How many times will this happen before new rules about EV's being transported are brought in?

If an EV catches fire and sinks a cargo ship carrying 3,000 vehicles and the main stream news doesn't cover it, did it really happen?

I watched this yesterday on what's going on with shipping channel on youtube. I was afraid it was a BMW but I guess it was a Mercedes. The last port call was Germany before the fire so the chances are good.

Do we have a running list of this happening? I remember a similar issue a few months ago.
