this is super yacht news with eSysman hi welcome back to the channel okay on my left hand
side here you'll see a picture of motor yacht Al Lusail this yacht is owned by the Emir of Qatar
he has quite the car collection that turns out as well as you can see in this video that was posted
by Monte Carlo Marine I think it may have been for New Year's Eve celebrations but I'm not sure
can't confirm that I just wanted to show you this because I just thought it was so cool all those
supercars there including a 918 Spyder which is a Porsche by the way if you don't know but
my favorite car of all time I think anyway we'll move on just I just wanted to show you just any
excuse to show you a load of supercars all right so we'll move on to the motor you have to octopus
we mentioned in the last video that octopus had spent New Year's Eve down in the Antarctic well
she's still down there right now and she is the world's largest charter and she's on Charter
right now down there and um she is continuing that tour and she's currently sailing Us in on
the southern coast of Prabanta Island which is the part of the British Antarctic territory and
it's 50 59 kilometers along the island and it rises up to 2 and a half thousand meters
I've actually photographed from when I sail the same area on a cruise ship in 2008 and it
was quite a it's quite the trip it was one of those places that I always wanted to go
but now that I've been not really any interest in going back it's not one of those places that I've
really really want to revisit I mean it's great when you're there but getting there and getting
back is the the rough path as I mentioned in other videos I'll show you some of the
photographs here that that I took when I was in that area and you can see where we were going
through areas where there was a lot of ice in the water and there's nothing quite like hearing the
sound of ice banging off the whole of your of Your Vessel it's quite an unnatural sound quite scary
anyway we'll move on in a previous video I showed you some photographs of m/y Vixit which had run
aground and it damaged the underneath of the vessel and it ripped off the stabilizers and
and caused all kinds of damage to the hull of the yacht now we we have actually have
the story and it happened in March 2022 it actually happened in Loreto Bay National
Park in Mexico the area is protected by the national Commission of protected natural areas
and when the vessel run aground actually hit a coral reef and they said that it actually
damaged Coral heads in the area after the yacht ran aground it was actually stuck there for almost
10 days it actually happened on the 7th of March 2022 and the vessel wasn't actually moved until
the 16th of March so one of the things that they did was they offloaded 60 000 liters of fuel from
the boat they were worried about the potential League leak hazards that you know the fact that
if there was any leaks caused by the grounding that the fuel could leak out into that area
but also another reason why they would have done that is to try to refloat this boat because
obviously it was stuck on on this Coral so 15 guests were on board at the time of the accident
they were all removed from the vessel and put into hotels locally as were some of the crow however
a few crew remained on board to try and deal with the issues the yacht was eventually refloated and
towed to Puerto Escondido which is not far away in Mexico they checked the hall to make sure there
was no damage or no further damage or no Hull any leaks or anything like that and that was the last
known AIS broadcast from that location which was about seven months ago and the vessel has since
been transported to the shipyard and is on undergo on repairs which is what we we saw in those
photographs now one of the things we were unable to do also is identify the owner we we did a broad
search as we always do and we couldn't find any information that directed us to the owner we just
found a registered company which is in Miami in Florida so we're not sure who the owner is if
you have any idea please get in touch and let us know okay so we'll move on to the main story now
at this story piqued our interests because of some of the details in the story now this was
about a yacht fire on a 20 meter yacht and now the brand we believe is called a Sega 57 and the
yacht's name was Azimuth 3. now that's the name it's not an Azimuth yacht as far as we can tell
now the vessel was heading on the 27th of December the vessel was heading from San Fernando in Buena
or near Buenos Aires in Argentina and it was heading to Punta Del Este in Uruguay
and the vessel left at zero five thirty hours now the captain of the Bose was his name was Victor
Silvera and he was a yacht skipper for 40 years he had 40 years experience at C he was 65 years old
and he was at the helm when the fire broke out one of the things that we do in in when we
work on yachters we we do a lot of training for yuck fires and this is the reason why we do so
much training and he said he said that everything happened in three minutes so from from everything
being normal to a blazing got fire as you can see in the videos here he said it happened in
three minutes which is quite incredible so you know that's why we do so much training
obviously this is a very small yacht it won't have that many things on board in terms of firefighting
not like the larger yachts but anyway he says that he left he left San Fernando at 05 30 hours and
they they were on board there was two crew and one one passenger on board at zero seven thirty hours
he realized there was black smoke coming from the engine room and shortly after that he called the
MayDay and said that the engines had caught fire he stopped the engines and offloaded one passenger
now the the passenger was offloaded into another boat that was in the area whether they visibly
saw the fire or they could they responded to the MayDay call but there were two boats in the area
they came to the rescue and he offloaded the passenger into one boat he stayed on board to
fight that fire try and see what he could do with the other crew member he was on board for
10 to 15 minutes then he said that he realized that it was not there was nothing he was going
to be able to do and you can see in the video here you can see him on the fly bridge there
and he eventually evacuated into the rescue boat and then he was rescued by another boat they took
him onto on board his boat now the two boats that were in the area one of them was called Gracia
and the other one was called we're not sure it was called Le blue or possibly Le plus but the one of
them we think was a sailing boat as you can see from the photos and one of them was a motorboat
now the search and rescue arrived and they started to fight that fire but
unfortunately they weren't able to put it out and the vessel eventually sank
now this happened in the in the Rio de La Plata in Argentina which is it which is near
Buenos Aires now the captain said that this was going to be his last trip so he'd been at Sea
since he was 17 years old 65 years old he was on his last trip and he and it ended with a big
fire so that is not a good way to go is it but the good if you want to look for the positives in that
story he survived with his life and there were no injuries he sounds like he did everything right
and got his passenger off and got his crew off so that's because the good ending to that story
but that is quite a story the fact that he said it all it all started in in 3 minutes that shows
