with eSysman, welcome back to the channel. Well, we have some

breaking

news

here and it is about the motor

yacht

Axioma which is currently leaving Gibraltar. The hangover doesn't seem like a big deal but when we tell you the backstory you will understand why this is important as the Axioma ship is a 73 meter or 240 foot yacht and as I said she was seen setting sail today at 16:15 UTC time, leaving Gibraltar being towed by tugboats. The yacht was previously owned by a Russian businessman, Dimitri Pompianski, but it was seized in connection with a claim by the J.P Morgan bank, so this happened in March, around March 21, the ship was heading across the Atlantic and, in fact we checked it in traffic and realized it said destination Gibraltar which we thought was strange because we knew the

owner

was under sanctions and we thought it would be strange for them to go there because the ship would be arrested anyway, there it is where they went, our sources said.

We were told the ship was headed to Turkey, but the ship went to Gibraltar and docked, and the authorities immediately surrounded him and arrested him right then and there, so I'll give you a little more information about the yacht and what happened to it. today but over the weekend we received information from shore sources in Gibraltar that the ship had been moved from a long term berth and we ourselves went to Gibraltar and filmed Axioma last year, we will post some screen footage here and this was the birth the boats were in all the time now at the weekend the boat was towed to the bunkering dock.

I believe this because I have been there many times, he was there for several hours and then was moved to a second birth, which suggests that she went there temporarily to refuel; However, as we said, the ship is not using her own propulsion to move, so it seems there is a problem with the ship, why would they need fuel otherwise? They don't have running engines you might ask, they still have to use the generators to provide air conditioning, lighting and other electronic devices for the ships, so they still need fuel, for that reason the Admiralty of Gibraltar confiscated the ship after Una JP Morgan's lawsuit successfully took the boats, because they said there was an outstanding debt of 20.5

million

euros, which is about 21

million

dollars, and then the yacht was sold a few months later by the Gibraltar Admiralty Court in a single Two day sealed auction, sealed bid auction, so one or two days after the auction was completed, remember it was a sealed bid auction, the highest bidder did not win, it was a sealed bid and the bidder was selected by the Admiralty based on due diligence.

I checked a couple of days after that, when they said they still needed 10 days, but two days later, we were contacted by sources who said they already knew who the buyer was, they told us that the buyer was Turkish and that the buyer was connected with the shipyard that originally built the yacht, whose name is Dunya Yachts, and at the time of the arrest they were also working on a support boat for Axioma at the shipyard, a new boat which we have now been unable to confirm. The new buyer is really Turkish, but we can confirm the fate of the ship, which we will talk about later, so in statements at that time the Marshal of the Admiralty said that the Axiom had been sold after payments of 37.5 million dollars to the winning bidder by the winning bidder and the bid was selected after completing an enhanced due diligence process, but Admiralty Marshall was not going to reveal who the new

owner

was, so as I said, we revealed it on the channel in the At a time when we believed that the new owner was Turkish and that the ship would be heading to Turkey, we now also thought it was strange that someone from Turkey would buy a yacht that had previously been owned by a Russian and that the ship had been taken as part of the business. sanctions because where are all the Russian yachts right now?

They're all in Turkey, so this is where we think after completing the 10-year US Bureau shipping inspection and fixing any issues the boat clearly has while she's being towed. most likely the boat will be put up for sale and then who buys it is anyone's guess. Okay, the ship, as I said, is currently being towed according to AIS on Axiomi, it says the ship is heading to Turkey as was speculated in September in the channel. Interestingly, the yacht is transmitting that she is underway and that she is not being towed, which is unusual and also the destination they put in AIS is incorrect.

Actually, we think it is a wrong destination. Now the tug has the correct destination and it is Gemlik in Turkey, we will put the destination on the screen so you can see if it is not that far from the boss directly in Turkey and they have an ETA of around February 11, so yeah, that's it what we have come so far. Stay tuned, we will check the vessels as long as we can. I said we also have the tug details, so as long as they both continue to transmit the AIS, which are their requirements, then we will be able to Track and give you more updates when we have them.
