She will be the largest sailing ship
Russian tycoon Andrey Melnichenko, known for his fondness for expensive floating toys, will soon be able to enjoy a new acquisition. Sailing yacht The billionaire ship, which begins sea trials in Germany, will be the largest ship in its class and probably the most expensive.
That the product of the design genius of Philippe Starck, worth about 400 million euros, is preparing to go on a test voyage from German city Kiel, according to the British newspaper Daily Mail.
According to media reports, the eight-deck vessel has a width of 25 meters and a length of 143 meters. The crew will be 50 people. The yacht will accommodate three carbon fiber masts with a height of more than 100 m. The area of the largest sail will be 1767 square meters. Passengers, among other activities, will be able to watch underwater world through the transparent underwater section of the hull.
For comparison, which became famous in connection with the wedding of the Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov, has a length of only 88 meters.
The fact that Andrei Melnichenko ordered the construction of the largest sailing ship in the world became known in July. The yacht was built at the shipyard of the Nobiskrug shipbuilding company. She was named "Sailing Yacht A". Melnichenko already has a megayacht called “A”, but it is not a sailing yacht, but a motor yacht. Melnichenko attracted the famous designer Philippe Starck to the creation of both yachts.
VIDEO: The first yacht of the oligarch Melnichenko - the interiors are fascinating
Melnichenko owns controlling stakes in the energy company SUEK, Evrokhim, Siberian Generating Company. Forbes magazine estimates his fortune at $9.1 billion. In the rating "The richest businessmen of Russia", compiled by the publication, in 2015 he took 13th place.
The largest yacht in the world was arrested for debts. The owner of the snow-white eight-deck ship that came under arrest is Andrey Melnichenko, a Russian oligarch, the founder of MDM Bank, the owner of three Krasnoyarsk thermal power plants and the country's largest coal producer, SUEK.
“Hundreds of people are amazed by the look and dimensions of a giant yacht that entered the Strait of Gibraltar”, - foreign media wrote a week ago. A couple of days later, the yacht "A", which really looks more like a military cruiser than a cruise ship, flashed on the news again.
The largest yacht in the world is the decoration of the collection of luxury cruise ships owned by the 44-year-old oligarch Andrey Melnichenko, whose assets include Eurochem (90% of shares), Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK, 92%), Siberian Generating Company (SGC LLC, 92%), and the fortune is estimated at 13.4 billion euros (this is 11 th place in Russian list and 139th place in the Forbes world ranking of billionaires).
On February 5, the yacht "A" left the port of Kiel in Germany and headed for Spain, where they must undergo finishing work, sea trials and acceptance tests. However, since February 18, the yacht has been under the control of the Admiralty of Gibraltar, where Sailing Yacht A entered for refueling. The lawsuit was filed by the shipyard Nobiskrug. The German shipbuilders claim that they have not received 9.8 million euros of the final payment from the customer, as well as 2.6 and 2.9 million euros have not been paid to subcontractors. The total debt of Valla Yachts Limited, through which Melnichenko received the order, thus reaches 15.3 million euros. It was necessary to deposit money, according to the contract, before January 27.
Yacht "A" 2008 also designed for Andrey Melnichenko by Philippe Starck
The largest yacht in the world
Sailing Yacht A costs about $400 million and was designed by the famous (almost legendary) Frenchman Philippe Starck. The construction of the ship took four years.
Until now, Eos (93 m) and Maltese Falcon (88 m) were considered the largest yachts, but the creation of Philippe Starck and German shipbuilders set a new record, both in terms of dimensions and technical equipment of the vessel. The length of the yacht "A" is 142.5 meters, the width is 25 meters, the total sail area is 3700 square meters. meters (this is half football field), the height of three carbon fiber masts is 91 meters. Inside one of these masts is a room accessed by a spiral staircase. However, to raise the sails, you do not need to climb up - there is a special button for this. But sails are not always needed either: the ship has two powerful diesel engines and two electric motors. And the captain does not stand at the helm, but controls the yacht using a touch panel. By the way, some innovative technologies developed specifically for yacht "A" can be licensed - this will help partially offset the costs of its design and construction.
