A cargo ship carrying thousands of vehicles that caught on fire near the Azores has now sunk into the Atlantic Ocean, officials confirmed on Tuesday.
The Portuguese Navy confirmed on social media that the Felicity Ace sunk about 25 nautical miles outside the limit of the Azoresâ economic zone in the Atlantic. The ocean depth, naval officials estimated, is about 10,000 feet in that area.
âThe weather was pretty rough out there,â said Pat Adamson, a spokesperson for MOL Ship Management, which operates the vessel, according to Bloomberg News. âAnd then she sank, which was a surprise.â
