Lots, they are shrouded in many layers of management dealings to ensure this privacy. They have (had?) the money to assure this privacy. I expect the private boats have owners that have enemies, and these people do not want someone taking out their grudges by sinking their pride and joy.

I’ve been subscribed for some time now… I’m a water lover so naturally a boat enthusiast as well so I instantly became hooked for all the outstanding no b.s. yachting videos you were making. I say that only to show that after following you from back WELL before the sad turn of events in Eastern Europe, I have seen quite a bit of your content and I had to share that midway through this video I became quite impressed. It was clear as day how you’re really working harder than ever and doing a great deal of investigating to bring us all the information that you do. Not to say you didn’t put great time and care before… just that now you’re going above and beyond. One of the few channels bringing trustworthy info on current events without any political bias as well. And I know it’s not just myself that appreciates it. So on behalf of us all.. Thank You 🙏🏻. You’re efforts are noticed and You are very much appreciated. You deserve ten times the subs you have now. I hope one day that becomes a reality. Safe travels my friend 🤙🏻

Great information as always.

Great info as always. Hotter than the salsa I was using on my pizza. Thank you.

8:59 At first Heesen was denied - by the Dutch Court - to buy out this Russian because the notary representing him refused to cooperate. Later on, the Heesen board managed to persuade the notary that the offer was fair and in the best interest of both parties. For un unknown sum, Alekperov was bought out. Heesen financed this with - in their own words - a VERY long 0% interest loan. Given the ever going profitably of the company it was probably financed in-house. Good"!

Although in most jurisdictions, 0% interest loans are non-enforceable, as the Borrower is not giving any consideration to the Lender for the use of Lender's monies (loan).

"Busan" isn't just "somewhere in Korea", it's Korea's second city and a major port city. I wouldn't really think of it as a megayacht city though.

Maybe he selling the yacht because his taking a big financial hit because of the war. A yacht of that size cost €60M a year to keep in full service and also the price is around €300-400M

Good job!

NORD aint drunking the tender or purging the watermaker in my personal opinion. They might be sub watching or testing live firing of flares that far out. Or the motor/captain/head steward has gone poopy. Are we sure the European crew returned ?

Fabulous.

I think the market for confiscated superyachts has crashed into paying someone to take over the liability of owning the yacht.

Nice shirt!

great report, thanks. You have mentioned the side effects of the sanctions, Brit Cos not able to complete deliveries, crews out of work before, and it woukd be interesting to see what these Cos have to say about the unintended knock on effects of the sanctions, besides the huge down turn in building new mega yachts, but, I guess Lurssen et al won't talk about that either?

I guess Nord could be out in international waters to change ownership and avoid the tax liability. The transfers are always done outside 12nm. But also, she did have a number of dry docks after she was built so maybe she has technical issues requiring more sea trials. The new crew theory also holds weight.

Wondering about the legal aspect of sanctions in case the agreement between the service provider/seller and the sanctioned entity was concluded before the sanctions. Obviously in civilized conditions, the non-retroactivity rule should be in force, and the contracts already signed should be fulfilled. But I guess it doesn't work that way, and contracts are being broken.

It gets worse than that: the Brits dispatched to Fiji by their usually British employment agency were not only turned around in LA (LAX) ENROUTE to replace the crew, they were DEPORTED, BANNED for five years from the USA. That means they will have to DECLARE it on any future employment (I can't dock in a US possession, island, or mainland. Basically, it makes them unemployable and it makes this shit show THEIR PROBLEM. And in the UsA it's called "Administrative Directive" by Border Security guys (no judge, no lawyer, no legal process( so basically you can't APPEAL, because it's NOT a court system. Or maybe you can, but you AIN'T gonna win.

Question on Nord: to these boats end up requiring more maintenance if left at port for too long before they are brought back to service? aks: is there an advantage to stertcy the boat,s legs from time to time instead of spending 6 months at port? From operating costs point of view, does going out to sea with crew only end up costing more, roughly same or less than staying put in port (and paying port fees). ? Re: Lürssen: I am curious on payment schedule for such boats. What percentage is vai downpaytment, whether teh ship architect/desighn s paid separately etc. But with the owner putting ship up for sale before it is finished, it is likelty the contract for construction that is being sold which puts the new onwer on the hook for any/all remaining payments for the ship (and the Ukrainian guy won't have to dish out that cash to take owership of completed ship and then find buyer).
