this is super yacht news with eSysman hi welcome back to the channel okay so in the last video we
did a story about a chap called Richard Masters who ran a yacht management company in palm of
the bay orchid in Spain called Master yachts and he was charged and arrested in in Spain at the
request of the US government he was charged with committing crimes based on sanctions he is alleged
to have helped Victor Vexelberg the owner of motor yacht Tango to avoid sanctions by creating a fake
yacht on paper at least in order to send payments through the U.S now whenever we do a story about
sanctions or about people being extradited to the us or something like that we always get the same
kind of comments a couple of examples here one says the US will put anyone in jail they want
and push other countries to follow what they want to do and another one says what gives the USA the
right to take someone's property who isn't even a U.S citizen I think actually that last one is
more to do with um taking a yacht well the fact is that Mr Vexelberg was sanctioned in 2018 and
that forbids him from using the U.S financial systems that's one of the things that they put
on him as part of his sanctions he was not allowed to use the U.S financial system at all now what
Mr ossip of the Russian who sets up the shell companies to hide the ownership of the vessel
and Mr Masters did is they basically circumvented those sanctions and took money that was came from
Mr Vexelbeck and sent it to the U.S system so therefore breaking the law and that's the
reason why the US are now trying to extradite and Mr Masters to the US just because he's not from
the US doesn't mean or he's not a U.S citizen or he's not physically in the US does not mean
he cannot break U.S laws and this is a I've just explained a very clear example of how he's done it
now another question or another comment that we got I'll put it on the screen and you can
see it says stop supporting the illegal actions of the US in these thefts known as sanctions please
and what I want to say about that is we are not supporting the us or the UK or anybody for for
doing anything we are merely telling what is happening and we're putting it on the channel
and we're allowing you to make up your own mind as to whether it's right or wrong we do not put
our opinions into these pieces um you know if you look at any of these stories we always give you
the facts and and then if it needs explanation in the sense of the technical side of what it
means towards a yacht then we give that based on our experience in the maritime industry
I'm just simply talking about a story is not supporting that story it's just telling the story
all right so we'll move on in the last video we also talked about m/y Nord and we said that
the vessel had been spotted in a different place but we said we were going to leave it
until the next video it upsets a few people in the comments apparently now the reason we
did that was because we got information through data and photos and videos through showing Nord
and the person told us where they'd taken it but we couldn't verify the location from these photos
so we wanted to wait until we got some footage through which we've got now as you can see on
the screen here this is very clearly Victoria Harbor in the Seychelles so motor has gone
from the Maldives to the Seychelles he was in the Maldives last week and she's now in the Seychelles
now to identify this location I mean if you've ever been there you'll know it but if you haven't
and just for the purposes of verification the two yachts in the foreground there the one on the
right is the 65 meter C Rhapsody and the one on the left is the 65 meter ventum Maris we if we go
to marine traffic and we look at this location you can clearly see those two vessels are on Marine
Traffic that shows us the location of of motor node right we'll give you a little backstory of
multi-art Nord and on hair travels now in around about the 9th of March 2022 she was actually
in the Seychelles this is when the sanctions were being placed on the various individuals
um the owner of the vessel instructed The Vessel to go to a place in Russia what they did is they
said to the crew and we reported this at the time they said to the crew that the British and
European crew that if they wanted to leave they could do so about 18 crew members chose to leave
the vessel before they set off to Russia and then the vessel left on approximately the 9th of March
as she headed she she then headed on a very long journey she went across the Indian Ocean
she went through the streets of Malacca past Singapore up through the South China
Sea past China North North Korea and then eventually arrived in Vladivostok in Russia
where she stayed for quite a number of months now this was also supposedly the location that
m/y Amadea was heading to when she went across the Pacific and then went into Fiji probably to
refuel and then you know what happened there with Amadeus she's now in the custody of the
US in San Diego in in the end only Motor Yacht Nord did that trip now on the 6th of
October we broke the story that Nord had left Vladivostok and it was arriving in Hong Kong
now she arrived in Hong Kong and that upset a few people it created tensions between the Hong Kong
authorities and the U.S government The Vessel was there for about a month anchored in in the burglar
in Hong Kong and then she put in a destination of Cape Town and South Africa on an AIS and off she
said that we broke that story also that she was headed to South Africa Cape Town's mayor and the
Premier Minister in Cape Town in that Province to be to call for the yacht to be denied entry into
Cape Town and there was a bit of a hoo-ha there with with different people saying different things
but ultimately the South African presidency in Pretoria said that the sanctioned Russians
mega yacht was free to dock in South Africa in South African ports now it was all mooted anyway
because the vessel never made it that far a couple of days after going into the Indian Ocean from the
Malacca Straits she disappeared she went dark turned off her AIS and then disappeared now a
few weeks a week or so later I think it was maybe 10 days later we got word through that she was in
the Maldives from various awesome people who contacted us to let us know our location and
we've shown you different locations she's been in in the Maldives ever since and again we've had the
same thing happen here the vessel has relocated to the Seychelles Nord has now done a complete round
trip from the Seychelles to Vladivostok in Russia which is near North Korea and then back again to
the Seychelles if you are if you are heading to the Seychelles of your currently in the Seychelles
keep an eye out for her because she's most likely going to be there now for quite a while
all right with it being Friday I'm going to leave you with a good story
multi Ultra falga is for sale this vessel is listed with ocean Independence and it is described
as a classic gentleman's yacht which has been lovingly restored the 40 meter yacht was built
in 1975 and it was run successfully as a charter yet before being extensively refitted and rebuilt
in the United Kingdom then relaunched in 2016. again that is from their website it sleeps 10
guests in five cabins and it is having a thorough and extensive refit of the Interiors exteriors
and Technical Systems so it's an old boat but it's apparently it cruises like a new vessel
the asking price for this vessel is 2.35 million euros with ocean Independence whom we have no
affiliation with by the way know that we have any affiliation with it and the other other
Yacht Company the yacht management company now the reason why I brought it up you might be wondering
it's a small boat it's two 2.35 million euros you know it's not the kind of boats we normally
talk about but I thought this was quite cool this vessel was in the opening sequence of the
1987 James Bond movie The Living Daylights I'll show you a little clip of it here so we don't get
demonetised I I can only put a little clip in but you can see here in the opening scene that there's
a this video is actually on YouTube this is where I got it from so you can go and check it out I'll
put a link below but yeah this is both that the the James Bond actor lands on is this very vessel
that is for sale so I thought that was quite cool you've also seen some of the footage here that
you've seen as a video that ocean Independents have put on their YouTube page which I will put
a link to in all the normal places I would say that if anyone from Ocean Independence is watching
please get in touch we would love to come to the vessel and do a video we can even record one for
you free of charge but we'd love to be able to come on board and make a video walking around the
boat so that's it I just wanted to bring that up I thought that was quite a cool way to end the week
with a James Bond scene super yacht Five Points if you can name the actor who played James Bond in
this film all right guys I'm gonna leave it there just remember to check out our patreon page at
