this is super yacht news with eSysman
hi welcome back to the channel we've got first of all on the left there we've got photograph
and this was sent in by a subscriber this is m/y Palladium we mentioned it in a few videos
recently this was the one that ultimately led to my number one fan sending me those
messages this is in Fort Lauderdale near Pier 66 next to the 17th Street Bridge there m/y a
played him like I said which was sold by the Russian Mikhail Prokarov to American
Dennis Washington and this is just a nice photograph of it being a doctor in in Florida
all right so while we're in the US we'll move on and we'll talk about the final report of the
incident between Utopia 4 and the Tropic Breeze tanker which took place on the 23rd of December
in 2021. now this is you'll remember the story of the yacht that was doing 20 knots at night
in the Bahamas and it rear-ended a a tank of color Tropic Breeze sinking the the tanker
now we're going to do a full video on this because there's an awful lot of information in that final
report which I think is very interesting and I don't want to I don't want to give it all here
right now because I've got other stories to get on with so we'll just give you the final report
what they said it's interesting that actually there's quite a few emissions in this report
from the NTSB and the NTSB basically determined that the probable cause of the collision between
the Utopia 4 and the tanker vessel was that the Utopia 4's wheelhouse crew was not maintaining a
proper Lookout and therefore not identified the tanker that they were overtaking uh contributing
factor was the Tropic breezes Bridge team also not maintaining a proper watch unbelievably there was
also some technical information there that that was limited the ability for them to see on their
radar which I'll go into in a future video and then the final thing that they said in that report
was that this the NTSB they said that operators and Crews should ensure that the vessel Bridge
teams are staffed with certified credentialed Mariners who are familiar with all the bridge
navigation equipment and are able to independently take immediate action now if you remember in the
previous videos we said that the captain left the bridge at the time of the incident and left
an unqualified Lookout on the bridge like I said we'll go into that in a future video
if you want to see the video that we put out last year which was basically telling the story
of how the accidents occurred I'll put a link up here and you can watch that video and next
week we'll do the follow-up with all the all of the information from the final report I'll also
put a link in the description here if you want to go and read that final report in the meantime
all right so we'll move on to the main story here and this is the fire in Marbella now this
was this was on Wednesday that this happened the blaze started around 19:00 hours or 7 P.M
local time on Wednesday 11th of January and the and the police and emergency services along with
volunteers attended to try to fight this fire it was understood that there were 100 boats in
this facility there's a storage facility in the la bacadilla fishing port in Marbella now what
they're saying is around 80 of those vessels were destroyed and they're saying that some of
them went from fishing vessels to luxury boats to small Yachts were in that building and the
building was used as a storage facility over the winter where people could take their boat out of
the water and just put it in there for storage and it was also used to repair vessels as well
and a quote from a spokesperson said that the building serves as a winter Port where the boats
are stored after being taken out of the water and some are being repaired now that's probably I'll
give you an idea of what possible possibly caused the fire you know with welding hot work and stuff
like that that I don't have any information to support that but I'm just saying that the fact
that they were doing repairs in that building would suggest that that could be a possibility
for the start of that fire they don't know what caused the fire the fire was brought under control
by around 2100 or 99 PM local time on Wednesday but they said they said they still don't know
what what the cause of that fire was all right so we'll leave on a on a positive story for a change
this is a Oceanco project 1050H was launched they did all the pump and ceremony of a new yacht at
the Oceanco Shipyard now the reason why for this is because even though this is not a new yacht
it is a it's a rebuild of of an older yacht that they originally built the vessel was originally
called well the vessel was called Motor Yacht H when it went into the shipyard but it was
originally called Alma cab now we're not talking about the Blue Hole that'll make up the 130 meter
plus one we're talking about the previous Alma cab which was built by ocean Co in 2000 and that
vessel had these winglets up on the top there by the funnels and stuff and it that boat has
been rebuilt not refitted but rebuilt including a change from 95 meters to a 1 105 meters or 10
meter addition to the length of the vessel 105 meters is 344 feet she and she's unrecognisable
visually from How The Vessel looked when she went into the shipyard and the obviously the interior
has got undergone a complete transformation new propulsion and other features to make the vessel
more friendly to the environments an ocean Coast say that the conversion took less a year less than
a new build so that gives you an idea of how much actual work went into this project the fact that
it took them almost as long a year less so probably three four years it's for a new build
so we probably took them two to three years to to do this rebuild so it is a very big project that
they had on there oh like I said new propulsion new length to the vessel new superstructure
new interior effectively it's a new yacht considerably less expensive apparently to do this
the yacht will be delivered later this year but some really nice photographs here from Oceanco so
