A cargo ship fire taking 30-plus hours to control should bother people way beyond the shipping industry nerds. We keep stuffing more batteries, cars, chemicals, and cheap goods onto giant floating warehouses, then act surprised when one accident turns into a marathon emergency in the middle of the ocean. I'm not anti-trade, obviously, but the whole system feels optimized for speed and cost until something goes wrong, then crews and taxpayers eat the risk. If companies want the margins, they should pay for tougher fire suppression, better tracking of hazardous loads, and more training before the next one burns for two days.