"A", named as it is supposed, in honor of the wife of the oligarch - a former Serbian model Alexandra (Sandra) Nikolic, can take on board up to 20 guests. At their service - a spa club, a beach with three pools, a garage for four cars (if you need to go on land) and a submarine - for sea voyages. A special room equipped with lower deck, allows you to monitor the life of the deep sea through a panoramic camera, and one of the decks is reserved for a helipad. It took 1,300 trunks of expensive teak wood to finish the yacht.
The yacht is served by a crew of 54 people. The cabin of Andrei Melnichenko himself, according to the press, is protected by bulletproof glass, for security purposes, 50 video surveillance cameras are also installed on the ship. Cruising speed "A" - 20.8 knots (about 40 km / h), displacement - more than 12,000 tons.
Yacht "A" 2008 is the most attractive and repulsive ship in the world, according to WSJ.com
"Unpleasant Episode"
This is how Andrey Melnichenko's lawyers assess the situation with the yacht "A", they are sure that the arrest from the vessel will be lifted within a few days. The issue of non-payment is subject to arbitration in the UK, where it will be considered (port of registry "A" - Hamilton on Bermuda). At the same time, representatives of the oligarch say they are amazed at the actions of Nobiskrug: some issues with the shipyard really remained unresolved, but no one shied away from discussing them. “We assumed that the matter was moving towards mutual agreement and sending the yacht to Spain” lawyers comment. In particular, Andrey Melnichenko's representative Alex Andreev told the media that the funds, pending resolution of the situation, transferred to a special deposit account.
And 9, and even 15.3 million dollars with a total capital of 13 billion do not look serious. But it may turn out that this is not the only debt associated with yacht "A". Before leaving for the Pyrenees, the ship called at the Norwegian port of Christianssen for two days. Some commentators do not rule out that the route was specially laid out in such a way as to “save” 70 million VAT along the way. A yacht manufactured in Germany for a foreign customer is subject to taxation in the country of operation. This rule was introduced by the German financial service in order to avoid double taxation. The condition is that the country of operation should not be a member of the EU, Norway is quite suitable for this. To obtain VAT exemption in Germany, all you need is Norwegian signatures and seals confirming your stay in the kingdom.
“The manufacturer in this case indicates the price without VAT on the invoice and notes the presence of an export delivery”, - explain in the Ministry of Finance of Germany. The risk for the manufacturer lies in the fact that the customer may subsequently simply “forget” to receive the necessary papers. In this case, the seller may demand payment of VAT from the buyer, and then, after the presentation of export documents, refund the VAT.
The conditions under which the yacht "A" was purchased from Nobiskrug were not disclosed. Based on a cost of 400 million euros, VAT could be approximately 70 million. Representatives of Andrey Melnichenko declare that all the required tax obligations are being met, the shipyard has not yet commented on the tax issue. Therefore, the version put forward by Dagens Naerisliv that the ship's entry into Norway is connected precisely with the VAT refund remains only one of many.
This luxury yacht belongs to the president and co-owner of the private oil company LUKOIL, Vagit Alekperov. The yacht was built in the Netherlands by Heesen Yachts and delivered in 2016. The boat has already won international exhibition Monaco Yacht Show. Now she is "wintering" in Montenegro.The price of the super vessel has not been disclosed, and there is no information about it in the domestic media. But a Heesen spokesperson told Business Insider that yachts of this class are selling for $13.2 million per metre. In that case, Galactica Super Nova should cost somewhere around $900 million.
Alekperov can afford such an expensive vehicle. According to Bloomberg, in the past six years alone, he has become richer by $ 3 billion. During the third presidential term, the Russians generally did well and built up their fortunes, despite Western sanctions.
Eclipse
This is the largest of Roman Abramovich's yachts. Its length is 162.5 m, and the approximate cost is $400 million. On the motor yacht there is a music stage, an exhibition hall, two swimming pools, a gym with a sauna, a cinema, and even a small clinic that can perform simple surgeries.
IN this moment the yacht is located in Saint Barthelemy - the so-called island of millionaires - in the Caribbean. A few years ago, Abramovich bought 70 acres of land and a bungalow overlooking the ocean here. So if the UK decides to create problems for a businessman because of a conflict with Russia, the owner of the Chelsea football club has room to retreat.
