this is super yacht news with eSysman
hi welcome back to the channel all right so around the beginning of may i made a video in
Gibraltar and it was about a yacht called m/y Axioma and the vessel had been arrested when it
came into the port of Gibraltar sometime in march now the reason why i'm talking about
this is because the supreme court of Gibraltar has just ordered that this vessel actually be
sold the vessel is a 72 meter and it was a charter yacht very popular Chelsea Arts chartered for about
600, 000 dollars a week and it's owned by someone called Dimitri Pompyansky obviously
he's a Russian and the the actual vessel was owned by a company called Parene Investments which
is registered in the British Virgin Islands and then the shareholder of that was a Cypriot company
called Ferdberg Holding Limited which was owned by the Russian billionaire Diimitri Pompianski
so that's the ownership trail if you like so what happened is that
we actually reported about this yacht at the time in march we did a video where we said we found
it odd that this vessel was heading to Gibraltar even though the owner was on the sanctions list
and i also had it on good authority that the vessel was going straight to Turkey which is now
a safe haven which we know a lot of Russian owned yachts are in turkey now but at the time that
wasn't the case and i was told by a source that it was heading straight to Turkey so i found it
a bit odd that the vessel had was veering off that course it was heading across the Atlantic and all
of a sudden it was going into Gibraltar i don't know the details of that i don't know whether they
had a problem with the vessel or something but anyway they went into Gibraltar and and of course
it was immediately bordered by officials so in the court documents it says that the bank
jpMorgan bank had provided a loan a 20.5 million euro loan in december 2021 to Purine Investments
and the lawyers for the bank told the supreme court that Mr Pompeonski's inclusion
on the sanctions list amounted to a breach of that loan agreement
so uh he got put on the sanctions list and and effectively because he his assets were frozen and
he was unable even if he was able to pay the money to the bank the bank was not allowed to accept the
money because of the sanctions and as such it was classed as forfeiture of that loan the bank also
told the court that the shares of Ferdberg had been transferred to another person to Dimitri
Faber Salehev on march the 4th , 5 days before Mr. Pompianski was placed on the UK sanctions list
there's a patented all of this isn't there and this too constituted a breach of that loan
agreement so jp Morgan are seeking reimbursements up to 20.5 million euros plus interest and costs
on that loan it's sought through the court an order for the sale of the vessel pursuant to
that claim so the vessel will be sold to the highest bidder and after an appraisal by yachting
experts to come up with a with a value what i would say on that subject is
because of the nature of the sale it's unlikely the vessel was going to reach market value
because not i don't think there are that many people out there that want to buy a yacht that was
seized from a Russian owner and as such it's probably going to go for a lot less than its
market value now remember jpMorgan as long as they get their 20 and a half million back they're happy
but what i would watch out for is that the the owner tries to buy it back through a shell
company because i it would not be the first time i've heard of this i have heard of other people
who've had assets seized and then they've actually bought them back through shell companies
bought back their own seized items yeah so that the authorities will need to watch out of that
because i would say like i said because of the circumstances of that sale it's unlikely to reach
market value so it could actually end up being a a good way for the owners to claim that vessel back
so that because that vessel is approximately worth and i believe it was already up for sale
approximately worth 75 million dollars so jp morgan looking for and a half million
euros so yeah so it's going to fall somewhere between that i'll bring you more on that story
as and when it's uh i have it so we'll move on to the next story modi art a we talked about it in a
recent video and i said that we talked about a fox business news report that said
that it had been re-flagged with an Emirates flag now that i this video i put out was about the 12th
of of may uh sorry 12th of june and um and i got contacted by someone the next day and said i'm in
Ras Al-Khaimah i was in Ruslan camera last week i've got some photographs as of the 6th of june
the vessel was not flying in ensign and it still did not have a home port under the letter
so as of the 6th of june the vessel was not registered with an Emirates
flag if anybody's in Ras Al-Khaimah now please take a photo and send it through to me
the normal locations one one interesting thing about about "m/y A¨ now is that
it's been in razzle camera for so long if you go on google maps you'll see it it's actually the
lightest day in in Ras Al-Khaimah on google maps has been there so long
all right we'll move on to the next story this is a strange one so in the last news video i did
i talked about a yacht a very strange looking yacht called "Galaxy of Happiness" and i said it
i think it looks like a klingon bird of prey and i said that it had been someone reported to
me that the vessel looked like it had been got into trouble in the med and it had been collect or
on the way to Greece and it had been collected by a tug and was being towed to the island of Crete
he then proceeded to take a very strange path back and forth back and forth as you can see here uh
after i put that video out i got contacted almost immediately by somebody and says hey i'm
in Greece right now but 300 nautical miles north of where where you said
that vessel is and i'm looking right at "Galaxy of Happiness" right now and so he said it's not
increased it's right here it's in a place called Theologus i think that's how you pronounce it
and he sent me some photographs and he sent me the GPS location and he said the vessel the
vessel's here it's been here for a while now so i don't know what's happening there so somebody
would appear assuming that information is correct that something's going on with the aAIS
for that vessel the vessel according to AIS now the vessel is being towed by the same tug
towards over towards Turkey but according to this person the vessel is still in Theologos in
in Greece now interestingly i went on to apple maps and i went to the location that the that
the person sent me and there was so that vessel also been in that location for a very long time
as you can see on the image now the vessel is showing up on apple maps it's been there that long
and apple maps don't update their maps as often as google it would seem because i went to the
Ras Al-Khaimah location for moto a on apple maps and it doesn't show a there but on google it
shows it as being there so the vessel's been there a long time it would seem so i don't know what's
going on there's something very strange going on there was also a chap increase who said hey i'm in
Crete right now on land i'll go to the location if you give me it and i'll have a look and he he said
he went and he could not find he couldn't see any sight of Galaxies of Happiness or any yacht being
towed by a tug so there's a very bit of a strange story there so if you know more about that please
get in touch that is that is a weird one so yeah one other thing is in the location that the ais
shows the tug towing Galaxy of Happiness there is an oil tanker a Russian flagged oil tanker
sitting there and it's saying waiting for orders so there's something something's weird going on
here right right here i i suspect that Galaxy of Happiness is not in the location that AIS
is showing it's impossible to get from that place to the from the place in the north down to crete
in such a short space of time all right we'll move on i've got one more story before we go
and this one is m/Y Nord is on the move so we talked in the last video i
when i talked about Nord i i broke the news that the vessel had actually been re-flagged
is now flying the Russian flag and also talked about the fact that the vessel had seemingly been
doing some sea trials out of Vladivostok you know obviously Nord was fled to Vladivostok from
the Seychelles when the sanctions all took off so the the chap who owns m/y Nord Alexei Modichov
he owns another boat called Lady M which you can see over my left shoulder here this is his
other vessel and it was arrested here in Imperia in march i think it was the first of march one of
the first vessels to be arrested i've actually got a video coming soon about this vessel so
be sure to stay tuned for that Nord it has it is on the move now and it it has gone to a place
called korsakov in russia and in the Russian Riviera as i call it now but i'll show
you some photographs of the location that they've gone to is not Monaco let's let's say so yeah so
that would signify it would seem the first voyage of that vessel under a Russian flag all
right i'm gonna leave it there and if you've got any information like any of the stories
