A cargo ship named Morning Midas, carrying 3,000 vehicles including 800 electric cars, was forced to evacuate its 22 crew members after a fire broke out on the EV deck about 300 miles southwest of Alaska.

The blaze exposed a major weakness in maritime logistics: traditional CO₂ fire suppression systems cannot control lithium‑ion battery fires, which enter “thermal runaway,” burn at extreme heat, and can reignite days later.

Experts note it can take up to 10,000 gallons of water to extinguish a single EV fire, meaning the ship’s load could theoretically require millions of gallons—enough to sink it before the flames were out.

This is at least the third major EV shipping disaster since 2022, following the Felicity Ace incident, and with no international regulations on EV transport until 2027, some shipping companies are already refusing to carry electric vehicles, raising concerns about future bottlenecks in global auto logistics.

In the 1950s, a man had an idea that would forever revolutionize transportation, international trade, and the global economy: Malcom McLean, the inventor of the shipping container.

Born in the United States in 1913, McLean started working at a gas station and saved enough money to buy a second-hand truck in 1934, beginning his journey in the transportation business.

As his company grew, McLean's fleet expanded to over 1,700 trucks with 32 branches, making it the second-largest trucking company in the U.S. by 1955 and even listed on Wall Street.

However, McLean was acutely aware of the inefficiencies of maritime shipping. At the time, goods were transported loosely in cargo ships, requiring manual and time-consuming loading and unloading processes at ports. These delays often extended to weeks, drastically increasing shipping costs.

One day, while observing this process at the Port of New Jersey, McLean had a revolutionary thought: "What if my truck could be loaded onto the ship all at once, cargo and all?"

This idea would change the course of history. He envisioned removing the truck cargo box and loading it directly onto ships. To make this concept a reality, he designed metal containers with dimensions matching his trailers. Thus, the shipping container was born.

Initially, no one wanted to transport these large boxes. Shipping companies dismissed the idea as impractical. Undeterred, McLean bought the Pan-Atlantic Steamship Company, later renamed SeaLand, to implement his vision.

In April 1956, McLean conducted the first shipment: 58 containers transported from Newark to Houston aboard an old World War II oil tanker refitted to carry containers.

The results were astounding. McLean not only shortened shipping times but also transformed the logistics of goods movement from "port-to-port" to "door-to-door." This innovation reduced labor, port stays, and shipping costs.

In 1967, McLean secured a contract to transport military supplies to Vietnam. He realized that instead of returning with empty containers, the ships could stop in Japan and bring goods back to the U.S., opening new trade routes with Asia.

Despite his invention profound impact on the world, McLean contribution has never been fully recognized. He passed away in 2001 and remains relatively unknown to the general public.

In December 1999, Maersk acquired SeaLand international container business. By 2000, Maersk Line adopted the global trade name Maersk SeaLand, cementing McLean's legacy in the shipping industry.
