This is super yacht news with eSysman
hi guys welcome back to the channel welcome back to another kind of crazy news day
in the super yacht world so - it's the 7th of March we'll just get straight into it
all right in yesterday's video i talked about a boat being seized in in Imperia in Italy
"motor yacht Lady M" and i mentioned that the owner of it is a man called Alexei Mordechov and he
his net worth is 29 billion dollars and i said that the boat is "Lady M"- it's a 65 meter boat
seems like a small boat for a man with so much money to have right well he also owns another
boat which i mentioned in the video and that boat is called "motoryacht Nord" now as you can see from the
footage here this is a massive boat 141 meters or 464 feet long so it makes it one of the largest
boats in the world it was built by Lürssen and it was delivered just last year in 2021 so
Alexei Mordejoff is on the Russian sanctions list and that's why his boat was seized obviously in
Imperia yesterday so his other boat is currently in east Africa in the Seychelles islands
and so he's outside any sanctions but sources tell me that all is not well on board
some of the crew have been have been let go and initially was believed that this was because of
the sanctions putting a squeeze on the money but i wonder if it's because they the boat is about
to go somewhere and he doesn't want the european crew members to know where that is so people are
being let go maybe they're bringing in people from Russia to be on board the vessel is reported to be
heading to a safe harbor with some other boats fleeing sanctions so more on that a little bit
later so i mentioned i mentioned in a previous video about a boat called Galactica Supernova II
left Montenegro after refuelling and then disappeared in terms of "AIS" anyway and so we
don't actually know where that vessel is right now so another boat that has disappeared is
the 99 meter or 234 foot "super yacht Madame Gu" now she's famed for having a bright blue hole
and she's also she also famous for the yet the new color that Porsche put on their cars is
called "Shark Blue" and the story is that the the guy who runs the GT department Andreas Proninger
saw a superyacht whilst on holiday and he said he loved the color of the hull
and that's where the color comes from for the new car well that's "Madame Gu"
the vessel was seen leaving dubai yesterday 6th of march and before she'd even finished
getting out of the the maneuvering area the ais was turned off and she disappeared on the
28th of February Switzerland who traditionally stays neutral in this and is frequently used
as a haven for offshore wealth announced it would freeze the assets on all individuals sanctioned by
the EU and this includes the owner of "Madame Gu" Andre Scotch and the Swiss freezing assets
may be the reason why a lot of these superior toners are struggling to pay their crew salaries
now you can see the trend of this video is about disappearing super yachts
it's all the rage these days so "motoryacht Amadea" is the next boat we're going to talk about
so "Amadea" it was built in Rensburg in Germany and it was delivered in 2017. Now almost from
delivery this vessel was up for sale not that many people in the world that can buy a 106 meter
or 348 foot yacht the vessel was for sale for a long time before it was sold quite a few years
but it was advertised in multiple places seemed to be quite urgent to get this vessel sold.
I took this drone footage in in the south of France -
and I notice that from above it kind of looks like a imperial starship from "Star Wars" right well the funny thing
is about this is that the company that owns the management company that looks after this vessel is
called "Imperial Yachts" and they in their own words they refer to this yacht as part of their Imperial
fleet which i thought was quite funny - the vessel's ownership is steeped in mystery as is the vessel
itself as it's managed by as i said Imperial Yachts that the name of the guy who runs it
I can't even begin to try and pronounce this i'll put it on the screen but they operate in ultra
secrecy and as far as i know it's the only management company in the yachting industry that
requires a non-disclosure agreement to be signed by potential crew before they have an interview
so "Amadea" as i said was it was for sale pretty much straight away she was originally owned by
Igor Sechen who is in the recent EU sanctions list and he he's also reportedly the owner of "Amore Vero"
which was seized in "La Ciotat" in this in the south of France shipyard in the south of France
a few days ago now the the the ownership has been the ownership of that vessel has been challenged
by the management company they're saying that he doesn't own it anymore and that it was sold
a few years ago but it's still currently arrested in "La Ciotat" the current owner of "m/y Amadea"
he's a Russian billionaire and he's also on U.S. and EU sanctions lists his vessel "Amadea"
disappeared at least from an "AIS" point of view on the 24th of February 2022 the day of the
invasion of Ukraine so earlier i mentioned that "Nord" was heading to a secret location
well from what i understand "m/y Amadea" is planning to head to that same location and is
reportedly in Russia so we've got "Madame Gu" leaves Dubai yesterday almost immediately the
ais stops transmitting we've got "m/y Galactica Supernova" leaves Montenegro a few days ago after
refueling "AIS" stops transmitting "m/y Amadea" no "AIS" for 11 days -"AIS" stops transmitting the
day of the invasion of Ukraine -"Quantum Bleu" leaves Monaco after being temporarily detained head south
out of europe most likely going to "Port Said" to go through "Suez Canal" - "Aurora "being hastily
prepared to leave Barcelona ahead of possible sanctions -well listen guys if you are on any
