this is superyacht news with esSysman
hi guys welcome back to the channel welcome back to another breaking news video so we've got some
information about the the movements of some of the the russian-owned yachts that are either
have already been sanctioned or are likely to be sanctions in the in the near future under the eu
sanctions um some of the vessels seem to be trying to make a break for it trying to get you know
get ahead of those sanctions to prevent them from being locked in place and some of them are already
have already been uh arrested so let's go through the list so the first one there
was a story that came out yesterday about a vessel called quantum blue
and it was denied uh leaving from monaco the vessel was owned by uh sergey galitzki
and he had been preparing to have his vessel leave from portugal in monaco however the
the monacan authorities and the french customs officers boarded the boat on thursday morning
to prevent it leaving also a boom was placed across the entrance to the monaco harbour
to prevent any or to control vessels from entering and leaving controlled by the police
it's unclear why the vessel was prevented from leaving because golicky is not currently under
any eu sanctions so it may have been unrelated uh it was reported in some news organizations that it
had been because of the eu sanctions but there's no evidence to support this now since i've since
this has happened the vessel has now left monaco and and we are tracking it and it is heading south
it's currently sailing past corsica and it is looks to be going uh south i would suspect it's
possibly going uh to go to sue's canal and get out into the uh indian ocean maybe head into maldives
or it could be going to the black sea but i doubt that because it has to go through uh turkey
so the next vessel uh that will look that we're following is a is called galactica supernova
and this is owned by vajid alek perov and he's the president of russia based luke oil and his vessel
was seen entering montenegro and leaving shortly thereafter looks like they went into refuel
as i mentioned yesterday the montenegro is a popular place for fuel as it has good prices
and it's also outside of the eu and vessels that generally well vessels that have worked on inside
the eu once they're completed they have to leave within a certain amount of time so they often go
to montenegro and to refuel the vessel um and it's also generally a safe haven from the eu right but
earlier this week that montenegro actually joined with the eu sanctions against russia because of
actions in ukraine cutting off the safe haven uh go back to the vessel galactica supernova
um it was seen it was seen leaving uh montenegro it was still within uh coastal waters and then the
vessels ais was switched off apparently um the vessel we have satellite tracking i can track
any vessel um worldwide with satellite tracking and the vessel is is showing us out of range for
two days now so it left montenegro was heading south and the vessel disappeared basically from
trucking anyway so it should be noted that all passenger vessels regardless of size
must have a working ais when at sea it is actually an offence to uh to turn this off
you're not allowed to do that you must show it it can uh it could be a danger to navigation um i did
a video recently about a super yacht crashing into a tanker one of the things that the crew of the
superyacht said is that the ais was switched off and they didn't see it on radar anyway if you see
this vessel galactica supernova photo send it to me let's track its location let's see where
it's going i would say it's probably heading uh to sewers and then out towards the maldives that way
but uh if you if you do see it please let me know if you work on board please let me know and
by the way tell your captain to switch his ais back on okay the next vessel is motion eclipse so
uh roman abramovich's massive super yacht eclipse left saint martin uh last night i've i have word
that the vessel was denied fuel in saint martin and it left thereafter it is moving at quite a
pace last night i tracked it doing 20 knots it's now doing 17 knots uh and it's heading looks like
it's heading towards uh towards the mediterranean um now if they if they were denied fuel obviously
they're not full of fuel unless they managed to get it somewhere else but the the gps track seems
to show them leaving saint martin and then heading straight to uh across the atlantic uh obviously
i'll track that and let you know if there's any changes um they are traveling at 17 knots which is
very fast for a vessel to cross the atlantic obviously traveling at such a speed requires
a lot of fuel and generally when we cross the atlantic on a cpr we go slowly
13 knots 14 knots unless we are needed somewhere very quickly by the owner and then we
we you know we go much faster because the fuel becomes less important in the sense of we want
to save fuel unless the boss wants the boat there quickly so the vessel is moving quickly
uh abramovich's other massive yacht solaris is still in barcelona she is in the dry dock
but she's but the the dry dock is not the dry dock is flooded it's not uh the boat's
not out of the water as you can see here from this photograph taken by one of my subscribers
yesterday in barcelona a uh update on dilbar mott dilbar i made a video yesterday saying that moti
dilbar had been seized i i'm not a fan of using that word generally vessels are quite
often arrested if there is non-payment or if there are outstanding issues they're very often
uh class classes arrested i know it sounds unusual for for an inanimate object to be arrested you
would think that was only for people but it is it is often used in that way um there were obviously
many many reports that the vessel had been seized now according to um according to build dot d e
i'm not if i'm sure i've mispronounced that's a german newspaper uh the authorities have said
that dilbar has not been seized despite the the reporting that i just mentioned uh however
i am told from uh insiders that the all of the contractors all of the workers in the
shipyard have stopped working on the vessel so the vessel is out of the water the vessel is covered
it looks like it's getting might be getting paint by the way it's covered it's completely covered
um but all of the workers have stopped working on the vessel the crew are living ashore in
apartments most likely um this is what i've done this in the past and the and there is
a minimum crew there whilst the vessel is going through uh the the work that's being carried out
uh however the us has just placed sanctions on usmanov uh and uh and they've said that the
the vessel and his private plane was put his plane as one of the largest uh privately owned aircraft
they would they will both be blocked from entering the us or from u.s people from working on boards
although it's widely known that usmanov owns this vessel or it's his vessel it's very hard
very it's very often hard to track who owns which because because there are
so many layers of separation and um the dilbar is actually uh it's not even registered to him
and it's owned by a holding company based in malta so i don't know whether it would even be
considered as one of his assets and they'd have to be able to link that back to him to
be able to freeze it i would imagine so quite interesting to see if they find that i'm sure
once governments get involved they'll be able to trace it back to him uh but i'm gonna wrap it up
here um if you've got any information about any of the russian known yachts that are sanctioned and
and uh maybe they're fleeing maybe they're heading out out east please be sure to get in
