A large cargo vessel carrying cars has sunk in the Atlantic Ocean, thirteen days after a fire broke out on board.
The ship's manager and Portuguese navy confirmed on Tuesday that the Felicity Ace sank around 400 kilometres off the Azores.
The Panama-flagged vessel was being towed after a salvage team had extinguished the fire, MOL Ship Management in Singapore said in a statement.
The 200-metre-long vessel had been sailing from Germany to the United States before it caught fire last month. Portugal's Air Force had evacuated the 22 crew members, before letting the ship drift for several days in the mid-Atlantic.
Ocean-going tugboats with firefighting equipment had been hosing down the ship’s hull to cool it.
