One person is dead and several are injured after a major fire on a cargo ship near Ameland in the Netherlands, Dutch media has reported.
The ship, the Fremantle Highway, was travelling from Bremerhaven in Germany to Port Said in Egypt with around 3,000 cars on board, according to the Dutch broadcaster NOS.
The fire probably started in one of the 25 electric cars on board, the news service added, citing a spokesman for the coast guard.
