A U.S.-flagged car carrier caught fire on Monday and is now adrift in the Gulf of Mexico with 20 crew on board.<\/p>\n

The 199-meter (653-foot) Alliance St Louis<\/em> is operating on emergency power and drifting approximately 135 miles south of Southwest Pass, Louisiana, with the tug Mariya Moran<\/em> on standby at the scene. <\/p>\n

The tug Crosby Endeavor<\/em> is on its way to tow the vessel to Port Arthur, Texas.<\/p>\n

The Coast Guard and good Samaritan vessels are continuing to respond to the incident.<\/p>\n

A Coast Guard aircrew has conducted an over flight of the vessel and confirmed that the fire had been extinguished by the crew. No injuries or pollution have been reported.<\/p>\n

Watchstanders at the Eighth Coast Guard District command center received a report at 3:28 a.m. from the National Command Center of an electrical fire in the engine room of the vessel.<\/p>\n

The Alliance St. Louis<\/em> was built in 2005 and is owned by Alliance Navigation. The vessel is operated by H\u00f6egh Autoliners.<\/p>\n