Dilbar
Owned by oligarch Alisher Usmanov, the yacht is equipped with a diesel-electric power plant, allowing the ship to move with cruising speed 22.5 knots (about 42 kilometers per hour). The estimated cost is $600 million.
The yacht is named after the mother of the founder of USM Holdings, which combines assets in the mining and metallurgy industries.
According to the MarineTraffic vessel tracking map, on March 14, Dilbar passengers set sail from Spain and headed for the island of Sardinia.
Quantum Blue
The cost of the yacht is about $250 million. At the end of February, she went on the route from Gibraltar to French Nice.
According to the specialized site SuperYacht Fan, the yacht belongs to the founder of the Magnit retail chain. Sergey Galitsky has a helipad, a jacuzzi, a swimming pool, a spa, a gym, a cinema and an elevator connecting all decks on board.
“Spending a lot of time on a yacht is overkill. A week is enough for me to already yearn for Krasnodar, ”said Galitsky.
Yacht "A"
For coal tycoon Andrei Melnichenko, size seems to matter. The world's largest "sailboat" with the name of the first letter of the entrepreneur's name was built specifically for him. It is longer than a football field.
Owns Melnichenko and the Swiss chemical company Eurochem. But it is believed that he spends most of his time not at work, but on a boat worth between $300 million and $500 million.
She can accommodate 14 guests in 7 cabins. There are 20 cabins for 42 crew members.
Recently, "A" sailed past Cyprus, and they converged on the legendary yacht locals. Prior to that, she stayed in Israel. Now moored to the Spanish city of Cartagena.
Palladium
The yacht, almost 100 meters long and worth $200 million, belongs to Mikhail Prokhorov. Last October, she visited Ibiza and has been wintering in the Spanish port of Vilanova ever since.
Palladium has 8 cabins and can accommodate 16 guests on board. Experts note its stylish futuristic design. It was created by the British bureau Michael Leach Design by Michael Leach.
Prokhorov loves water sports sports, so the yacht has a complete set for them.
There is even a special area designed for drinking cocktails.
Last year, the oligarch's boat attracted the attention of the Spanish tax authorities. The case concerned non-payment of the sum for the mooring of the yacht.
Ice
While the Russian senator, accused of tax evasion in France, cannot leave Nice before the end of the trial, his yacht is also imprisoned. Last year, the media reported that Ice could be arrested at the request of the Geneva prosecutor's office.
According to state services, the $170 million boat has not left Morocco for a long time. But once even Bill Gates wanted to buy a yacht, but Kerimov refused to sell it.
Madam GU
The steel hull of this boat is painted in a unique sky blue color. Until 2015, she was the largest yacht built in the Netherlands. According to rumors, it belongs to State Duma deputy Andrei Skoch. In any case, journalists have repeatedly noticed him on board Madam GU. But this $150 million yacht is not listed in the official declaration. Perhaps framed for relatives or close friends.
Moored by Madam GU in Genoa. Interestingly, the last time they rode it was on February 27th. Just when there was a “regional week” in the State Duma according to the schedule and deputies had to meet with their voters. Perhaps he invited some of the inhabitants of the Belgorod region, which Skoch represents in the lower house, to ride along the Italian coast.
Ocean Victory
At the time of this writing, a $120 million yacht was sailing from the Seychelles towards Canada. Which is a little strange, since its owner is the head of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, Viktor Rashnikov. He recently got on the "Kremlin list" of the US Treasury.
Really swam to negotiate so that the sanctions are still not introduced? After all, the Canadian port of Victoria is located on the very border with the US state of Washington.
Another version is that Rashnikov went to recruit Canadian hockey players to join his own Metallurg club. If only there were no accidents - a tragedy occurred a couple of years ago on board the luxurious Ocean Victory. An iron chain wrapped around a worker's legs while lifting an anchor in Thailand. The man, who received numerous injuries, lost a lot of blood in a short time and fell into a coma. Medics transported the victim to the nearest hospital in Phuket, but failed to save his life.
Number
180 meters - the length of the world's largest yacht Azzam, which means "Resolute" in Arabic. The width of the vessel is 20.8 meters. It belongs to UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan..presidential grace
Superyacht graceful- one of the most mysterious in the world.It began to be built in Russia, at the state enterprise Sevmash. This is the largest shipbuilding complex in our country.
