The Felicity Ace was carrying cargo, including Porches and Bentleys, from Germany to Rhode Island when it caught on fire.

A cargo ship carrying luxury vehicles is currently floating adrift in the Atlantic Ocean after catching on fire and forcing the crew to abandon ship.

The 656-foot-long Felicity Ace was transporting its cargo from Emden, Germany, to Davisville, Rhode Island, when the fire broke out.

According to a report by The Washington Post, all 22 members of the crew were rescued by the Portuguese Navy and taken to a local hotel. The rescue was a coordinated effort with the Ponta Delgada Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Center and the Portuguese Navy.

The Portuguese Navy said, as of Thursday, the fire is ongoing. An ocean patrol vessel remains to monitor the abandoned ship.

"While it remains too early to confirm what occurred and next steps, we are—along with our colleagues at Porsche AG—supporting our customers and our dealers as best we can to find solutions," said Angus Fitton, Vice President of PR at Porsche Cars North America. "We are in contact with the shipping company and the details of the cars on board are now known."

Meanwhile, Volkswagen has released the following statement: We are aware of an incident today involving a cargo ship transporting Volkswagen Group vehicles across the Atlantic ... At this time, we are not aware of any injuries. We are working with local authorities and the shipping company to investigate the cause of the incident."

With all of this, is anybody else reminded of when the Ever Given blocked the Suez Canal?
