   A team firefighters from the East Sussex Fire Brigade in the U.K., were flown by helicopter last Friday to extinguish a burning Liberian-flag car carrier off the coast of Dover, a spokesperson for the Maritime & Coastguard Agency said.

   The vessel, the “Oriental Highway,” was en route from Portugal to Germany with 484 cars on board.

   “The ship is now proceeding on its own power,” the spokesperson said.
