I'm just an average middle class guy that doesnt even live near the ocean and love this channel .. thanks esysman ))

[@schwags1969]

My to, fun to watch and see some pretty amazing boats.

[@huemann7637]

It’s nice to have goals.

[@sonnybradford8435]

You are on top of it!! Entire governments and their citizens can benefit from this work...its more than superyachts.

You did a good job on the video ! My brother !! Robert from Ohio ! USA 🇺🇸

[@aceadman]

The evolution of your channel has been amazing. I have literally no reason to be interested in the content, but I love it and I thank you for creating it.

[@swilkobarfingtoniii1642]

It would be nice to get some news from Vladivostok. Are all those yachts that fled there early on still holed up? Have they been moving around at all?

[@susanquinlan7426]

Thank you for showing the access of these super yachts; In the U S we peasants blame each other for lack of funds. This really shows just how money is so gross for the wealthy. What a world and it helps to shine a light on the bigger picture. Thank you!

[@mattio7234]

Exactly!

[@BoomVang]

Some yacht arrests surely must be negotiation escalations for disputes about whether work was done to satisfactory standards, like in home remodeling/repair.

[@bragr_]

Perhaps, but I don't think that would be a major problem since the yacht owning crowd is also the high power lawyers on standby crowd. If it's really a baseless arrest, they'd get it thrown out pretty fast, probably before the arrest even happened.

[@lazygardens]

You don't leave port until the fuel, food, and docking fees are paid. You don't leave a shipyard until the repairs and upgrades are paid for.

[@azuresea8086]

Always interesting. Are there penalties for switching off the AIS?

[@denniswheatley8201]

Wow lots of information about the yaught . I must admit the yaught in Spain. Is pretty sweet on the eye's. Nice looking ride

If you had told me that i would be explaining the way World War 3 would play out is by watching coverage of Super Yacht News and not by listening to the BBC i think I would have been committed to the looney bin. *But here we are!* no doooobt! Crazy

[@Welshchief]

#eSysman: Who or what organisation would take action against ships for not complying with IMO Regs and Maritime Laws in regards to AIS? Surely some Flag State, Navy, Police, Coastguard, etc should be taking action?

[@geezzzwdf]

Here in the states they call it or used tio call it a mechanics lean

[@guntmar]

...and the vessel Moonraker nearby MY Vanish adds some extra James Bond vibes..

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Always informative! Thanks for the updates.

[@easternwoods4378]

I have a question. In your car you normally get an oil change about every 6000 miles. At 60 miles per hour that would mean an oil change every 100 engine hours. When a yacht transits an ocean you'd be putting 100 hours on a engine every four days. Do they do oil changes while traveling or do they have larger crank cases with much more oil that they don't have to change as often? Changing oil every four days, that would be a lot of new and used oil to store.

[@pfisherking]

In a tractor trailer you change the oil every 10,000 to 50,000 miles depending on engine and severity of use (Local stop and start deliveries vs. long haul interstate). 50,000 miles at 50 mph equals 1,000 hours. That is an excellent question.

[@timnor4803]

That's a good question.

[@easternwoods4378]

@@pfisherking Thanks That's about every 40 days. That probably also applies to ships. I've heard tractors on factory farms have oil changes on the fly for when they are going 24 / 7 during planting and harvesting

[@lowandslow3939]

It depends on the engines. Generators need an oil change more frequently than the mains. We do change oil while underway, if we are on a long enough trip that it can’t be put off. The engine has to be shut down, oil pumped directly from oil pan to dirty oil holding tank, filter is changed, and new oil is pumped directly into the oil pan. It’s topped off and restarted. A sample is taken, to be sent to the lab for analysis. We carry huge amounts of clean and dirty oil.

[@julianmckernan1348]

Another great video… it was nice to see you out and about in Genoa again the other day..

[@makgou9148]

Such a wealth of information. Thanks

[@brianprice3193]

Excellent information……

[@Chereese0808]

Do the owners or captains ever get fined for turning off AIS? They should!

