this is super yacht news with eSysman
so we're tracking breaking news right -now motor yacht name that goes by the name of m/y 0007
believe it or not has capsized and partially sunk in Greece -now this came in early this
morning- it's in a place called Kelowna Keithnoss and it happened yesterday evening i believe
so we've had we have an unconfirmed report that the vessel actually ran aground, hit some rocks
and started to take on water and the Captain made the decision to try to deliberately ground the
vessel to prevent it from completely sinking- Unfortunately it didn't turn out too well
if this is what indeed happened by the looks of this video footage as the vessel can be seen in
the first image, listing over to port and then eventually, it's almost completely submerged
there so the search and rescue teams looks like they've put a boom around that yacht to stop
any pollution -obviously there'll be some sort of recovery attempt made on that yacht but as we've
seen by the yacht in in Tarragona the one that got hit by the search and rescue vessel that still
hasn't been raised so and that's that completely sank but that's still there to this day .
So the yacht has an interesting backstory actually - this vessel was delivered in 2007
and it's it's had it's had a few names the first name i believe was "Royal Enterprise" and then
later on it was renamed to "Amazon A" - got nothing to do with Jeff Bezos and and now it's called 007.
the vessel when it first launched was 32 meters long (and as you see in these photographs
here and i think there's a video a short video from Superyacht Times also on their instagram page) .
The vessel as it is in these photos and videos is 49 meters long so the vessel was
actually it's been extensively modified an extra deck was added at some point and it looks like
it's got a touch and go helicopter landing pad on the top deck there and also the vessel was
lengthened it was originally 32 meters or 105 feet and at some point in time- i'm not quite sure when
the vessel was lengthened from 32 meters to 49 meters or 160 feet
the yacht was built in Turkey by "Aegean Yachts" it was built in Bodrum -so that's that's in fact
that's all the information we have on this yacht . we've got some photographs here from Raphael Belly
also from before obviously and you can see in the original photos from when it was "Amazon A"
compared to now how different it looks with that extra deck and that big long stern extension
because when you add an extra deck, you can get stability problems as they found out with
"motor yacht Yogi" right but apparently the vessel it's not because of any sort of fault with the
with the vessel the vessel just hit hit rocks and that captain made that decision, you know,
he would have had very little time to make the decision once he realised he was taking on water
so anyway we'll bring you more as soon as we have it if you've got any information about this that
we haven't covered in this video please get in touch- you know how to get in touch with us youtube
Instagram Facebook messenger and Threema- i've got a couple of other stories while i'm while i'm here
Victor Vexelberg, the owner of motor yacht Tango his vessel was arrested in Palma in a few months
ago- it's been there ever since bordered by US government official as you'll remember.
his apartment in New York city was raided a couple of days ago i think it was thursday,
thursday evening and according to the "New York Post" they have sources that says that
Vexelberg was the target of those searches and you can see the footage here of the agents
bringing out a safe which it looks like they tried to open and possibly maybe they did they weren't
able to open it but they've taken the whole safe away in in the back of a car there -He also had
similar searches occur in Fisher Island which is very close to Miami Beach where apparently dozens
of agents from the FBI and other federal agencies could be seen at properties linked to Vekselberg
and associates- Vexelberg is alleged to own 4 properties in that location so yeah- it's
going from bad to worse for Mr. Vexelberg isn't it so yeah that we'll keep you updated on that
story also got one last thing we mentioned in recent videos about "motor yacht Pacific" this vessel
is in Marmaris right now and we mentioned that- in one video we mentioned that they changed their
name from the MMSI number to Pacific X and then in the next video i talked about the fact that
they've actually changed their flag state over to Malaysia from i think the Cayman Islands.
And this picture here was taken yesterday and you can see that they're still flying their old flag
and it still says Georgetown on the stern so i'm not quite sure what's going on there -either the
crew are unaware that there's been a flag change which is very unlikely but it's also possible that
the vessel has no crew on board effectively and it's because it's been sat in that location for
a long time and yeah i'm not quite sure why they would still have the old flag unless it's been
left there by the crew who left -it's unlikely most likely the crew would take that flag down
before they left but yeah bit bit puzzled about that one why they're still flying that old flag.
anyway i'm going to leave it there this was a breaking news story obviously about the the
sinking of the Yacht 007. like i said if you've got any information about that story please get
in touch in the normal methods -okay thanks very much for watching and i'll see you soon, bye
