Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.

Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich owns or is linked to a collection of five yachts estimated to be worth almost $1bn, including several vessels whose ownership remained secret until this week.

A Financial Times investigation into the billionaire’s assets has lifted the veil of secrecy he maintains over his wealth, even after the UK and EU imposed sanctions on him following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for his allegedly close relationship with President Vladimir Putin.

Authorities in the UK and EU are attempting to identify all of the assets owned by sanctioned oligarchs. Abramovich was already widely reported to be the owner of Solaris and Eclipse — worth $474mn and $437mn, respectively, according to yacht data service VesselsValue. But the FT revealed this week that he also owns Halo and Garçon, which are both moored in Antigua.

The Antiguan government was unaware of the ownership of the boats docked on the island before inquiries from the FT, highlighting the scale of the challenge UK and EU authorities face in enforcing sanctions.

Tom Keatinge, director of the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies at the Royal United Services Institute think-tank said governments, banks and other institutions trying to enforce sanctions had to navigate a world where “ownership trails run cold and morph into a haze of front companies, nominees and cut-outs”.

Halo and Garçon are valued at $38mn and $20mn, respectively, and are now at risk of being seized.

In a letter to the British high commissioner to Barbados regarding the yachts, Antiguan minister of foreign affairs Paul Chet Greene said the island would “provide full assistance to the government of the United Kingdom” if it receives a request under the two nations’ Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty.

The letter noted that Antigua had requested information on the company that owns the two boats — British Virgin Islands-registered Wenham Overseas Limited — after “persistent allegations by the Financial Times that the vessels could be owned by Mr Roman Abramovich”.

In response, the British high commission provided Antiguan authorities with a letter, seen by the FT, “from the Financial Investigation Agency of the British Virgin Islands which states the beneficial owner of Wenham Overseas Ltd is Roman Abramovich”.

The letter also shows the billionaire’s address in Switzerland is listed simply as “Immeuble, Gatzby Le Magnifique”, which translates as “The Great Gatsby Building”.

Keatinge described the UK’s ability to demand full ownership information of companies registered in any of its overseas territories or crown dependencies as its “most powerful global weapon” in combating financial secrecy.

However, he asked: “How much is that weapon being used?”

A person with knowledge of Abramovich’s boat collection and documents seen by the FT indicate that the oligarch may also still be the owner of Sussurro, the first yacht he bought in 1998, despite reports he had given it to an ex-wife in a divorce.

The person who correctly identified the two yachts in Antigua as belonging to Abramovich told the FT the oligarch still owned Sussurro.

The vessel’s owner is listed in maritime registers as Vesuvius International Limited in the British Virgin Islands. BVI documents show this company was deregistered there in 2017. Another Vesuvius International was registered in Jersey the same year.

The owner of Jersey-based Vesuvius International is listed as Wotton Overseas Holdings Limited. This entity — which shifted from the BVI to Jersey in 2017 — is also the owner through a subsidiary of a helicopter that has been photographed landing on Abramovich’s Solaris several times.

Maritime tracking services show Sussurro, which means “whisper” in Italian and is valued at $11mn, is moored in La Ciotat in the south of France — the same port where the French government last month seized a $116mn superyacht belonging to a company tied to Igor Sechin, head of Russian oil group Rosneft.

Sussurro’s management company is Blue Ocean Management, a Cyprus-based company that also manages Le Grand Bleu, a 113-metre superyacht that Abramovich reportedly gave to his business associate Eugene Shvidler.

The UK placed Shvidler under sanctions last week.

The letter from the BVI’s financial investigation agency to its British counterparts also reveals that the owner of Le Grand Blue — Ashchurch Holdings Limited — is owned by “Zarui Shvidler”. Shvidler’s wife is commonly known as Zara Shvidler.

VesselsValue pegged Le Grand Bleu’s market value in a range of $110mn-$130mn, noting that the boat had last been tracked this week in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Puerto Rico.

Representatives for Abramovich and Shvidler did not respond to requests for comment.

SOLARIS Yacht – Exquisite $600M Superyacht

The SOLARIS yacht was newly launched in 2021 by Lloyd Werft.

At 139.7 meters (458 ft), SOLARIS is considered an absolute giant in the world of superyachts and ranks as the 15th largest in the world.

SOLARIS yacht interior

No official photos of the interior of the SOLARIS yacht have been released, so the exact design is unknown.

However, judging from the minimalist and modern layout of the decks, it can be assumed that the interior follows a similar trend.

The German designer Frank Neubelt is said to have worked on the interior of SOLARIS, although details of the project are unknown.

