this is superyacht news with eSysman
hi welcome back to the channel so we don't have any word yet as to who is the successful bidder
of motor yacht Axioma down there in Gibraltar and no word back from him either way, nothing- not
even to deny what we said in the previous video about the possibility that the buyer has already
been predetermined but by the information that's coming into us- it's looking more and more like
something's not quite right here - i mean there's some stuff going on that we we can't really go
into right now but what we can say is that it appears that arrangements for the movements of
the yacht have already been pre-planned before the yacht has even been officially announced
as to having a buyer- i mean the these plans are are already in place -now how can that be
if you're working on that boat you don't know who the new owner is going to be
you don't know if you're going to be turning right out of Gibraltar or left right
because it could be an American buyer theoretically and he wants the boat over in
the USA so you're doing the Transatlantic straight away and yet the boat has already got plans to go
somewhere else which which i can't really get into right now but i just don't understand how that can
be if the yacht has not been sold yet if they haven't made a decision and now these plans are
already in place- anyway that's for another video so other interesting information is that the
72 meter yacht Axioma has an in-build support vessel currently being constructed
and this was mentioned in superyacht times and it was mentioned last year at the Monaco yacht show
during the Monaco yacht show most likely there was a press release or it was a an event held
at the Monaco yacht show that they attended and we've got this information from there
and the images you can see on screen they're renditions of what the support vessel will look
like now you can see bears a striking resemblance to Axioma right the same whole colour and stuff
like that now this vessel's been in build since at least well it was in build before
the Monaco Yacht Show last year -normally takes about 3 years to build a yacht and they said that
the delivery date was due to be 2023 he didn't give a date didn't give a month but next year so
i would say probably 2020 it started being built and it was probably been designed before that
now can you guess which shipyard is building this support vessel Dunya Yachts in Turkey
you can see that the connections here the yacht that they're building is going to be called BRO
b-r-o so it's going to be called m/y Bro so yeah so and this is because because Axioma is
a very successful charter yacht and the support vessel will carry as you can see
a lot of toys helicopters jet skis boats you name it they'll carry it they can all it will also be
fitted out like a super yacht so if there's a big charter party and they can't and they need
more space then some of the people can stay on that yacht there's an awful lot of money invested
in that support vessel right and this is all looking a bit predetermined right
now so anyway time will tell right so anyway we'll bring you updates as soon as we have it
we'll move on to the next story now so motor yacht Tango has been in Palma at a shipyard in Palma
since january since the 26th of january she was in the refit there when the
owner was put on the sanctions and the vessel was arrested by a an international team
spanish authorities including FBI and Ice and they what happened is the vessel was the owner
was placed on the sanctions Victor Vexelberg and the yacht had been paying for services
using the USA financial system which was under the sanctions was illegal and they were
using -allegedly using different names to hide the fact that the money was being transmitted and this
meant that the USA could go after that yacht and try to seize that yacht under the money laundering
laws in the USA- when the owner was sanctioned all work stopped on the boat the yards can't
touch- they can't take any money they can't do any work so all the work stopped
all of the crew were let go- then this video you see here with all the authorities boarding
the yacht and the yacht's been there ever since so it was interesting that in the last
few days there was some noises about the vessel moving and then this morning a message off from
AIS popped up saying that Tango was- a change its status from moored to using engines- and as
you can see here the vessel left its berth in the shipyard there and the vessel slowly pulled away
and you can see like 5 or 6 crew there on the deck they're probably all deckhands maybe a
couple of people helping from other departments so they seem to certainly have enough crew on board
obviously they have to have minimum minimum manning to be able to move the vessel
i was very interested to see where it was going- it hadn't updated its destination
in AIS to anywhere but Palma de Mallorca and then it moved about one nautical mile and it docked
in Club de Mar- the boat didn't even leave that area it just moved out of the way i think
so i think the reason why the boat was moved is because the shipyard needs the berth
to for so they can operate you know because that boat's been stuck there for months so
but yeah so that that's as far as it got as you can see from this footage here- now i was able to
fly my drone all the way from Genoa and( i'm just kidding) so that this was sent in by an anonymous
subscriber and yeah so you can see the boat is it is a great looking boat so yeah so it just moved
a mile or so and that was it so we don't have any more information as to whether the vessel
will move on from there but as if there is any update obviously we will bring it to you
i just want to say one more thing is be sure to watch this video i did a video
called millions staggering monthly costs of seized super yachts- it's like a mini documentary-
we spent an awful lot of time in that video and if you want to check it out i mean it's got
great reviews in the comments a lot of people very positive about the video so i'll put a link
up here and i'll put a link at the end of this video so if you just wait till the end
you'll see a link for it you can click on it i'll also put one in the description below so i'm going
to leave it there if you want to get in touch with us about any of the stories we've mentioned or any

(After the vessel was arrested by the Italian authorities both Melnichenko yachts lost their
flag state as they were deregistered by the Isle of Man shipping registry they also had
their Lloyd's classification withdrawn all as a result of the sanctions this meant
both vessels would also lose their insurance as to be insured you must have a flag state and...)
