The burning cargo ship Fremantle Highway that has been on fire for three days near Terschelling is expected to be towed away this weekend. The ship will then be moved to a temporary anchorage 16 kilometers north of Schiermonnikoog, Rijkswaterstaat reported. The exact timing of the towing of the freighter depends, among other things, on the smoke development and weather forecasts. However, according to Rijkswaterstaat, it will probably take place this weekend. The tow will take between 12 and 14 hours.

My daily ride is an Urban Arrow cargobike XL. It's overkill for most people, unless you have a) a large family, or b) a small business, or c) are just mad. Riese & Müller make a great range of ebikes at the premium end of the market. Brompton electric if you're short on space, or Tern are other good choices. I really like the Bosch motor in combination with a Gates belt and Rohloff hub gear for heavy duty work and fuss-free maintenance (based on over 11,000 miles experience).
[I would post a pic if I could work out how to do it!]