[@waynedrummond6583]

Why are authorities not prosecuting the Captains of vessels which are not abiding their legal obligation to maintain the AIS signal?

[@johnburgess5534]

Why don’t the insurance companies discontinue their cover when vessels switch off the ais?

[@skiingfast1]

My friend Bob Robert's loves your channel but can't log in to KZbin to comment.

[@gregorm9183]

eSysman looks like Captain Haddock without the alcoholism. Great channel mate

[@jacobyrassilon]

So a strange question: If you were to buy a seized yacht at auction, has there ever been a documented case of the original owner coming back and trying to re-buy it from you? And what if you don't want to sell it back to them?

[@olasek7972]

Yeah, strange question, highly artificial too

[@jacobyrassilon]

@@olasek7972 Just curious...hey, I'm on KZbin, lots of rabbit holes and not all of them deal with yachts.

That’s possibly happening right now. Stay tuned for updates

Bit off track but where is that marina behind you? It looks familiar.

[@kirkschabatka1999]

Thanks for your insight!

[@denisemeredith2436]

Do you think that the superyacht owner of the yacht in Dubai watches your channel and ordered his tenders to turn off their AIS?

[@Spacey7]

I expect it's cheaper to leave your yacht & arrange for someone to buy it back when it's sold? Hahaaaa love the M/Y Vanish joke 😂

[@bigstatz4629]

That section of port in Tampa is a restricted area with a checkpoint to enter and I do believe port authorities will stop you before you can take your recreational vessel inside the that port area.

[@a-fl-man640]

reside in Tampa but too old and lazy to check it out.

[@marcyhammerstein3914]

Are there no penalties for turning off their tracking devices, their AIS?

[@seenbyme6696]

Hi mate big love of the channel. Do you live up n the wirral?

[@miguelangelsimonfernandez5498]

Even though frozen, there is possibility to ask special permission from the judge to pay for the upkeep under sanctions.

[@calumshaw]

Ships (all vessels over 300 gross tons) fitted with AIS shall maintain AIS in operation at all times except where international agreements, rules or standards provide for the protection of navigational information. A flag State may exempt certain ships from carrying an AIS. The Maritime Safety Committee is still trying to restrict public access to AIS data on the web claiming it jeopardises the safety of the vessel and those on board - stupid of course because anyone wanting to cause grief to ships at sea just sets up their own AIS, eg pirates off the coast of east Africa.

[@Cinepobrefilmfestival]

patreon is cool, but I gave all my money to you know the thing

[@ronconrad3507]

Mr. Sysman as a past crewbie of -100 Ton vessel A boat you can handle. I'd say 120 feet. After that

[@jeffjames4064]

I'm curious, what's to keep a vessel that's under arrest from slipping out in the middle of the night?

[@johnmcque4813]

YaY, Yacht Seize News!!

[@nlr70]

How come the captains aren't being prosecuted or sanctioned for turning off AIS operators who deliberately switch off their identification and tracking electronics should be held to account for endangering others?

[@shoominati23]

We were having a problem with the antenna, there was a connection that would intermittently short out. The console showed us transmitting, but later we were informed that , infact , we weren't visible. Is along the lines of what they would most likely say

[@thomass.9604]

It is the flagstate that is supposed to do this, and when you see which flags most of these yachts fly you know that nothing serious is being done.

[@gullreefclub]

The people who are supposed to enforce the rules of the road on the ocean are wherever the vessel is registered i.e. flag state and since most of the counties that flag these vessels do so for registration fee and otherwise don’t usually give a damn. Personally I think any vessel not broadcasting AIS and gets in a collision regardless of actual fault should be considered at fault because without broadcasting AIS they are a hazard to navigation.

[@timgallivan1614]

If non payment for services is the most common reason for yacht arrest, why does it happen? These guys are rich already. Aside from the Russian sanctions issue, why do these Billionaires stop paying? Thanks, love the channel.

