this is super yacht news with eSysman- hi welcome back to the channel it seems like ages since I did
one of these videos it was only Thursday but it seems like a lifetime away but anyway we've got
a few stories to get on with tonight so let's get right into it now the first one is motor
Titan this is a an 80 meter or 262 foot yacht owned by Alexander Abramov -now this vessel was
in the Maldives at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, stayed out of there stayed down there
for a while and then it headed through Suez Canal and it went up to Turkey once they realised that
Turkey was a safe haven for these Yachts they went up there and they've been there ever since but
recently they left and they've headed to Dubai so they transited through the Suez Canal and headed
over there now during the Suez Canal phase they had armed guards on boards which they broadcast
on the AIS system to let everybody know and the vessel arrived in Dubai today so left the 28th of
September it left Fetei in Turkey and it arrived on the 10th of October in in Dubai Alexander
Abramov recently he's been sanctioned by Australia and he actually sued the foreign minister the
Foreign Affairs ministers in Australia over the sanctions recently so he's got an ongoing court
case in Australia over those sanctions anyway we'll let you know that vessel moves anymore
on to the next story- now this one is about the yacht formerly known as "Graceful" -now as we
mentioned in the previous video "m/y Graceful" has renamed to a a Russian name which translated
into English means "killer whal"e which is a lovely name for a pleasure yacht right.
one of the subscribers pointed out also that there was a submarine in the Russian Navy with
the same name "killer whale" - it's quite an interesting name to give your pleasure vessel
isn't it ? -it gives the right vibe when your guests come on board .anyway "Graceful" has moved to a new
location so in in the previous video we mentioned that he'd been seen off the coast of Estonia
sporting this new name no AIS of course AIS was turned off for the whole trip but the vessel was
in Kaliningrad and is now being confirmed by H I sutton.com he gave me the information that
there it has been confirmed as being in Lomonosov which is a district of Saint Petersburg in Russia
and going by the satellite images that he supplied it looks like the vessel has gone to a location
that has been looks like it's been developed specifically for the yacht or for yachts to
go to -most likely specifically for this yacht you can see the images here 1, 2 years ago and one
now and you can see that land there has been developed also notice that there
are shipping containers put in a certain way to act as their privacy screens possibly for defense
and there's also a large tent next to the yacht and there's a lot of cars lined up there as well
if you want to see more on this story head over to H I sutton.com I'll put the link in the
description to the exact page on his page which goes into the details that we've talked about here .
all right on to our main story now and this is about "motor yacht Nord" now in the in a previous
video we broke the story that the vessel was headed to Hong Kong- the reason why I mentioned
the breaking story is because I've noticed that a lot of newspapers have taken credit for breaking
the story on the vessel heading there and being there but we were the first ones to announce it
on the channel as far as I I know you can always go by the date of the videos are posted but it's
a little bit annoying when they claim credit and they don't actually even mention us but anyway
the US is upset with Hong Kong authorities because they are seemingly allowing the vessel to stay
so "m/y Nord" has been anchored in the western quarantine and immigration Anchorage between
Stonecutter's Island and Singy since Wednesday - Another story that we broke was the re-flagging
of the vessel so on the 10th of June we broke the story that motor yacht Nord had
re-flagged from the Cayman Islands to Russia so that's a story that came from us originally
so the U.S state Department said that Hong Kong could damage its reputation as a financial center
if it gives haven to Russians dodging sanctions this came after the city said it would not act
against a superyacht belonging to an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin so the U.S state
Department spokesperson said the possible use of Hong Kong as a safe haven for individuals evading
sanctions from multiple jurisdictions further calls into question the transparency of the
business environment and Hong Kong's reputation as a financial center depends on adherence to
International laws and standards he said but the Hong Kong's Marine departments said last week that
it implements United Nations sanctions but it cannot enforce sanctions imposed unilaterally
by countries or blocks so the yacht is owned by Alexi Mordashow as we've mentioned numerous times
on the channel who owns motor yacht
Lady M which is in Imperia -we did a video about it recently about it being effectively a
ghost boat because it's been left there with 2 people on board looking after it
I'll put a link in the top corner here and in the description to that video if you're interested in
seeing it Mordashov also owns the most shares of the company TUI the holiday company TUI and
it in actual fact he saved that company from going under during covert because obviously
they weren't selling any holidays and he was pumping money into it to keep it afloat so so
the yacht headed to Vladivostok and we follow we tracked the vessel all the way to Vladivostok from
I think it was in the Maldives but it was in the Indian Ocean anyway and it headed over
to Vladivostok and we tracked it all away when past Hong Kong up there and it's been there ever
since this was in March and it did do a little bit of sailing around the islands there in in
Russia and this was the first trip outside of Russia it's made since it arrived in Vladivostok
now it will be interested I'd be interested to know if the Hong Kong officials have checked the
details of the captain and chief engineer on board because being Russian flagged the yacht
must have a Russian captain and a Russian chief engineer on board the vessel so be interested to
know if they did those checks and they those checks came up because in guarantee before
they reflect the Russian flag the captain and the chief engineer were not from Russia
all right so anyway one last thing and this is not a story but this is more to do with the channel
quite a few people contacted me recently there are people being contacted in the comments from
people purporting to be from our channel saying that you've won something and to get in touch
just so you know these comments are not from us we will never contact anyone in the in the
comments and say that they've won something or to get in touch for some offer or something like
that one of the subscribers did get in touch with the person just to see what they were trying what
the scam was and they were trying to say that he'd won a yacht and it all he had to do was
pay a 500 deposit to get this yacht so clearly it's a scam- as soon as we find out about them
we removed them and we report them to YouTube If you see one of those comments and and you know
that it's not from us and they're offering some sort of they put like a little celebration icon
in there and they say you've won something and to get in touch just report that to YouTube and
also let us know and we'll deal with it as fast as we can but just please don't don't respond to them
you know it's not us like I said we would never do that on the channel all right guys I'm going
to leave it there if you've got any information about any of these stories or any other stories
please get in touch to the normal fashion you can get us through the about page of YouTube you can
get us on Instagram on Facebook messenger and you can also get us on threema be sure to like
this video hit the Subscribe button and hit that Bell for future notifications also one last thing
actually - please watch the videos of the super yacht tours that we did at the Monaco yacht show
we put one out on Saturday night it's had very low numbers I noticed a lot of people are often
saying that they miss the fact they miss the fact that the channel is more about news now and it's
not so much about the the superior industry as a whole what we've posted two tour videos recently
and they have not done great numbers so I'm a bit confused there do you want those kinds of
videos or do you just want news because we put them out and the News videos always outperform
the other videos so if you're interested in that kind of stuff please check them out I'll
put links in all the normal places we also have a Technical Tour of "motor yacht Victorious" coming
in the next few days so stay tuned for that all right guys I'll leave it there thanks bye-bye
