this is super yacht news with eSysman - hi welcome back to the channel there's a lot of stuff going
on today so let's get straight into it so first of all update on motor yacht Garçon and Halo
they have been crossing the Atlantic and in the last video a couple of days ago
they were approaching Gibraltar and they had their destinations as Casablanca and Agadir in Morocco
in that video i said that there was no no likelihood that they were heading there now
and "Halo" had already changed the destination to "Tanger Med" and as i was after i'd filmed that
video and i as i was editing that video Garçon also changed its destination to the same place
i put it in on the text as as i was as i was editing and in the banner
however since then they have both changed their destinations again "Halo" is now showing
a different destination as you can see on the screen here so there's a technical term in the
industry and we call it plain silly buggers and they're just changing their destinations that
i suppose they think that they're keeping people confused about what's going on but they're heading
in a straight line so it doesn't really matter almost certain that they're going to turkey
to join the rest of Abramovich's fleet out there anyway we'll move on from that story the big news
is of course is that after a lot of debate and a lot of threats the vessel known as Y721 a 140 or
130 meter sailing yacht that's being built at Oceanco in the Netherlands has finally moved so
the back story was that people found out that they were going to complete the vessel at the shipyard
Ocean coast shipyard and then remove the center section of a of a historic bridge in Rotterdam
and this irked the the locals there which for for good reason that bridge was
one of the first things to be repaired after the end of world war II and after more maintenance in
2017 the government there said that they will never dismantle this bridge again- now i have
heard stories that there was a provision put in that the center section could be
removed two times per year for necessity of this kind of thing but i think the fact that the vessel
belongs to Jeff Bezos or allegedly belongs to Jeff Bezos (has not been confirmed yet )
that was the problem with this particular vessel and obviously if you'll remember( if you watch my
videos) - a group of people got together on facebook and they arranged to go down to the
bridge and throw eggs at the yacht as it passed by now it sounds funny i know but the reality is
Jeff Bezos not going to be on board the shipyard personnel would have been on board along with the
yacht crew and they were the ones that would have been potentially assaulted by whatever was thrown
because other things could have been thrown as well as eggs right so anyway they they scrapped
that plan to take the vessel down completed and this is the thing that i've said all along that
it sounds obvious or seems obvious to me that all they have to do is is sail the mass down
on a barge or something and then tow the yacht down past that bridge past the the obstruction
and then put the masts in afterwards now the the shipyard didn't want to do that because they said
it was better to do it in their in their facility because they've got all of their equipment there
and it's easier for them but obviously once once they got wind of this potential threat
they they obviously decided it was it was safer for everybody to to not do that so
they so the masts were transported and they did go through that that area where the bridge is
but yesterday morning second of august the the yacht was moved in the darkness
using a cover of darkness to get this vessel to its destination and they actually
took a different route bypassing that bridge altogether -in a German newspaper called De Spiegel
somebody was there who was there trying to take photographs of the boat said that the people on
board were shining searchlights in the towards anybody who was there with a camera or anybody who
was trying to observe what was going on making it very difficult for anybody to take any photographs
it's kind of understandable really considering the threats that were put against the vessel
but the vessel's been moved to another facility and they're going to erect the mass there and then
hopefully soon they'll go for sea trials and then the vessel will be delivered to her owner
which is supposedly Jeff Bezos- it's going to be interesting to see how that vessel is received
when it goes to other ports when the vessel is actually- after the vessel's delivered- isn't it
all right so we've got some sanctions news the the US government have released a new list of
sanctions now we've been through the the list and the the standout people on that list are 2
people Andrei Guryev and Andre Guyev so they are father and son and they have been named
in this latest round as i said and Andrei Andreevich Guryev born in 1982 and he
lives in Moscow in Russia and Andrei Grigoriovic Guryev born in 1960 that's the father -
he also owns one of the biggest properties in London i think it's second only to Buckingham
Palace and it's a 41 Highgate West Hill in London that's in the sanctions by the way
that that's listed there as as his address now the reason why this is interesting is because
the US government has also added some more yachts to the sanctions list -now the first
one is motor yacht Alpha Nero- now Alpha Nero actually belongs to Andre
Guyev so Andre both both the Guryev it's hard to know which one i'm talking about but the father
father Guyev and Anderson they were both sanctioned in march by the EU and by the UK
and now the US has followed suit and put sanctions on them too now since they were sanctioned "Alfa
Nero" has been sat in the Caribbean and it's not being arrested as such but the fact is that
because of the sanctions they are unable to pay their fees for crew and you know they're unable
to move money around especially through the us system - it's actually illegal for them to
spend to pay money in any US systems like swift and stuff like that and that's basically crippled
their ability to use the yacht so the yacht's been sat out there with a skeleton crew in Antigua
now interestingly today since then i've had some alerts about them changing the AIS status
now the vessel hasn't moved anywhere as i film this but the the AIS state destination was updated
today not to anywhere -but to somewhere else in the island but it's interesting that the day or
the day after sanctions are placed on Mr Gayef that the vessel suddenly hasn't hasn't pinged
anything for a long time and suddenly today it has what is missing from this list of sanctions
and this is something that the u.s government might not be it might not yet be aware of but
there is another yacht belonging to the earth's that is affected by the sanctions placed on them
and that's "motor yacht Luminosity" now luminosity has been sat in Montenegro in Tivat in Montenegro
it's been sat there for the same length of time that "Alfa Nero" has been sat in
the Caribbean more or less now the the reason why they might have missed this one is because
the vessel was purchased and it was purchased a week before they were sanctioned so the vessel was
basically delivered to Montenegro by the shipyard - the backstory of luminosity is that
the original owner refused delivery of that vessel and so the shipyard was trying to sell it
and then they sold it to Andre Guryev and a week after it was delivered to Montenegro he
was sanctioned now because of that the vet that vessel also has a minimum crew on board
and hasn't gone anywhere for that whole time so i'm not quite sure
what's happening with the crew on board either of these vessels how they're getting paid
if they're being paid at all because like i said because of the sanctions they're unable to
transfer money through the normal systems but the fact that they've still got chrome boards suggest
that some payments is being made in some way or maybe promises of payments after this is all
over i don't i don't know if anybody's got any information please get in touch about that one
but yeah that's very interesting that that boat is not on the list of sanctions
although it is owned by Mr Guryev i believe the Senior but i might be wrong on that one too
so yeah that's quite an interesting turn of events with the sanctions there on the Guyer's -so there's
one other vessel that was placed on the sanctions list and this one's a bit confusing this on that
same list that was published yesterday motor yacht Axioma has been has been added to that list
now if you watch my channel regularly you'll know that that vessel's already been seized
and is sat in Gibraltar it's been seized by the Admiralty Court in Gibraltar and is going to be
is due to be sold this month on the 23rd of august this month that vessel's going to be
sold at auction because the vessel was seized by the admiralty for debt owed to JP Morgan so i'm
a little bit confused why they've added that vessel to the sanctions list because in a few
in 3 weeks time it's not going to be owned by the current owner or the owner of that boat before
it was seized and that's Dimitri Pompianski now that vessel's already been taken from him so i'm
a little bit confused i think there might have just been some cross wires there and
the US has put that on there not realising that vessels already been sanctioned
all right i'm going to leave it there a lot of information to to go through there to digest
there a lot of movements you get these days where everything seems to happen in one at one per one
period of time but very interesting nonetheless if you've got any information about anything that
