this is super yacht news with eSysman
hi welcome back to the channel -in a recent video we talked about the Russian money being
on the move again right , we talked about Dilbar moving from Hamburg to Bremen and I'm
being reassembled and having work done on it ,which it was forbidden to have any work done
on it for months so now they've reassembled the boat they moved into Bremen who put it in a dry
dock- why do you need to put it in a dry dock if you're not working on it- that's obviously a clear
sign that the vessel is being worked on, motor yacht Luna money is moving again we've heard-
also sailing yacht A in Trieste in Italy went back into the dry dock and had the mass refitted she's
now back out of that dry dock and that tanker interested again now after 6 months of motor yacht
Plus Ultra being sat in Panama it's something a story that we've gone back to a couple of times
over the 6 months and we told you about the fact that the vessel was just sat there in Panama and
it was as a result that the owner who was under sanctions was basically stranded in Panama on the
on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal for months not moving because of the sanctions have affected
the owner Andre Gunsharenko and he couldn't you know for whatever reason he wasn't able
to move money around to get that boat moving and the boat just sat there now this this has
been happening with a lot of boats if you go on to the IMO database right now for Plus Ultra it
says registration/ flag-state "unknown"- now the only time I've seen this on other boaters when
they've been deregistered like sailing yacht A and motor yacht A, they both would be registered
by the Isle of Man and on the IMO database it still says for motor yacht A "unknown" that's
the current status of the flag state for Plus Ultra however she's currently broadcasting on AIS
and she's now broadcasting (she was Cayman Islands registered) she's now broadcasting a Panamanian
Flag so the vessel has changed flag-states so that's another vessel to add to the list another
vessel has now changed flag States another Russian vessel so the vessel like I said after 6 months
the vessel's moving around again for the first time in 6 months and she is now in Costa Rica
so she sell from Panama to Costa Rica but the way she's moving around it does appear that the owner
is on board because of the way that it's visiting all these different islands is spending a certain
amount of time there and then it's moving to the next place it's moving around like a boat that
is then get in a guest trip so it's most likely that Andrea Gonchirenko is on board the vessel
so it would seem that whatever restrictions were preventing him from using that vessel
they've been resolved now right because the vessel is again active
so anyway we'll keep you updated on that but we'll move on to the next story and this is
about motor yacht Nord as we've reported in videos last week we were the first to report
that the vessel was moving from Vladivostok in Russia which she where she fled when the
sanctions were first imposed she has been there ever since until last week when she sailed to
Hong Kong the U.S government did an unnamed person in the U.S government did say that "it was a bad
thing for that boat to be there it was reported by a British newspaper that was not an unnamed
official right but after that happened the Hong Kong government they replied they they actually
replied to that unnamed official and they did it quite dismissively so after that happened the US
actually did an official comment on the fact that that vessel was there according to the Hong Kong
newspaper the standard they said that motor yacht Nord's appearance in the is not only unwelcome but
has also disrupted the piece because of the links to sanctioned Russian steel Mogul Alexei Mordashov
the vessel is a prime target for the sanctions led by the US so it would appear that depending on who
you ask the the vessel is welcome or unwelcome because the chief executive John Lee Ka-Chu he is
quite defined on this and he laughed off warnings by The Americans and there's a reason for that
most likely because he is actually under sanctions personally by the us because in 2020 he was one
of 11 Hong Kong officials who was sanctioned by the US for and I quote undermining Hong Kong's
autonomy and restricting the freedom of expression or assembly for the citizens of Hong Kong
but yesterday Lee publicly laughed off this is the chief executive in Hong Kong the warnings as
nothing so like I said some in Hong Kong say the vessel is unwelcome and some seem to think that it
is welcome to "The Standard" newspaper went on to say that it would be in Hong Kong's best interests
to see "Nord" sail away on its own and the sooner the better and there could be possibly Financial
moves going on there because obviously Russia has been pushed out of dealing in the U.S and
dealing in London and they seem to be looking for a new place to move money and it is possible that
that Hong Kong could be that place right it is a financial hub after all and it seems that
they are trying to get in in Hong Kong and they're hiring lawyers to help them to achieve their goals
and this might be why no order is there because it's like an image of Russia sitting there in the
harbour and sort of telling everybody hey the Russians are here right so anyway we'll bring
you more on this story when we have it the one correction I want to make from the last video in
the last video I said that Alexi Mordashov who owns motor yacht Nord I said he he also owned
Moscow airport in Russia and that is actually inaccurate- I was of course thinking of Dimitri
Kamenshek who is the owner of Flying Fox, he owns Moscow airport so that was a mistake on my part
all right so just one more thing before I go I just wanted to mention that I put out a video
called a short YouTube shorts video and it was a section of the last super yacht news a few people
on found it to be unwelcomed by regular viewers no doubt, the reason why we are doing that is because
the shorts videos have been proven to massively increase your reach on YouTube in attracting new
people to the channel so we are going to do that with future videos we're going to take a section
of this of the news video and we're going to put it in a short so we just want to let you know it's
not ideal the way YouTube has set up the short system I know it's unpopular with a lot of people
but it is also proven like Peter McKinnon and other YouTubers have said that they've had massive
growth when they've put out shorts videos so I'm trying to attract new people to the channels and
that's what it's there for so if you see the news video and then the following day you see a shorts
you know you don't have to watch it because it is effectively a section from that video
all right I'm going to leave it there if you've got any information about any of the stories