The yacht is one of the largest in the world, so it comes as no surprise that the SOLARIS yacht can accommodate an impressive 36 guests onboard.

Around 60 crew members find space in the cabins below deck and are available to tend to every need of the passengers.

The yacht also features a large gym, spa, and several salons to host events and welcome guests.

MY SOLARIS Specifications

MY SOLARIS was built in 2021 by the German shipyard Lloyd Werft and became the largest vessel they had ever delivered.

The total length of the yacht is 139.7 meters (458 ft) which makes her 23 meters (75 ft) shorter than Abramovic’s other famous yacht, ECLIPSE.

Her beam is 21.35 meters (70 ft), and her draft measures 5.95 meters (19.6 ft). Her total weight lies at 11,247 tons.

The SOLARIS yacht is powered by six MTU engines which allow her to travel at an average cruise speed of 18 knots with top speeds of 20 knots.

SOLARIS yacht exterior

The exterior of MY SOLARIS was designed by Marc Newson Ltd , an Australian industrial designer who has worked in several industries, including aircraft, furniture, and clothing.

His work is easily recognizable by smooth lines and rounded shapes with geometric elements.

The SOLARIS yacht is a prime example of this with its sleek look, rounded balconies, and many windows. Her eight decks have an unusually light wood that decorates the many open spaces of the vessel.

There are several extendable platforms to release tenders and toys and a large beach club located close to the swimming platform.

Of course, SOLARIS includes a full-size helipad as well as several swimming pools, one of which is located on the largest of the decks aft of the vessel.

SOLARIS yacht price

Yacht SOLARIS was delivered to Abramovic for a reported price of US $600 million, placing her among the most expensive superyachts in the world.

She generates a further US $50 – $60 million in annual running costs.

A $700 million superyacht owned by the sanctioned oligarch Roman Abramovich is sailing toward his other $600 million vessel in the Mediterranean

Two superyachts owned by the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich are sailing around the Mediterranean.

Abramovich's Eclipse is heading in the direction of his Solaris yacht, ship-tracking data shows.

There was no destination port for either superyacht listed on MarineTraffic's website.

A $700 million superyacht belonging to the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich seems to be heading toward his other $600 million vessel in the Mediterranean Sea, ship-tracking data shows.

MarineTraffic's map suggests that if the two superyachts keep on their current courses, they would eventually meet in the Ionian Sea, a part of the Mediterranean separating Greece and Italy.

Eclipse, Abramovich's 533-foot superyacht, was just off the coast of Algeria on Tuesday, sailing east across the Mediterranean Sea, MarineTraffic data indicated . The ship — worth $700 million, according to SuperYacht Fan — has been underway from St. Martin in the Caribbean since February 21, the data shows.

Abramovich's 460-foot vessel, Solaris, which was off the eastern coast of Italy on Friday, was between the coasts of southeastern Italy and Albania on Tuesday, MarineTraffic data indicated . The website showed Solaris moving south.

Some Russian oligarchs and billionaires believed to have close ties to President Vladimir Putin — including Abramovich — are moving themselves, their yachts , and their private jets in the wake of sanctions announced by international governments. Their assets could be seized as part of measures aimed at the Russian elite in response to Moscow's decision to invade Ukraine.

Abramovich is one of seven Russian oligarchs sanctioned by the UK on Thursday. The sanctions include freezing their assets and barring them from doing business with the country.

Other jurisdictions, including the European Union, have announced similar sanctions. Spanish authorities said on Monday that they had seized a $153 million superyacht that was later linked to the Russian oligarch Sergei Chemezov, the CEO of the Russian state-owned defense conglomerate Rostec and a close ally of Putin.

There was no destination port for Eclipse or Solaris listed on MarineTraffic's website, so it's unclear where Abramovich's superyachts will dock next. Solaris — worth $600 million, according to SuperYacht Fan — had been docked in a Spanish shipyard since late 2021 for repairs until it departed last week.

Reuters first reported that Abramovich was spotted in a VIP lounge at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel on Monday — the same day that flight-tracking data indicated a private jet linked to him flew from Israel to Istanbul. It was unclear whether Abramovich was on the plane, Reuters reported.

Russian Oligarch Roman Abramovich’s Two Superyachts Are Sailing Towards Each Other in the Mediterranean

Ship tracking platforms show that the billionaire’s yachts "eclipse" and "solaris" are relocating to the mediterranean, with no port destination specified., emma reynolds, emma reynolds's most recent stories.

Russian oligarch and billionaire Roman Abramovich is on the move—and so are his superyachts.

