A fire broke out on a large cargo ship carrying around 3,000 cars off the coast of the Netherlands on Wednesday, killing one person and injuring several others.
The Fremantle Highway ship was sailing 17 miles north of the Dutch island of Ameland when the fire broke out, Dutch coastguard said.
Rescue workers are working to put out the fire and prevent the ship from sinking.
Some of the crew members jumped off the ship but most were brought to land by helicopter, the coastguard said.
The coastguard's initial findings suggested the fire started during the night in an electric car then rapidly spread.
The crew sought to extinguish the fire but were unable to do so, the coastguard said.