After Sevmash built the original hull in 2010, it was towed to German Bremen. There the boat was modified, put on the water and sent to Hamburg. German shipbuilder Blohm + Voss completed the equipment of the vessel in 2014.
On the specialized yacht websites they write that the “Graceful” is smaller in size (82 meters) than some megayachts, but in “luxury it is not inferior to them”. It has an indoor pool, which after certain operations can be converted into a dance floor; owner's apartment on two floors, two VIP cabins and three comfortable guest cabins.
One of the main advantages is a unique helipad on upper deck, allowing you to comfortably arrive on the yacht.
In the Russian media, despite the domestic origin of Graceful, almost nothing was written about her. Little information can be found in Western publications. Deutsche Welle noted that Graceful was built at the same Hamburg shipyard as Roman Abramovich's yacht. This gave reason to the British edition of the Independent to suggest that the oligarch could have presented the boat as a gift. After all, the Daily Mail previously wrote that Abramovich had already donated one ship.
Rumors that Putin or someone close to him owns Graceful may be true, according to Superyacht fan, a UK site that tracks billionaire superyacht acquisitions. But the authors stipulate that they found "only circumstantial evidence." In addition to the above, it is that the yacht is under the command of the captain of the Russian fleet.
The source studied the routes of Graceful and found additional arguments in favor of the fact that Putin can swim on it. The dates of the ship's sailing coincide with the president's schedule.
Maps from VesselFinder, a civilian ship tracking website, show that the Graceful is constantly running between Russia and Spain. On May 23, 2017, the yacht was spotted off Sochi. The site Fleetphoto, where users post their photos of ships, even has a picture of Graceful standing in the bay.
According to the Kremlin website, these May Days Vladimir Putin spent just in Sochi. He had a meeting with members of the Security Council and a meeting on the development of the space industry. Similar coincidences on the simultaneous presence of Putin and Graceful in Krasnodar Territory celebrated for two years. But not only. On September 15, 2016, the President travels to Kerch, where he holds a meeting of the Presidium of the State Council. And Graceful also follows in the Crimea.
As of March 14, the yacht was in the port of Barcelona. Surrounded by three other boats in close proximity: Ona, Titan and Symphony. The first belongs to the oligarch Alisher Usmanov, the second to Roman Abramovich, and the third to the president of the Louis Vuitton group of companies, Bernard Arnault.
Arno is the richest man in France. You can call him a friend of Russia. He visits Moscow, and a few months ago Putin even awarded him the Pushkin medal.
The owner of Graceful has signed a confidentiality agreement with Blohm + Voss. However, according to the website Fleetphoto, the owner of the vessel is a company from the Bahamas.
The Bahamas is a well-known offshore zone. Thanks to the leak (Bahamas Leaks), it became known that at one time the US-Russian offshore company was led by former US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Rosneft also had its share in it.
A company called O'Neil, which appears as the owner of the Graceful yacht, was registered in the Bahamian jurisdiction in November 2003. Exactly one month earlier, in October, Vladimir Putin signed a decree establishing diplomatic relations with the Commonwealth Bahamas. True, O'Neil's status is no longer active.
If a lot of circumstantial evidence is enough to talk about Graceful ownership Russian President, then it has the right to be considered the most expensive in Putin's personal flotilla. Earlier, a source found another "galley" at the head of state - a 46-meter Shellest worth about 1.5 billion rubles. The Graceful yacht is valued at $5.7 billion.
Buy Sell
The owner of the Monaco football club and one of the richest people in Russia, Dmitry Rybolovlev, ordered the construction of a new 110-meter yacht at the Dutch shipyard Feadship. His last yacht, the 67-meter "Anna", he put up for sale at a price of 65 million euros.But Putin's longtime judo partner Arkady Rotenberg (more precisely, the partner of this partner Grigory Baevsky) purchased the Rahil yacht worth $60 million. It was originally built for the British billionaire Graham de Zille.
One of the top yachts in the world, the $220 million Pelorus, recently lost its Russian owner. After the divorce, Roman Abramovich left her to his ex-wife Irina. She sold it, after which the boat changed several owners. Now members of the royal family of Abu Dhabi swim on it.
