Burning cargo ship north of Terschelling will be towed this weekend

The burning cargo ship Fremantle Highway that has been on fire for three days near Terschelling is expected to be towed away this weekend. The ship will then be moved to a temporary anchorage 16 kilometers north of Schiermonnikoog, Rijkswaterstaat reported. The exact timing of the towing of the freighter depends, among other things, on the smoke development and weather forecasts. However, according to Rijkswaterstaat, it will probably take place this weekend. The tow will take between 12 and 14 hours.
