This is superyacht news with "eSysman"
hi guys welcome back to the channel - it's 9th of march
big news- big news day today so i'm just going to go straight into it - so
in the last video i was talking about super yacht disappearing that was the title of the video right
so well it turns out they can't disappear from this incredible community that we've
built here i have people from all over the place sending me photographs and details
about different superyachts where they are even though they've turned off the "AIS" to try and hide
i'm going to get into that in a minute i just want to say one thing about it first is if you are
somebody who's going to send me some details or a photograph or video or whatever that's great but
just make sure you don't get into any trouble to do it i don't want you to like do any trespassing
or anything like that only film will take a photo if you're allowed to i don't want anyone to get
into any trouble for that- right -one of the things i wanted to say something about as well is
i've seen quite a lot of comments where people keep saying to me to say to stop saying the word
arrest when i'm talking about a yacht because you can't arrest a thing you can only arrest people
well that's not true that's not actually true it is a maritime phrase you can arrest the vessel
what i have here is - i have a clip from the international maritime organisation and
it's actually a clip that talks about it- i'll put the whole thing on the screen but i'm just going
to read out the highlighted parts and it says what is ship arrest and it says marine admiralty
has the jurisdiction to prevent a ship legally from moving or trading as long as the resolution
of the concerned court action is pending so in other words you have a court action against the
vessel usually for if you owe money if the ship is paid like has bought a product like fuel and
they don't pay then they can be arrested for it and it says here the ship is detained by judicial
process in order to secure a maritime claim but the arrest warrant does not imply the seizure
of a ship in execution or gratification of a judgement now the the other stuff is not important
it's just the fact that the word arrest is used in there and a vessel can be arrested so i hope
that puts puts an end to that conversation all right guys let's get into the vessels themselves
so we've there's been a lot of movements we're kind of doing a yacht watch aren't we
tracking these vessels going around and so one of the vessels i talked about in the last video
was "m/y Amadea" turned off for "AIS" the day of the Ukraine and sorry of the Russia's invasion
of Ukraine well she's been found in Antigua in what is i think English Harbor and she's currently
doctor and i suspect she will move from there - so here's a great video actually from one of my
subscribers as it was entering "Antigua" and some photographs of it docked in the marine there so
thanks to everybody everybody asked to remain anonymous and that's great i'm happy to do that
the other thing -i forgot to mention earlier is if you do send anything and you want to remain
anonymous that is fine with me i will never tell anybody who sent the information
so the other thing about "Amadea" is reportedly owned by "Suleiman K"arimov who is on the sanctions
list which is what i said in the previous video however "Imperial yachts" who manages this vessel
said in a statement that he does not own the 106 meter yacht and i'm going to read out a statement
from them in a second -so the next vessel we looked at is a vessel called "Quantum Blue"
was temporarily detained in Monaco by Monaguesque and French authorities now i don't know
why it was detained but i know it was detained it was prevented from leaving they put a boom
across the entrance to the Marina i don't know whether that was in relation to the the fact that
they'd arrested or they detained "Quantum Blue" temporarily it was eventually allowed to leave
and i and i've been monitoring it's it's its movements ever since and it basically headed
south and and then southeast towards the Suez Canal and i suspected in the previous v-sat
i said it's probably going to Port Said- well it is in "Port Said" anchor and "Port Said"
is a staging area for transit when you're going through Suez Canal and you're going south
you arrive in "Port Said" and then you wait there at anchor to get your permission to go through the
canal it should be noted that we don't know why "Quantum Blue" was detained in Monaco and we don't
know if it was anything to do with sanctions or it could have been completely unrelated "m/y Solaris"
so we were looking at "Solaris" i was expecting that it would leave pretty soon it's been
alongside it was in there i think it was an MB92 in Barcelona that's a shipyard in Barcelona
and it was originally out of the water it was re-floated and then they went out on sea trials
came back in well they have now left and they are also heading southeast and it looks like they are
heading to Suez Canal as well it's a bit early to say but i think that's the direction they're going
in- i think what from what i know they were -they have been asking about transit
through "Suez Canal" but i can't confirm that as of yet okay staying with "Abramovich" is other
the giant 162 meter or 522 foot superyacht "m/y Eclipse" she's been cruising
across the atlantic i say cruising because on ais it just says cruising it doesn't actually
have a destination plotted into it and she's been cruising across the Atlantic at
quite a speed i mean she is a fast vessel but to do 17 not across the atlantic
is unusual unless your boss requires the boat in a hurry so at the moment the last time i
checked her course looked like she was going to Funchal which is an island of Portuguese island
in the Atlantic off the coast of north Africa -possibly maybe getting fuel
Abramovic i believe is a Portuguese citizen and I have to say that also please note that
he is not currently under any sanctions so as far as i can tell there's no reason for him to
to not go in there at the moment but it's changing all the time right so but the reason why i said
that about fuel is because a source told me that they were denied fuel in Saint Martin before
they started their crossing again- i've not been able to independently independently verify that
i'm expecting "Eclipse" will probably go through the mediterranean and head towards the same location
near "Port Said" you might think why would they go all the way across the Atlantic and then through
the Mediterranean but it's actually faster to go through the Med if you're going down
