Car Carrier Cougar Ace sinking outside Alaska

<< < (2/6) > >>

Kelvin Davies:
She is loaded.
According to a US Coastguard statement, she is carrying "almost 5,000 cars" from Japan to Canada.
That would be 5,000 very wet & soggy cars in need of a good paint job, I suppose!

Hello everybody,

I want to forecast, that the loaded cars never will be sold. Am I right when i say, there is salted water? That alone makes the chassis rusty, as you surely know.

Best regards

Torben

I am looking for a new car.  Wife says I can use her hairdryer.

Hi Torben,

If the ship is recovered, you can be sure that the car manufacturer will do all it can to make sure these cars aren't sold anymore (not even parts of them). This is exactly because of the salt water damage. For similar reason, the recovery of the TRICOLOR wreck was surrounded by so much security measures. BMW and Volvo did not want dodgy people to steal parts from the damaged cars and sell them as spares in the market...

Brgds.

frederik:
Today "de Lloyd" reports that the Cougar Ace is still floating. According to some reports the Cougar Ace is listing but stable and MOL plans to tow the vessel to a safe port and try to save the cargo.

greetz,

frederik