[@beepaw1]

I suspect it's a matter of ego with the owner so they can negotiate a deal, I also believe the boatyard billing department adds extra $$$$ in anticipation of this very thing. So in the end everyone comes out a winner.

[@savagedabs8536]

Why would you tip them off to how they were being tracked? Major face-palm

[@davidhongkong5657]

Is Motor Yacht A capable of submerging to a depth where the greater part of the bridge tower could also drop below the surface and leave exhausts and communications equipment in a normal above surface working condition? There is something odd about the whole design of this vessel. This vessel must also have some unusual signatures namely:- infra red, pressure wave, radar, accoustic, low earth orbit photographic, and a couple more.

[@YachtReport]

No, she is just an elaborate yacht.

[@belledetector]

Why am I watching this?? But it´s weirdly captivating...

[@comachos]

@@YachtReport Thank you. A perfect size as it can fit in a lot of ports.

[@miguelangelsimonfernandez5498]

It's about time they get punished under international maritime law for not displaying AIS or displaying false information except in areas of piracy like Somalia or some places in Asia

[@teammudshark6894]

In reference to MY Ulysses in the Port of Tampa. We have a 40sec clip for you confirming that it's there. Not great but as mentioned below in the comments she is not easily accessible. I cannot for the life of me, find how to send it to you. I could post it on our channel and send you the link. Is there another way to get it to you?

Oh, right, got it… ha ha MYA now MIA 😂 The captain must be the Invisible Man …

[@Cheers_Warren]

Arrest is usually called a 'mechanics lien' i.e. If there is Unpaid services done by mechanic or shipyard workers etc it its very easy to file in court for a mechanic Lien and property ( car , boat whatever) can be held ( arrested) until paid with appropriate expenses and interest etc. . This is common in USA and uk and many other countries I expect. Cheers Warren

[@YachtReport]

That is not used in the industry. I’ve never heard it used in the UK.

[@timnor4803]

I've filed mechanics liens that didn't matter until they needed to transfer title... certainly no arrests ever happened

[@lowandslow3939]

As a Chief Engineer for twenty years in the industry, I have never heard an arrest called that.

[@olasek7972]

Phrase “mechanics lien” applies only to land/buildings in the US. If it is a vehicle a different terminology applies.

[@gullreefclub]

@@olasek7972 ​ I have had “mechanic liens” put on vehicles for non payment and have done so when I lived in Maryland, Georgia, and Florida. This really only applies to vehicles that are on your property and not for say a vehicle that a customer paid for the work by check and the check bounced or a stop payment was put on it. At which point you have to use other methods of collection which include everything from the somewhat dubious practice of taking the vehicle back (basically a semi-illegal repo depending on the the state) collection company, filing a claim in court (suing for payment) and good old fashioned showing up at the deadbeats place of work and demanding payment which sometimes if done in front of the person’s boss gets him/her involved sometime they pay the bill and sometimes you get told to leave the property.

[@boazjoe1]

I don’t wonder why the tenders have AIS, I wonder why you mentioned it so now it’s turned off

[@JelMain]

Oh dear. Another hurricane's headed towards Florida

[@peterbest5938]

Both Spain and France allowing clear sanction rules to be ignored is not surprising at all. Italy is just as bad at ignoring international law - question is what is done to punish those that flout the sanction rules because they look just as bad as those being sanctioned?

[@pugman99]

are any super subs on the list?

[@dscott130]

It's essentially a mechanic's lien.

[@dlfendel2844]

Any thought about the new Prime Minister cancelling plans for a new Royal Yacht and the possibility that the Brits could just take one of the confiscated/arrested Oligarch yachts and "rebrand" it as a new Royal Yacht to avoid the construction expenses he just cancelled for budget's sake?

It's odd how you pronounce 'Ulysses' given how popular the name is in literature and history. Try "You-LISS-Ease' with emphasis on the second syllable. Ulysses is the Latin name of the Greek hero of Homer's Odyssey. Also the title of James Joyce's best-known work and also one of Tennyson's. Also the given name of the famous US general Grant.
