this is super yacht news with eSysman
hi welcome back to the channel sorry I've been away for a while almost a week now I've
been traveling so yeah so anyway let's get on with the news so on my left here you can see
photographs of m/y A she is in Raz al-Khaima right now and she's been moving between the
World Resort in Dubai and Ral Al Khaima pretty much since she got there in March April time
both is owned by Andrew Melachenko as you all know and he is on currently on the sanctions list his
other vessel sailing I'll say is arrested in Italy you can see from these photographs
here great photographs by the way sent in by an anonymous subscriber or a subscriber who wants
to remain anonymous and you can see that there's still no flag or Ensign on the stern there where
there should be one and also underneath the letter A there should be the the port of the of the flag
State uh he used to say Hamilton there it does not say anything currently which means the boats are
still not registered with a with flag state anyway just uh just an FYI where that boat is and we'll
move on to the next and this is an interesting one I'm sure you'll well I'm sure you'll all
find it very interesting in the last video we mentioned that modes Eclipse was in Marmaris
and we said that there was a there was a bunker next to Mozart Eclipse bunkering fuel you know
if she was filling up with fuel and we said that the boat have been there for quite a long time and
it looked like she may be filling up but we had some information coming to us now I I just want
to preface this but we've not been able to verify this apparently Eclipse did fill up and it took on
one million liters of fuel now to put that into perspective a little we talked about Andromeda
recently doing these big trips from the Seychelles over to Australia and then on to French Polynesia
that vessel which is a big vessel 107 meters has a capacity of 370 000 liters of fuel one
million liters of fuel this boat took and it reportedly costs uh 41 million to Turkish Lira
and that in US dollars is 2.2 million dollars now like I said we can't verify these numbers
but I can verify that 41 million Turkish lira is 2.2 million dollars but I can't
verify that's how much filled but that is probably around about where they would be
and that is quite an incredible amount of fuel isn't it 2.2 million dollars to fill up one time
all right so we'll move on uh quite a lot of people have been asking lately about rev ocean
and what is happening with that vessel that vessel was originally and meant to be delivered in 2021
but there have been various delays with that boat I've got some videos that we did in the past that
you can check out if you want to know more about it now if you don't know what Revolution is it
is a vessel that is being built it's a research vessel but it is being built in the owner's areas
of being built to Super yard standards some people have listed it as a super yacht it's already on
the Wikipedia list of larger super Yachts as the largest super author and it would be the largest
cprs if it was going to be one because it the the the dimensions of the vessel is 183 meters or 600
feet with a gross tonnage of 17 440. now currently the biggest vessel is the biggest super yacht is
Dilbar at fifteen thousand nine hundred so this would be the biggest super yacht but the vessel's
not going to be registered as a super it's going to be registered as a research vessel
anyway the reason we're talking about it is is because they started the build in 2017 and it
was meant to be uh completed in 2021 and then they announced in 2021 that there were going
to be delays and it was not going to be ready until 2024. now I I've been in contact with the
communications director for the build and he's now told me that because of construction delays they
anticipated the delivery of 2025 now now that will be eight years from when it was originally built
when they originally started the build should I say now the owner of this vessel is a Norwegian
billionaire and I was I'm going to put his name on the screen because I have no idea how to pronounce
that I'm not going to try but that vessel has been played with delays 2025 that is a long way
off they said that they've been using the ROV and their submarines and stuff with on another vessel
to to carry out research whilst their boat is still undergoing the final part of the build
phase the hull is completed it was completed in Romania and it was towed up to Norway to to be
completed but it's yeah it's still there as we talk right now all right we'll move on to m/y
Pacific X you'll remember we mentioned this vessel quite a lot recently vessel winds has been in
Turkey since the start of the invasion of Ukraine after it did a a dark trip from the on the Pacific
side of Costa Rica and they did a trip through Panama Canal and across the to turkey with the
AIS Switched Off we've got more coming about that actually in a future video or possibly a podcast
so that the vessel is up to where all tricks again she has renamed herself on AIS as a mmsi
number so she's removed the name Pacific X and put the mmsi number as you can see on the screen and
she has recently in the last few days transited the Suez Canal and so the owner of this boat is
Leonard Mickelson and he was he's been sanctioned by the UK Canada and Australia another thing that
they've done whilst they're on this trip is that the destination which was listed as unknown so
apparently the captain didn't know where he was going but they've changed the destination from
unknown to armed guards on board so there are they are currently broadcasting that as they navigate
a quite treacherous area known for piracy but the vessel is obviously heading in that direction it's
adding East after transition Panama and transiting the service Canal should I say so we'll we'll keep
track I I suspect that the AIS might switch get switched off once they clear that area though all
right so we'll move on to a major story now and this is about Vladimir Putanan and not Vladimir
Putin but Vladimir Putanan he has been sanctioned by the US so the U.S state Department put out a
statement on Friday saying that they have imposed sanctions on Vladimir Putanan who is one of the
richest men according to Forbes he is valued a 25 billion dollars that's with a B 25 billion dollars
now they've they sanctioned Vladimir Putanan but they didn't stop there they they also sanctioned
his wife and his adult children Anders yacht and a company that he owns a major sheriff
called interos which is an investment holding company and he actually controls that company
so that's what the state department the U.S state Department said in a recent statement now
his yacht they didn't name the yacht by name which is unusual now he did have three Yachts which
he used as Charter vessels and they almost look identical all three one was called motor Anastasia
which is now called multi art Wheels with a zed one was called m/y Barbara which we believe he
sold was in general recently and refit in the Amaco Shipyard and the third boat was called m/y
Nirvana now on the super yacht fan website they've said that he that he sold that vessel to somebody
but we believe that he still owns that vessel but if you know different then please get in
touch and we will do a correction on that but we believe that his yacht is Motor Yacht Nirvana
so back to Putanan so he is a former Soviet bureaucrat he was briefly Boris Shelton's
Deputy Prime Minister and he he was one of the people who oversaw the privatization of various
state-run Enterprises which is how a lot of these Russian billionaires became billionaires in the
first place but getting very lucrative deals when they broke up the previously state-run companies
so following the attack on Ukraine or the invasion of Ukraine by Russia he stepped down
from the board of the Guggenheim Museum Foundation something which he was a member of for two decades
he also owns a stake in the largest nickel and Palladium mines in the world Palladium is found
in Catholic Converters on cars and his company produces 40 percent of the world's supply of
that product so you may be wondering why they sanctioned his wife and his children seems
seems a bit harsh but what has happened in the past with certain people like Alexa modoshoff
and Andrew melanchenko is as they've got wind of the sanctions and just before sometimes the day
before or the day of they have removed their names from the you know the ownership of companies and
the second person's name on that list would be their wife or their children or something like
that so they've they've tried to circumvent the sanctions by removing the names from things so
the the US has obviously got wires to that and they've just sanctioned those people as well
there might be more to it than that but that's my thinking on why they've sanctioned those people
okay so that is the The Last Story we've got here we have got an update on Sarafsa the yacht that is
