Apparently the ship was on the way to Rhode Island. I don’t know how Porsche routes their cars in the US. Do the west coast cars go through the Panama Canal? Mine is on a ship now.

In my experience, yes. I tracked it all the way from Emden.

The Porsche track your dream site is currently not working. No way to get info on specific cars.

Lots of talk about it on the 992 forum:

Our 2022 Macan GTS is on the next ship leaving 2/21. Phew. My dealer lost 3 Porsche's and 6 Audis on the ship. Talked to them this AM they are being told even though they put the fire out and will tow the ship into port, all cars on the ship are a total loss, if not involved in the fire then due to smoke damage. Sorry for any of you that had a car incoming on that ship.

Horrors. The supply chain has been hit badly enough as is. Hope insurance will at least cover the losses for the manufacturer.

Bentley confirmed that they have 189 cars on the ship too,
that's gonna take a long time to remake them.

"after a fire broke out in the hold"...

How many EV's have to go up in smoke due thermal runaway before the masses figure out their Achilles' heel isn't worth the risk?

I have a Macan GTS on that ship. Those with experience in this area on the 992 forum say no matter at this point all cars on the ship are a total loss. 800 is the reported total number of Porsches. With 270,000 annual Porshe production capacity it ought not to affect things that much...er...except for those of us with a car on that ship.

Well, it's been shown that many fewer EVs catch fire than ICEVs, even if you go by a weighted ("per 1000") basis.
Gasoline is inherently more of a fire risk than are lithium batteries, which have lots of safeguards built in, and if/when solid-state batteries
come into the picture for EVs, no such vehicles will catch fire.
But, yes, it will be interesting to see where/how the fire started on this ship, in which cars are packed closely next to each other, whereby one catching fire will spread quickly to the next...
If Porsche had 1200 vehicles on that ship, one can suppose that roughly 300-400 of them (at least) were Macans...

But you can easily put out an ICE vehicle fire, not so with lithium battery fires.

Damn, my ship (Glovis Sonic) just made it across the Atlantic, just ahead of Felicity. So sad, sorry to those affected!!

True, but generally, ICE vehicles don't catch fire by themselves when not running, and even more rarely I would venture, if not running and parked in a garage ... https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...warn-rcna15445