After being slapped with sanctions in response to Russia ’s invasion of Ukraine, the billionaire was last seen on March 14 at an airport in Israel, where he has dual citizenship, according to Reuters .

Abramovich, who is currently worth an estimated $7.1 billion, according to Forbes , appears to be moving his yachts to safer waters. His 533-foot superyacht Eclipse , normally anchored year-round in the Caribbean, has been sailing east towards the Mediterranean since February 21, according to global ship tracking platform MarineTraffic. As of Wednesday, the ship is located off the coast of Algeria and is still sailing east with no port destination specified. The yacht, estimated to be worth over $600 million, is one of the largest and most expensive in the world , and seems to be cruising towards Abramovich’s other yacht, Solaris , in the Ionian Sea.

The 461-foot Solaris  is currently located in the Ionian Sea off the western coast of Greece and heading south. Solaris was most recently at a port in Barcelona, where it had reportedly been receiving repairs since late 2021 . The ship left without declaring a destination. However, it’s possible both Solaris and Eclipse are heading towards each other and are even eyeing ports in Israel where Abramovich is considered safe from sanctions.

Though a long-time ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Abramovich has denied having close ties to the Kremlin. This hasn’t stopped dozens of nations, including the US, UK and several EU countries, from implementing sanctions and asset freezes on the oligarch. The sanctions are part of a concerted multinational effort to pressure Russia’s wealthiest and most powerful individuals to help bring Russia’s war on Ukraine to an end.

Perhaps sensing the economic pressures to come, Abramovich made headlines just days after the Ukraine invasion for stating his intention to sell his beloved Chelsea Football Club in London for $2.5 billion. The billionaire said all proceeds would benefit Ukrainian refugees and “victims of the war,” which, notably, may also include Russian soldiers.

Russians own up to 10 percent of the world’s megayachts, so Abramovich is just one of many Russian billionaires who are moving their assets to avoid seizure by international authorities. This week, Italian police seized Russian oligarch Andrey Melnichenko’s 486-foot Sailing Yacht A, and earlier this month, France impounded the yacht Amore Vero , owned by Russian oil billionaire Igor Sechin. Other Russian billionaires have had their yachts impounded in other EU countries.

This isn’t the first time Russian oligarchs’ whereabouts have been made public. Florida teen Jack Sweeney, who once tracked Elon Musk’s jet, created a Twitter account —@RUOligarchJets—dedicated to tracking the private jets of Russian oligarchs, which is updated daily.

Watch as a $75 million luxury yacht built for Roman Abramovich smashes into a Carribean dock

Sea accidents aren’t exactly uncommon. Unruly weather, inexperienced pilots and the hand of fate often cause even the sturdiest of water vehicles to tumble around and break apart. In a similar turn of events, a luxury Superyacht named – ‘Ecstasea’ recently crashed into a bridge control booth in the Caribbean lagoon of St. Maarten, leaving several shocked across the globe.

View this post on Instagram And then this just happened, thankfully everyone is said to be okay. The exact cause of the accident is still unclear but this is 1 of multiple yachts to have collided with narrow opening of the bridge in the past few years Vid submitted to me an anonymous source. A post shared by Alex J (@theyachtguy) on Dec 15, 2019 at 11:59am PST

In the viral footage clicked by Bystanders on the scene, the entire episode can be seen on record with the clip(s) also capturing how the bridge’s operator jumps off the building in time and makes it to safety. Although the boat itself suffered minimal damage, the control booth structure was majorly destroyed. No casualties have been reported at the scene and the bridge will remain luckily remain operational with immediate effect.

Commenting on the incident, Simpson Bay Lagoon Corporation project manager Bertrand Peters in a statement said, “It was tricky – the vessel had some difficulties. The impact took out the booth but the controls and gear were all intact so the bridge remains fully operational and opening times will not be affected.” Well, all’s well that ends well after all!

Das ist die teuerste Yacht der Welt – Sie gehört einem Oligarchen

Das ist die teuerste yacht der welt – und diesem russischen oligarchen gehört sie.

Link kopiert!

Die Super-Yacht Eclipse bietet Platz für 40 Gäste auf sechs Decks mit 24 Kabinen. Sie verfügt über zahlreiche Freizeitmöglichkeiten, darunter ein Pool, ein Kino und eine Disco, sowie vier Motorboote und zwanzig Jetskis.

Der russische Oligarch Roman Abramowitsch hat die Yacht in Auftrag gegeben und ist nach wie vor Eigentümer. Seit vergangenem Jahr liegt die Yacht in der Türkei.

