A ship carrying 2,500 new Japanese cars anchored in a remote Aleutian Island port, four days after catching fire while en route to Los Angeles, the U.S. Coast Guard said. Fire erupted aboard the Coral Ace on Tuesday, and the ship carrying Nissan autos was prevented from entering Dutch Harbor on Unalaska Island until firefighters could establish that there was little danger of spills or debris marring the coast. The vessel will abandon its original travel plans and return to Yokohama, Japan.
