CNBC should definitely change the photo!If I was the owner of the yacht pictured in the article I would be very upset and it could lead to many issues with even vandalism.
@@mamobarker8055 And don't forget there are a few local middlemen involved...and they know the Gov't is betting on a huge payday.....I doubt the crew.....doing basic maintenance and no guest services....make that money.
With reference to your CNBC story, Proof if proof is needed is that research and knowledge of the topic being reported on is essential, and as you say with the right facts being included brings about confidence in the article being written about, otherwise as you say we question the validity of any other reports given on a whole range of topics! Nice work e Sysman! Stay Safe & Keep Reporting!!
I just sent an email to CNBC, with a link to your information about Usmanov and Dilbar and a CNBC article (which shows a yacht which is NOT the Dilbar) , asking CNBC to change the picture.
One would think it would be in CNBC's interest to publish the right photos. If the wrong boat ended up vandalized, I imagine the owner would hold them responsible.
If they use your photo to correct their reporting they will likely misspell your name. Probably something like "iSisman" or "aLispman". Fingers crossed. 🤞
I am sure they plan to float her by flooding the dry dock. But first, the boat needs to made stable. It is still partially on keel blocks. This would make a good video.
@@mikew6765 This boat was rigged for rough water. All the deck doors may be water tight. The question then becomes if the doors could withstand the water pressure. More I think about the superficial outside damage, there may be a huge amount damage below deck. Maybe even the engines and their mounts. Interesting
The Black Pearl is a far mroe interesting ship because of its electric operation which charges batteries while moving under sail and can cross Atlantic without using any fuel. (any news on when the sails will be fitted with solar panels?) The Bezos yacht appears boring to me.
It's wild that it costs so much to keep a yacht sitting somewhere if all you need is just to keep it afloat given you don't have to maintain it beyond function when you know the boss ain't comin back for it. But hey, they should give tours of Dilbar, make a couple bucks, I'd certainly love to look around.
Just watched your video on the RV Petrel and WOW.......those working on her at the time had one hell of a narrow escape even though it resulted in some injured being admitted to hospital. Very very fortunate there were no fatalities.
Even the most despicable among accused criminals are entitled to have legal representation in the courts so I don't see the particular outcry about any London law firm doing it. In a way it can help to resolve legal matters sooner once top lawyers explain reality to a stubborn client.
Credibility is the fundamental currency of journalists. I guess we now know that Ms. Macias is either journalistically bankrupt, just doesn't care about accuracy, or her publication is totally incapable of correcting their errors. That is why I watch you!👍
It's CNBC, a major national television network. They couldn't care squat about accuracy, they just need catchy headlines to pull in the viewers (and thus advertising dollars).
Dilbar isn't stuck in the dry-dock in Hamburg anymore, Blohm and Voss needed it for other work. It has been moved to the Weser in Bremen, where Lürssen is based.
It seems they parket it straight across the river from the Lürssen Werft, however that technically means it's in another federal state, Because Lürssen is on the Lower Saxony side of the river, and the yacht is now on the Bremen side.
None! None of that money is going to go to help anyone in Antigua. The only "people" that it's going to help are the people that are going to help themselves to it by whatever schemes they have already thought up.
Question sir, when we talked about gross tonnage, say like 16000 gross tonnage for motor yacht Dilbar, how many square feet are we talking about? Cause it’s hard to visualise with the gross tonnage. Thank you
I don't have the floor space numbers for Dilbar, but Nauta Design provided some of those for a concept of comparable size, Project Gleam (165 m / 13,000 GT) Interior luxury spaces: 2,040 sqm / 21,958 sqft Crew accommodation: 1,140 sqm / 12,271 sqft Catering and service: 850 sqm / 9,149 sqft External furnished spaces: 3,170 sqm / 34,122 sqft
You know that you made it, if you got the largest sailing yacht and the support vessel to it.... maybe you need a support vessel, to the support vessel, too.....
Re Tango, Koru and Black Pearl. Note that Tango has been parked up in marina 'Club de Mar', whose berths are 100% privately owned. CdM is undergoing major construction work atm and has only limited large berths in operation, which is why Tango had to be shuffled out of the way. In the meantime, Abeona is now here too 😃
Wait, yacht crew member makes 15-20k a month?! For what?! Lol I understood a captain could make a 100k+ a year. But that's a captain. I wouldn't expect a deckhand to make 10-20k a month. 🤔
Yes the first thing I noticed. That figure adds up to an average of $5,600 per week per crew member. Or an average salary of $280,000 per crew member. LOL
Wouldn't the easiest way to right the Petrel be to take everything off the deck, make sure it hasn't got a hole in it, and fill the dry dock up with water, refit the stuff that keeps it upright and then drain the dry dock again?
In my local news a while ago there was information about Alfa Nero being seized, and they had photos of Amadea there instead. So incorrect photos might not be so uncommon occurrence, unfortunately.
Unbelievable.. if I was the owner of the vessel wrongly showed by CNBC I would be really upset .. and right to seek damages ! Which vessel is it ? By the way is a really modern and stylish vessel .. 👍🏻
Shouldn't the new owner of a Russian's yacht be worried about retaliation from the Russian for taking his prized possession? I think I'd be leery of buying one of these yachts, for this very reason, even if it was a good deal!
