this is super yacht news with eSysman
-hi welcome back to the channel okay so motor yacht Garçon and motor yacht Halo are now
both arrived in Gojek in turkey after that massive trip from Antigua 5 000 nautical miles
approximately now if you remember a few days ago Garçon went ahead of halo who stopped in Algeria
to refuel and Garçon didn't need to refuel and the vessel went towards a place called Fetai
and then switched off AIS to make it look like the vessel was stopping there and then changed
course and went to go Gojek anyway -we had some photographs sent in to us that showed that it was
in Gojek and we could confirm that by the vessel m/y Ana that was behind the vessel in the photo
and that was broadcasting AIS when we received the photo so we knew that was confirmed to us
that the vessel was there well now m/y Halo has arrived also however they didn't bother with the
charade of trying to switch off AIS and point in another direction they just went straight to Gojek
and they're still broadcast on the AIS so they they gave up on that one so the reason
why we track these vessels as i mentioned in the last video is because they have
been confirmed by the UK government through an investigation in the British Virgin islands as
owned by Roman Abramovich. He is currently sanctioned by the UK the EU Canada Australia and Switzerlands
interestingly the US is missing from that list anyway that's the reason why we've tracked those
vessels and they are now in in Gojek with motor yacht Eclipse- all right so we'll move on to the
next story now and this is a yacht fire in Japan and it's in a place called Kanagawa on the Miura
peninsula of Kanagawa (that was translated from Japanese so) So, this was apparently an Azimut yacht
and the according to the fire department in that area at 15:40 hours on the 7th of august
there was a report of a vessel on fire off the coast of the Miura peninsula around 16 :30 hours
a TBS helicopter filmed footage of the fire as you can see here on the screen next to me here
so according to the regional coast guard headquarters they identified the vessel
as a pleasure vessel,- a yacht- and the ship of the coast guard arrived at the scene to extinguish
the blaze apparently they actually extinguished it and the vessel didn't sink in this instance
but i have a feeling as you can see from the photograph so it looks like it's drifted onto
the rocks and that might be the reason why it didn't sink so there were 8 souls on board
in total including the captain and they all had to don life jackets and actually jump
overboard to escape the blaze -now later on they were rescued by another passing vessel
and they were all rescue pulled out of the water - so like i said at the beginning the vessel was
believed to be an Azimuth 70 yacht (like the one pictured here )and the Azimut 70 has a fiberglass
hull and super structure so once they start to burn they give off a lot of toxic smoke and they
and they obviously go up very fast the remains of that yacht were later recovered as you can
see here now one of the questions that always comes up when i talk about these shop fires is
is why don't yachts have proper fire suppression systems on board like bigger ships well if you
if you'll notice that most of the fires we've talked about here are on yachts that are 30 meters
and below and unfortunately on those sides of vessels the rules of what kind of fire suppression
and fire fighting equipment they need is very limited it's very small on the bigger yachts
on the what we generally class of super yachts 60 meters and above or whatever -they are very well
equipped with suppression systems high fog systems and all kinds of systems that are automated and
and very have a lot of redundancy- unfortunately the smaller boats don't have those systems and
sometimes they're limited to a few handhelds fire extinguishers and buckets and blankets
and things like that so that's why more of them tend to catch fire and burn than the bigger ones-
all right so we'll move on to the next story and this is about an aircraft but it is related
to superyachts as you'll find out shortly so a federal judge in New York has signed a warrant
to seize an aircraft owned by sanctioned Russian Andre Scotch- this is after a federal
agent submitted an affidavit explaining that Scotch is the owner of an airbus A319 -100
through a series of shell companies and trusts tied to his romantic partner that the authorities
said the jet is worth around 90 million dollars so the aircraft is believed to be in Kazakhstan
right now and i would imagine that Mr Scotch believes the aircraft to be safe in that country
and there's no word if the Kazakhstan is going to hand over the vessel to the US. now the reason
why i brought this up is because Andre Scotch is also a superyacht owner a lot like a lot of these
Russian billionaires- he owns a 99 meter Feadship called Madame Go i've done a few videos on Madame Go
in the past in the good days i've got a video of it docking in Monaco which has been very well
received -so it's like i said it's a 99 meter or 324 foot Feadship and it is also on the seizure
to-do list of the US government and that vessel is valued at around 155 million dollars
the yacht has been laid up in Dubai since the beginning since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine
sources tell me it has a minimum crew on board because
all of these Russian yachts or most of the Russian yachts are struggling
to pay the crew and to also they will add a lot of assets seized so they're unable to move money
around very easily so that a lot of them have just laid up these boats until they can get
their money back so interestingly when i made that video about Madame Go which was about
i think it was 2019 i posted the video on youtube and then a few days later i got an email from one
of the officers on board Madame Go and he said that he they all enjoyed watching the video
but the name of the owner that i've given Andre Scotch was not the real owner and that i needed
to take down or remove the name from that video like he had some sort of authority to do so
he said he was happy for for the video to stay up but i needed to take down the name
but clearly i didn't do that because i knew who the owner was and in actual fact
in a another visit to Monaco i was walking past the boat i actually made a video about
about Madame Go and as i was walking past the boat Andrew Scotch came down the came down
the passarel with 2 close security officers and stepped off the boat right in front of me
and he gave me a bit of a funny look and i didn't film or didn't do anything and i just walked by
and didn't say anything he had 2 giant close protection guys with him as well
so yeah so i know for certain that he's the owner well he's he's definitely been on board let's say
okay one thing that came up that's come up quite a lot recently because i've been
talking about this a lot is flag states and the flag on the stern of the ship -so i use the phrase
flag it is known in the industry as an ensign but i call it flag because you know a lot of people
who watch this channel are not in the industry and i very often when i talk about a subject i will
use layman terms ; so i don't confuse people who are not in that industry or who are not
privy to the the terminology that we use- it's come up a few times recently that people
are saying that it's not a flag it's an ensign but like i said i don't want to confuse people and if
i talk about the ensign a lot of people will not know what that is okay so just before i go i just
wanted to recommend a video it's not something i do very often but this is a video that is about
super yachts it was sent to me recently and it's by a channel called Ukraine Pravda which means
Ukrainian True i believe and the video is about people from the channel up or some people who go
to Turkey Ukrainians go to Turkey and they visit all the places that we've been talking about but
even in this video Gojek and Fatah and Marmarus and they go to all these places and they show
the superyacht in those locations now it's in Ukrainian but it has English subtitles
built into it so you don't have to turn on the subtitles or anything it comes up on the screen
they've got some great footage of Eclipse and Titan and Solaris and Flying Fox a lot of a lot
of the boats that we talk about on this channel- it's about 30 minutes long but it's really worth
watching i'll post a link up here and i'll post one in the description so yeah definitely check
that video out so we even come up in the in this video as a cameo and you can hear my voice at one
point in it but it is really good definitely worth a watch all right i'm going to leave
