this is super yacht news with eSysman
hi welcome back to the channel um i've got quite a few stories tonight because it feels like i've
been gone for a month but it's only actually been like maybe six days since i've done a
news video but anyway let's get right into it so i've got um i've got a few stories i've got
uh the one i've been following the most is that Amadea arriving in Hawaii i've got uh sailing
y'all to a is on the move very interestingly arrested sailing you'll say in Trieste in Italy
i've got some more details about the accident in Tarragona uh the the the support vessel the
section rescue or the the coast guard vessel crashing into the yacht and the yacht sinking
first story is sailing y'all to a is back in the water if you remember that sailing yaltay is this
massive 142 meters or 465 feet uh assisted sailing yacht um and it is it was built in 2017 and um the
vessel was arrested on the 9th of april in Trieste in Italy so it was in the dry dock facility when
he was arrested been there ever since however in the last 24 hours the vessel is being re floated
and it's back in the water now there's no word on um why the vessel's back in the water
i don't think it's been released from the rest i think what's happening is they've simply the
shipyard has simply had it removed from the dry dock facility so they can actually use it
for other vessels the the sailing they'll say is at anchor now just off the coast of Trieste and
it doesn't seem to have any plans to go anywhere and i think that's the the key is that i think the
vessel is still arrested it's just been moved out to make way for that shipyard to be able
to use that obviously the vessel is owned by Andre Melnerchenko who also owns motion a he has the the
both striking looking vessels they're both named after him and his wife they both
names begin with a the first names so that's why the vessels are called a there's no official
reason for why it's back in the water but like i said i think that's the reason Mr Melnchenko
has described the sanctions as nonsensical and he says he will challenge them in court
but we're going to come back to that in another video so the next story which is one that i
have wanted to make for a few days now and and the mainstream media beat me to this one i'm afraid
is motivated Amadea arrived in Hawaii in Honolulu in Hawaii and the footage you see on the screen
right now the video footage in the photos was one of my subscribers and his name is Omar
Tawari i hope i pronounced that correctly and he provided this so thanks very much for that
so the vessel had an ETA of about 1600 UTC on the 16th of June and the vessel arrived a little bit
late of that ETA which was on the AIS system but those are put in manually so i wouldn't carry too
much weight on those whenever you see them on on Marine traffic or anything but what's interesting
is the vessel was actually escorted into Hawaii by a u.s coast guard ship and the
coast guard ship was called the CG Joseph Gaza Gazak i think that's how you pronounce it
um it is obviously there's no requirement for any military or coast guard vessel to broadcast AIS
and they only do it to help with you know with their identification when they want to so they
they can switch that off so it is quite possible that the coast guard vessel was was escorting that
yacht motor yacht a lot longer than what we saw on marine traffic or on AIS Amadea was scheduled
there's a there's a website called portcall.com Hawaii website you can see what's coming and going
it was scheduled to leave on the 18th at 700 UTC time but the vessel just moved from one berth to
another and is still there as i make this video so there's no word on on the vessel leaving yet i'm
not sure why that is maybe they would always plan to do that or maybe there's some issue or they've
got to wait for some clearance or something i don't know but they've moved to another bath
but they're still there in Honolulu so if you're interested if you live in that area go and check
it out i believe it's in a a military area or a restricted area but i'm sure there's
there's some location that you can get to see as the as um Omar did for these videos
and photographs here okay so that i have an update on the accident in Tarragona if you remember
a support vessel a coast guard i think it's a coast guard support vessel
was reversing in the marina and it crashed right into the side of this schooner the sailing
beautiful sailing yacht i've got some footage here of what it looked like before the accident as well
and the vessel reversed into it put a big hole in the side and then they moved away
now in the mainstream media they were saying that the vessel uh had dropped both anchors
to try to prevent obviously there was a problem that the vessel was stuck in reverse gears
it was moving your stone quite fast and they the story in the mainstream media is that they dropped
both their anchors to try to prevent the accident however i i there are there were many eyewitnesses
to this accident and and the eyewitnesses just happened to be a lot many marine professionals