Der Baupreis lag bei 637 Millionen Euro, nach Umbauten liegt der Wert nun bei 850 Millionen Euro. Damit ist die Eclipse die teuerste Yacht der Welt.

Die Super-Yacht Eclipse steht für puren Luxus. Auf sechs Decks mit 24 Kabinen bietet sie Platz für 40 Gäste. Damit denen nicht langweilig wird, sind vier Motorboote und zwanzig Jetski an Bord. Auch ein U-Boot soll es geben. Alternativ kann man sich die Zeit im 16 Meter langen Pool, dem Kino oder der Disco vertreiben. Mit einer Länge von 162,5 Metern gehört sie zu den längsten Yachten der Welt.

Über den genauen Wert der Eclipse gibt es verschiedene Berichte. Gebaut wurde sie 2010 in Hamburg von der Reederei Blohm+Voss, die den Baupreis öffentlich nicht kommuniziert. Medienberichten zufolge betrug der Baupreis aber 637 Millionen Euro.

Die Stadt Hamburg taxiert den Wert hingegen auf 850 Millionen Euro. Dass der Wert sich steigert, könnte mit diversen Umbauten, unter anderem im Hafen von Barcelona zusammenhängen. Damit ist die Eclipse die teuerste Yacht der Welt.

Russischer Oligarch ist stolzer Besitzer der Eclipse

Doch wem gehört die Mega-Yacht? Der russische Oligarch Roman Abramowitsch hat das Schiff in Auftrag gegeben und ist nach wie vor der Eigentümer.

Das hätte sich im vergangenen Jahr fast geändert. Im Zuge der europäischen Sanktionen gegen russische Oligarchen musste Abramowitsch die Yacht in den türkischen Hafen Bodrum verlegen. Dort liegt sie Stand Ende April 2023 immer noch.

Auch wenn die türkische Küste eine der schönsten der Welt ist, kann Abramowitsch sein Schiff damit nicht mehr vollumfänglich nutzen. Ein ziemlich teures Vergnügen, bedenkt man, dass die Instandhaltungskosten einer Super-Yacht jährlich auf etwa 20 Prozent des ursprünglichen Werts taxiert werden. Die Kosten summieren sich durch Hafengebühren, Spritkosten und die Löhne der 70-köpfigen Crew an Bord.

Diese Super-Yacht steht derzeit zum Verkauf

Zum Verkauf steht die Eclipse derzeit trotzdem nicht. Doch Superreiche mit dem nötigen Kleingeld könnten stattdessen bei der Super-Yacht AHPO zuschlagen. Der Yachtbroaker Moran Yacht & Shipping listet die Yacht seit Februar 2023 als zu Verkaufen . Die AHPO ist zwar nur 115 Meter lang – kostet dafür aber auch „nur“ 330 Millionen Euro. Vorbesitzer ist der kanadisch-jamaikanische Milliardär Michael Lee-Chin.

Abramowitschs Größenwahn

Wenn Milliardäre Yachten kaufen, dürfen diese bekanntlich nicht zu klein ausfallen. Jetzt wurde die größte Yacht dem russischen Oligarchen Roman Abramowitsch zum Verhängnis. Das Boot ist zu groß, um in den Hafen von Antibes einzulaufen.

Die neue LuxusYacht des russischen Milliardärs Roman Abramowitsch ist die längste der Welt, und das kann zum Problem werden: Die eher an ein Kreuzfahrtschiff erinnernde Yacht ist so groß, dass sie nicht im Hafen der chicen Stadt Antibes an der Côte d'Azur anlegen konnte. Am Montag dümpelte das Boot deshalb in der Bucht von Antibes im Meer, nicht weit vom Cap d'Antibes, wo der Milliardär gelegentlich in seinem Anwesen an der Küste ausspannt.

Die in Hamburg gebaute "Eclipse" wurde bei einer Messe in London zur Yacht des Jahres 2011 gewählt und ist geheimnisumwittert. In der Fachpresse werden ihr Ausrüstungsmerkmale zugeschrieben, die eines James-Bond-Films würdig wären: So soll sie über ein Raketenabwehrsystem ebenso verfügen wie über einen Zugang unter Wasser, durch den Gäste das Schiff diskret an Bord eines dreisitzigen Mini-U-Bootes erreichen oder verlassen können. Ein Laser-Schutzschild soll Fotoapparate neugieriger Paparazzi angeblich per Lichtstrahl blenden, die Kabinen sollen über kugelsichere Fenster verfügen.