to the Indian ocean than to go around the horn of Africa -all right- next vessel is "Madame Gu"
i mentioned it that she left Dubai harbor there a few days ago and then probably turned off her
"AIS" too but she's been spotted in Dubai and as you can see from the photos sent in to me from various
sources including Monaco yachting instagram page she's at anchor just outside of the bay there
now she still has "AIS" switched off which is technically an infraction of the law - she is
reportedly owned by andre scotch who is currently on the sanctions lists so on February the 23rd
the EU sanctioned the 366 members of Russia's parliament- A list that includes Andre Scotch
okay next vessel m/y Nord now we've been talking about m/y Nord in previous videos-
i talked about some stuff happening with the crew -i've got more information now
so that they have been in the Seychelles cruising around those islands there what i've
what i have discovered is what i've been told by multiple sources is that most of the crew
most of the european crew should i say have now left the vessel and there are approximately 15
left on board who will take the yacht to its final destination final destination which i'll go into
in a minute a source told me that once they arrive at the destination all the crew will be terminated
now i don't mean Arnold Schwarzenegger terminators but i mean the employment contracts
not sure interestingly i'm not sure how those remaining crew are gonna get home from Russia
because most flights from Russia now have been blocked they're not allowed into the eu
they're not allowed into most of western europe they're not allowed into the US or UK airspace
so the only way i can think that they'll be able to get home is possibly from Russia to Dubai maybe
what i would say for the crew if you are if you are actually on that vessel or if you're
on any vessel that's going to Russia right now make sure that you have a "VPN" on your phone
because uh when you get there there's been a big clampdown on on you know free media and
social media and stuff like that so when you get there you might have problems now
as you arrive into Russia you'll still have your v-sat on your vessel but be sure that once
you leave that vessel that you're not going to have access to any of those facilities so
put a VPN on your phone and and you'll be okay -now i do have a link for you to get
money off of VPN- this is not a sponsored video -i do have a link with VPN because i have
an advertising deal with them but this is not i'm not getting paid for this but i'm just saying to
those crew you need to have a VPN on your phone if you want to be able to access social media
and also if you're sending any data within Russia - it's all monitored so make sure you have a VPN on -
your phone all right i'm going to move on so okay so now we're down to where is node heading so
alluded to a location in the previous video but I wanted to have at least at least 2 sources
say the same place to me before i went ahead and said the name of it now i've had multiple
sources tell me the same place and in actual fact interestingly in the comments section there
were some people who actually called out before i even posted it so you know we've got some amazing
people watching these videos and putting their nailed it straight away in the comments there well
i'm going to coin a name for this location i'm going to call it the Russian Riviera
and so the place "Nord" and possibly others which i'll which put in a future video are
heading is a place called Vladivostok and it's on the east coast of Russia through the sea of Japan
and yeah i think you know it's not the normal place you will find a super hot
they can go down to North Korea for the weekend if they like yeah- it's not they're
not going there to sample the the food they're going there because it just happens to be
the home of the pacific fleet of the Russian navy - all right- so in the in the previous video i talked
about "Amore Vero" being owned by "Igor Sechin" and and i said that "Amadea" was reportedly owned by
"Suleiman Kerimov" right so i got an email from "Imperial Yachts" i did ask them at the time for
a statement which they declined -well they didn't decline they just didn't get back to me and then
i got this from them after the video went live and he and this is from the - this is from imperial
yachts as i can categorically confirm that Amore Vero is not owned by "Igor Sechin" and "Amadea" is
not owned by "Suleiman Kerimov" either directly or indirectly then i asked what do you think about
the super yacht sailing around and switching off the ais which is a legal requirement for
all vessels all passenger vessels regardless of size which includes superyachts or "Imperial Yachts" replies
"imperial yachts complies with fully with all applicable relevant law and regulation in all
jurisdictions in which the company operates that's from Simon Clark -Imperial yachts but i would argue
that that's not the case because those vessels are required by law by international maritime law to
display ais when they're at sea or at anchor that's in maritime law and they're not doing that so
there is one reason why you can turn off your "AIS" and that's if you're in danger if the captain of
the vessel believes that the vessel is in danger by broadcasting ais they can switch
that off a good example of that would be if you were sailing off the coast of "Somalia" you could
you could switch off your ais legally but what you have to do is you have to inform the authorities
of the flag state that you are switching off your "AIS" and you have to write it in the log
book in the captain's logbook or the bridge log book in this particular situation they are not
in danger right they are they are avoiding the authorities of countries that have sanctioned
the people who own those vessels so that is not a reason to switch off your "AIS"
is literally because you don't want to be tracked by whoever is watching right and that's not
a legal reason in my opinion maybe i'm wrong any there you go anyway guys i'm going to wrap it up
here because i feel like this has gone on a long time - let me know what you think in the comments
if you've got any information you can send it to me through the usual things- instagram
or you can go to the about page you can click on there and you can send it
to to me on there i'm going to set up a a way for you to send stuff to me through signal or
through whatsapp - but i haven't set that up yet so i'll get back to you on that one in
the future anyway guys thanks very much for watching and i'll see you soon bye
bye
