You can’t even open the doors on Alfa Nero without diesel
Billionaires are so fuckin comically short sighted. What happens if you lose engine power while out at sea?
Also - don't they ever watch movies? They could have at least set up some things to run on solar. You want your yacht to be as green as possible in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
Zombies really dont have the required dexterity to crack hydrocarbons
As far as the skeleton crew is concerned. They are still unpaid, loyal, and bored beyond words. Out of the standard crew of 44, twenty-five members have sued to recover $2.1 million in unpaid wages, and only a team of six is now responsible for the upkeep of the Guryev asset.
$100,000 a month and none of it's going to the employees?
It has been burning diesel fuel for 14 years.
Oh, I see the problem. They're burning the wrong thing.
I'm struggling to come up with a reason why the designer wouldn't slap a couple of power hookups to the thing so you could plug it into a marina while docked. Like obviously porky isn't giving that any thought, but the people he's paying to build the yacht had to at some point right?
maybe docking is more expensive than anchoring and popping off for a shitton of gas now and then?
it's really not marina space is far cheaper than diesel. Anyway the rich normally consider being docked in expensive marinas to be part of the status of the boat
Go for a swim with a hand drill.
The ecological effect of sinking this would be offset by the longterm reduction in pollution it creates anyway.
It's probably a steel hull. The easiest way to sink it would probably be to break some through-hull connections below the waterline. Not much you can do from outside other than perhaps plugging the bilge pump's output.
Or you could wait till a big storm and cut the docklines.
The hunger increasingly consumes my thoughts, and I fear it cannot be sated but with the flesh of the gentry
So the article he is stating that there is a yacht full of unattended valuables?