@@MarcoDeLasVegas I'm betting the crew's employment agency takes a huge cut, the crew has just maintenance and no guest services to perform.......They know the Gov't is counting on a huge windfall they never, ever expected!
Regarding the lawfirm representing the Alfa Nero's oligarch, one should understand that yachts are rarely in DIRECT ownership by individuals. There are usually many legal entities between the Ultimate Beneficial Owner - UBO - ant the ship (Holding companies, "propco's entity, Trusts etc.). Should some of these companies be registered in UK, these "UK legal persons" are entitled to be represented by UK lawyers. Thank you for your videos. It's super cool to have insights in this whole Yacht ecosystem)
Any expenses they have will be offset by the money they get from selling it. I wonder if there is a loan on the yacht? Seems like they would have to pay the bank if there is.
I have passed Dilbar on many occasion in Barcelona, sailing passed her on my 37footer they had one of the garage door opened and I could I have just berthed in. only issue was my mast was too tall for the door but you could have had two of mine in easy
She has a deadweight of 1500 tons. That is a fair amount, but not huge. You need to lift say 1/2 to 3/4 of that to put her back on blocks. But you can't lift in one point, or she will break into bits. The biggest crane in the world can lift 5000 tons, so would have no trouble with the weight. Getting it there and on a stable platform would be a much bigger challenge. I suspect that they could use between 2 and 4 portable cranes to lift her, attaching at multiple points. The question is whether a crane lift is more practical than refloating her. Part of the answer may depend on what damage, if any, has happened to the hull.
So yacht managers are waiting for over a year to get approval from HMC/Treasury to pay crew, but lawyers can charge a spa full of Krug and Beluga and get that reimbursed in a nanosecond…
Some law firms specialize in representing dubious individuals - representing sanctioned Russians is probably a good prestige, low risk client with a lot of peers needing the same services.
You dont bring in Mammout and 2 of their heavy lift cranes to clear a dock. They're there to right Petrel. They have already installed a row of hydraulic jacks along the port side to right the ship against. They'll use the 2 cranes to right the ship against them before installing similar jacks along the starboard side to allow the proper shoring before handing the ship back to the yard or owners.
How mean you are to tell a network that they misidentified Dilbar. What was the yacht shown as CNBC might be worried about an error that got them sued!
Why can't they just sell Alfa Nero? Why does a country have to get the go ahead from another country? Are they trying to avoid from getting sanctioned themselves?
Bezos’ sailing yacht is big at 127m (417ft) LOA, but it’s not the biggest *ever* - that historic credit goes to the Ming Chinese (1405-1433) “baoshan” treasure ships, which were between 134m-164m LOA with 64m beam (440-538ft LOA, 210ft beam)
It was never claimed to be the biggest. It claims to be the tallest Ship in the World. It's three masts are some of the tallest ever mounted on a ship at 230 plus feet in the air.
The channels perfect people need shorter bytes of information😅 seems like people have the attention spans of a freaking squirrel love your channel cheers from Atlantic Canada👍😎🇨🇦
Lawyers are allowed to represent sanctioned individuals because lawyers write the sanctions. Lawyers are only slightly less abhorred than politicians - Ah, but they be the same. A great point that UK attorneys are not prevented from representing sanctioned individuals.
To be fair - lawyers should be logically not affected by those sanctions. Otherwise how can you go to court and fight for your individual rights for wrong sanctions or general legal issues, if noone can represent you legally? (We know those Oligarchs have dirt on them, but it might also affected someone who's wrongfully accused)
Lawyers can be, which is one of the problems with the whole sanctions process. In a fair justice system, everyone is entitled to legal representation. If we ignore that, then we're ignoring a fundamental human right that is one of the things that's meant to show we're civilised. This is just one of the problems with the sanctions regime in general given it's essentially collective punishment, not justice.
@@brolohalflemming7042 And it primarily punishes the poorest people of the country that is sanctioned. The wealthy have enough attorneys and sham businesses that they just move things around to minimize the impacts.
Would they bring cranes to get the vessel (the RV Petrel) upright again? Or can the flood the dock and float her out, reset the blocks, and bring the vessel back in to the dock and secure her, then drain the dock?
According to the UK law society: "You can act for someone who’s on the sanctions list, but you must have a licence from the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) in advance of engaging in any dealing with funds or economic resources, including being paid your fees or any funds on account. Where a specific licence is needed, OFSI strongly encourages firms to apply for a licence in advance of providing substantive legal services, in order to have certainty as to the fees that will be recoverable." Basically is seems the UK Sanctions system has more holes in it that a colander...
That particular news organization has never really been about accuracy. Sad to say but it's hard to find good news channels like this one on major airways.
Regardless of sanctions, surely the Alpha Nero after being abandoned and running up a cost to the government, should be sold. If that was the US or UK it would have been sold long ago.
The top 5 law firms in the world bill annually more than $1.2 Billion each. We would never know their clients unless we were dealing directly with them. Oligarchs are permisy=tted to pay for legal representation. Hence some of them tried to send their lawyers way more than the fees.
The stats of Dilbar have a funny side. 156 meters yacht, and the largest ever built by volume. Have the owner ever walked around the complete yacht? How long it took him? Was a weekend enough? He would need holidays to recover after that! It’s like ordering 4.654.864.764 steaks for lunch just because you can pay for them !
