My eternal thanks to the community for supporting this video: https://www.patreon.com/CasualNavigation ✩ABOUT THIS VIDEO✩ In this video, we investigate the fire onboard the Hoegh Xiamen vehicle carrier. Although that fire was caused by internal combustion vehicles, it leads us on to discussing the dangers posed by lithium-ion batteries and we ask whether that has caused a recent increase in fires on these ships. ✩ABOUT CASUAL NAVIGATION✩ I am a former maritime navigational officer and harbour pilot, with a passion for animation.
