in 2024, with vehicle carriers at significant risk.

Thankfully, there’s a practical solution: EV car fire blankets. These lightweight, easy - to - use blankets are made from high - heat - resistant material, cutting off oxygen to suppress flames. Deployed quickly in the early stages of a fire, they can prevent disasters.
As the global EV market grows, maritime transport of these vehicles increases. Equipping ships with car fire blankets isn't just a suggestion—it's essential for safeguarding lives and cargo. The maritime industry must prioritize safety and adopt this crucial solution.
