What fate awaits the yacht "A" of the Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko. Why the superyacht of the Russian oligarch was detained

Well I do not know. Please don't call me a damned socialist, but I will get very annoyed reading the news" Russian oligarch built a yacht for 400 million euros at a shipyard in Germany.

This will be the biggest sailing yacht in the world (more than the one that).

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.

This miracle was paid for by the Russian oligarch Andrei Melnichenko, who already owns the famous yacht "A" for $300 million. That is, the dude spent about a billion dollars on yachts.

I'm not at all against yachts and billionaires on yachts. If it were bought by Volozh, who earned money by creating something that did not exist in the USSR, then one can only be glad for him. We - Yandex, the state - taxes, Volozh - a yacht. Let him put a gold plate with the letters y.a.n.d.e.x on his teeth. and stands with a cigar in a white coat on the deck, surrounded by fashion models dancing twerk. Has the right to.

According to another driver, Aleksey N., while the co-owner of EuroChem spends money on buying yachts, his employees die almost every month: miraculously saved his colleague, almost burned alive along with the BelAZ that broke out, is still in the hospital. And in January, the dump truck fell into a quarry, the young driver died.”

“In August, rock collapsed on the eastern side of the quarry. Several people seemed to feel that they left the station in a few minutes. Everyone survived,” he adds.

When the correspondent shows photographs of A. Melnichenko's yacht, Aleksey N. examines them for several minutes, then lights a cigarette, spits at his feet and quietly says: "Let him choke."

In Kovdor itself, residents are reluctant to speak about the leadership of EuroChem - they are afraid of losing their jobs. “Everyone here is connected with the plant, if you start performing, they will be thrown out of work,” says the wife of an employee of the GOK. Looking at photos of the new yacht of the co-owner of EuroChem, she calmly says: “He has the right. He earns and spends what he earns as he pleases.”

“Honestly, I’m not interested in what and how this person has fun. I am unfamiliar with him. He has a dream - a yacht, and I have - to get away from here, so as not to see all this again, ”adds Victor K.

If anyone thought that this post is about the different class interests of workers and damned capitalists, then no. This post is about our wrong state. It cannot perform the most important function - competent taxation. It cannot properly distribute the wealth arising from Melnichenko's entrepreneurial talents (perhaps there are some) and our common resources dug out of the ground. It cannot give freedom to trade unions, which ensured normal working conditions at the German shipyard, but they do not exist at the Murmansk quarry and there are no working conditions. It can't do anything at all.

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. The billionaire's sailing yacht, which begins sea trials in Germany, will be the largest vessel in its class and probably the most expensive.

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 observe the 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.

The three-masted yacht Sailing Yacht A (“Sailing Yacht A”), owned by Russian billionaire Andrei Melnichenko, was detained in Gibraltar. The reason was the claims of the German shipyard Nobiskrug, where the ship was built, in the amount of more than 15 million euros. This is only a small part of the total cost of the vessel, which cost the moneybags more than 400 million.

Melnichenko and his yachts

44-year-old native of Gomel Andrey Melnichenko is sometimes called the “king of fertilizers”: among his assets is OJSC Eurochem, the largest in Russia and one of the largest world producers of mineral fertilizers. Beneficial share of Melnichenko in OAO Eurochem is 90%. Approximately the same share in JSC "Siberian Coal Energy Company" - the largest in Russia and one of the leading coal companies in the world and LLC "Siberian Generating Company" - the leading electric power company in Siberia. Melnichenko's fortune is estimated at $ 13.4 billion, in 2016 he took 139th place in the Forbes world ranking of billionaires and 11th among Russian billionaires.

The new sailing yacht Melnichenko is called the largest in the world, or at least one of the largest. It has eight floors and an underwater deck, the vessel is 142 meters long and 91 meters high. The area of ​​​​her sails on three masts exceeds the area football field, and the crew of 54 people serves the vessel, reports lenta.ru. This is the second yacht of the oligarch: the businessman also owns motor yacht"A", launched in the summer of 2008 after four years of construction. They say that both yachts with the letter "A" are named after Alexandra's wife.

The detention of the new yacht, which came to Gibraltar to complete the finishing work, is associated with the claim of its manufacturer, the German company Nobiskrug, whose lawyers filed a lawsuit for breach of contract. It states that the customer, Valla Yachts Limited, failed to make the final payment of 9.8 million euros on time. The shipbuilders also had other claims in connection with debts on subcontracting accounts, and their total amount is 15.3 million euros.

The 44-year-old owner of the fortune has two things to be proud of: his wife and yachts. In 2005, the Russian oligarch married the former Miss Yugoslavia, Serbian top model Alexandra Nikolic, whose wedding cost him $40 million. Therefore, when three years later, in 2008, Melnichenko built himself new yacht worth $ 320 million, he had no doubt what name to give the ship. He named the yacht briefly and concisely, in honor of his beloved wife (well, a little in honor of himself): "A". Since then, the vessel has been considered one of the most famous and luxurious on the planet...

Looking at the unusual vessel, Londoners took pictures against its background and published footage on social networks. Pictures of "A", plying on the main river of the British capital, bypassed the English media. "Tens of thousands of ships have passed under Tower Bridge, but few have been as large and luxurious as this," writes the Daily Mail. Megayacht "A" was designed by the famous French designer Philippe Starck and built at the Hamburg shipyard Blohm + Voss. The length of the vessel is 119 meters. The design of the yacht caused a variety of opinions. The yacht is compared to submarines and warships, and journalists agreed that "this is the most attractive and repulsive ship in the world."

Spacious, with an area of ​​240 square meters, Melnichenko's cabin is located above the wheelhouse. A spiral staircase leads to it along the walls lined with sheet silver, the railing of which cost the billionaire $60,000. The double bed stands on a podium, which is rotated by pressing a button. Another button controls the rotation of the bed itself, so that the owner lying on it can admire the sunset and sunrise from any position. Only one mixer in the bathroom of the owner of the yacht cost him 40 thousand dollars ... The yacht also has three swimming pools, one of which has a glass floor, a helipad, boats and even its own submarine ...

Melnichenko has long been able to afford not to sit for days in a stuffy office, but to enjoy the fresh sea breeze on board his yacht in the company of a beautiful wife. With these two things, he, in fact, thunders in last years in the gossip column, inviting Hollywood stars of the rank Demi Moore and Sharon Stone to stay on their ship. For several years, yacht "A" has been seen in various parts of the world.

Over time, the old yacht seemed cramped to the billionaire, and last year he built another, larger one, worth $450 million. The oligarch again called the new vessel "A" (Sailing Yacht A), its length is 142 meters. She became the ninth in the list of the most big yachts planets.
