this is superyacht news with eSysman
hi welcome back to the channel so today we're going to talk about
quite a few subjects actually some updates and some new stories
the first one is i mentioned in a previous video about imperial yachts moving away from Monaco
and moving to Turkey it appears that that move is complete and they're already up and running
somebody made a comment in the at the end of the last video that there was they already actually
had a website and the new website it's a this is a strange one for me the new website is imperial
yachts antalya.com italia is a place in Turkey now why would they why would they change their
website i mean they their old website is still there but they've built a new website completely
independent of the old one that's a strange one if you've got any ideas why they would do that
please put them in the comments i've also got a new Instagram page as well so the reason why i
like i said in the previous video that they hadn't posted anything since the 29th of of june well
they've got a new Instagram page they've already got many many posts on that on that Instagram page
One of the things i wanted to say about the website is the website looks quite amateurish
compared to the old website so it's a bit baffling really you've got a good product there already
why not just continue with it and change the address of the office to Turkey but yeah complete
a complete restart in Turkey for some reason never received any replies for any of the people are
trying to contact in the company include the lawyer the PR team all of the different email
addresses and stuff like that but yeah that's a bit of a strange one for me i understand they
had to move they were asked to leave the principality of Monaco by the authorities,
went to Turkey which is makes sense because that's where all the Russian yachts are now
but they've started up completely separately. Anyway we'll move on to the next story
a little bit of an update on Dilbar i mentioned that Dilbar was starting to be uncovered i
was wondering why that was the case and it looked like they were getting ready to move the vessel
i had a statement back from Lürssen who owned owned Bloom and Boss now and they just said that
they told the authorities that they were doing what they were doing and that they were making the
vessel safe -some sources have told me that what actually happened is when the vessel was when the
owner was sanctioned the vessel shafts have been removed and obviously the shafts are where the
propellers connected to the shaft the shaft goes through the hull of the vessel and is connected to
the engines and that's what drives the vessel right and if the shafts are removed that means
if you put it in the water it will take on water and what i'm told is that they're going to
they're going to plug those holes they're not putting the shafts back in but they're going to
plug the holes so the vessel can be refloated and they're going to be it's going to be moved
out of the dry dock and put somewhere else so it definitely won't be going anywhere other than
wherever they're gonna tow it okay so the next story is i'll lose sale update vessel was spotted
going through the English Channel not broadcasting AIS and and the vessel has been visited in various
places in Portugal now a source told me that the emir was looking for football players possibly
buying football players or perhaps a a complete team now i have no idea what that means exactly i
know he he owns Manchester city i believe so it's got some probably got something to do with that i
don't know anything about football whatsoever so but that's what a source told me whether or not i
have not been able to confirm that independently the vessel did arrive in Gibraltar at the weekend
and the source told me that they could hear over the vhf radio that the the
port authorities telling the boat you're not broadcasting ais and they replied that they
had an exemption due to security which obviously means that head of state is on board the yacht is
believed to be eventually heading to tarragon in Spain where it sits over the winter months -
okay so there's been another yacht fire and this one is a a larger one than some
of the previous ones that we've looked at this was a this was a Pershing 88 yacht
it was called Cinque which is Italian for 5 as a 26 meter that can hold eight guests and four
crew now the vessel is believed to have started because of electrical fault in the engine room
and um the this is according to Aqua Looks Yachts uh and that's they were quoted by super yacht
times on their website are saying that that was the cause of the fire and confirming that it was
a Pershing 88 because there was some question about which model of Pershing yacht it was the
vessel was was seen on fire a lot of people passed by i had some subscribers send me some
footage in here as well and also i had a MonteCarlo marine instagram page send me
some of this footage i'll label it on the screen so you can see who sent me what
so what happened is according to those the reports is that the a vessel caught fire the guests and
some of the crew were loaded into a tender and a couple of crew i think stayed on board to try and
put the fire out they were however unsuccessful in doing so and eventually they were also evacuated
to another boat and you can see that the coast guard were in attendance also and i think that
eventually they got to a point where they just let the thing burn itself out i never saw any
report of any firefighting getting to the vessel it's quite obvious it's quite possible
that it did happen but i don't have any video or any photos of any vessels fighting the fire
the vessel is a GRP hull and superstructure and you can do up to about 34 knots
and values of these vessels of vessels for sale on limes between like like 2 and 3 million dollars
no injuries in that fire which is the good news isn't it
okay so one more story before i go and that is we had a breaking news video on saturday about the
2 yachts that had been detained in Antigua these vessels have been detained there since march and
all of a sudden they just left and there's no reports of why that was the case that they were
allowed to leave some comments in the comments section is like well you know what's to stop
the vessels leaving there's no physical barrier but you know you have to follow laws and also
in very often cases if the vessel leaves they can be chased after by you know military or
coast guard understandably Antigua probably doesn't have a big navy but also the question
is where did they get their fuel from because they can't they weren't allowed to buy fuel
while they were there so all of a sudden they've been allowed to get fuel and leave so there must
there must have been some sort of agreement made for that allowed them to leave we're talking
about m/y Garçon and m/y Halo of course they are now heading across the Atlantic they have
Morocco as their destination which will be where they go for fuel after crossing the Atlantic
because you know it's for a vessel especially vessels that size then they would need to refuel
after doing a crossing like that it's about 3 400 nautical miles to make that trip i believe
in the previous video i quoted the ambassador Antigua ambassador to the us Sir Ronald Sanders
and he he made a quote that they didn't have any sanctions laws in Antigua what i didn't put in
that video is that despite Antigua having no sanctions laws they offered to assist the UK
should they wish to detain these vessels and so Ronald Sanders said that we would wish
to cooperate with the jurisdiction imposing the sanctions the British would have to make a mutual
legal assistance treaty request to Antigua for us to do anything now this was back in march when
they were first detained now whether that ever happened i don't know the government in Antigua
although not having sanctions laws they did give a list of everybody who was sanctioned all Russians
who had been sanctioned by the USA the UK and the eu they gave them to all the businesses in Antigua
and they said you know we don't think any any of us should be doing business with them
as a consequence of that all the banks decided to not do business with
any Russian or Belarusian regarding of whether they were included in the sanctions or not
now one one possible reason why these vessels might have been released now this is just
this is just a pin an opinion really because there's no evidence to back this up but recently
according to the associated french press roman Abramovich has been helping to broker peace
deals in turkey and also the recent grain deal that that was made between Ukraine and Russia
to allow the Ukrainians to export their grain out of Odessa that agreement apparently was partially
brokered by roman Abramovich apparently he was actually in the audience when they when that was
signed by the Ukrainians and Russians so maybe it's a reward for that i mean that is just a
guess i have no evidence to back that up but uh i think it's interesting that that just got signed
and then his vessels were released so maybe that was a a deal that he created for himself
