The fire is in the vicinity of the engine room. I'll give the electric cars the benefit of doubt for now. The small white dot to the right of the arrow is likely the engine room forward bulkhead. The other white dot to the left is a cargo hold bulkhead but the double bottom fuel tanks likely sit between the two bulkheads.

According to Zodiac Maritime, the London-based company managing the ship, smoke was first seen coming from the stern area where electric vehicles were stored.

A fire safety director from the International Association of Fire Fighters said the way the CO₂ system failed to stop the blaze suggests the fire likely started from an electric vehicle battery.

Interesting that you chose to crop your picture to essentially not show where all the smoke was coming from

We had all seen where the smoke was coming from. I thought my markup looked tacky so I didn't use it. Maybe the bulkhead markings weren't as obvious as I thought. Anyways, the engine room occupies the red box and the fuel is in the blue box.