because obviously the the place is full of yachts and i was contacted by quite a few people
and um what they told me is that the the after the accident a lot of the crew from other vessels ran
to assist the crew that were on board that yacht there were actually six crew members on board that
yield and they were trying they went on board they tried to help them put like a top over the side
of the vessel to try to prevent water ingress until they realised how massive the hole was
and realised that was there was no point in doing that what they told me is that the crew the 6 crew
lost all of their belongings that the only things they managed to retrieve were their passports
and they lost everything else on the bottom of the marina there but what's interesting is about
is about the response of the crew of that red vessel and the considering that they are part
of the coast guard and the search and rescue for Tarragona this is what an eyewitness told
me and i'm going to read out his statement and he says despite what some news outlets broadcast
the rescue ship didn't drop either anchor and it seemed like the vessel was still going to stain
even after the collision most of the crew of the sailboat were on deck and no one was reporting any
injuries at the time we had guys helping within minutes attempting to cover the hole with a tarp
and taking over a pump and air hoses but the hole was obviously too big the rescue boat
move moored at the other end of the marina and didn't show up until almost half an hour later
so this is the boat that caused the accident just went and docked itself over in the corner there
and nobody showed up from that vessel for half an hour um he said by which point the stern was
already underwater and by the time they got there with pump with a pump uh running water
was already going down the aft companion way my captain was watching from the dock and at
that point called us off there were a crew from most boats in the marina assisting to some degree
he said local emergency services were pretty shocking and didn't turn up until everyone had
abandoned ship he said the big rescue boats just returned to the dock that's the one that caused
the accident the one that came over is a smaller like 30 to 40 foot one from the other side of the
marina it was pretty shocking really so that's an eyewitness report of that accident and you can see
some uh there's a there's a very short video here of the actual impact and some photographs from
that incident so that's quite shocking um that if that is the case i mean these were eyewitnesses
and like i said they're not just people who were standing by the marina they're actually
seafarers themselves so people you know it's a more qualified view of the of the situation if
you like okay so we'll move on to the next story so this is about a yacht that i mentioned in the
last superyacht news it's a yacht called galaxy of happiness which is a very strange name for a boat
and this boat is apparently being towed uh and so what's happened is the the owner of the vessel
was placed on the sanctions list on the sixth of june i think it was uh the second of june sorry
and and he has this vessel it's a 53 meter or 174 foot yacht it's a very strange looking thing i've
actually referred to it as a Klingon bird of prey in the past in past videos and what is interesting
about this is it it would appear that this yacht was heading obviously he's under sanctions now
the vessel is very often seen in the south of france near Cap Ferrat where the owner has a villa
and um so the vessel was heading east towards turkey and it looks like the vessel got into some
sort of trouble either they ran out of fuel or they had some sort of engine trouble and they were
actually it would appear that they were actually adrift uh for at least 24 hours judging by this
trip passed path from marine traffic the uh the vessel looks to show zero knots and and it's its
position is moving sideways and that looks like a vessel that is a drift so that vessel appeared to
be adrift from around 1600 utc on the 15th of june and was collected by an ocean-going tug on the
16th of june around 1800 hours so proximately a full day at sea so the tug was called a christy 14
and it looks like it was dispatched from Greece as you can see from the track
and they headed to the scene and collected the vessel and now it looks like that that tug is
towing it to the island of Crete so that's quite interesting isn't it and they it very very slow
going for that tug it's doing about four knots and the vessel the galaxy of happiness has got
on its AIS it says restricted manoeuvrability which suggests that it is you know it's not
under its own power so that's quite interesting if i get any updates on that if you're in Crete
and you see these vessels arrive please be sure to get a photo or some video or something and
let me know at least at very least let me know if you if you saw it coming being towed
okay so finally i just want to say as always thanks very much to everybody who's contributed
