tldr:

- Li-ion batteries on fire cannot be put out with water and need special stuff... "often not to hand" on ships like this. Ships carrying hundreds of EVs

- IATA of the sea plans to get around to add new safety measures "next year"

Seems like they were basically crossing fingers until now? I guess ships go down slowly and people usually don't die, and I guess they don't care that much about dumping 2000 tons of fuel oil into oceans on occasion. Cheaper than firefighting measures...
