Boatfag Update Report
On The Scope:
Yacht Tracking SitRep
LIMITLESS continues to show in port in Newport, RI. No current track available on PUFFY. These vessels are suspected of being made available for Ray Chandler if she’s in the New England area and wanting to skip town after the arrest of Jizzlaine Maxwell.
Pic #1 related - Gotcha, fucker! AZZAM just pulled into port in Barcelona, Spain as of late July 4th. This is one of the al-Nayhan boys from the UAE. ‘’They’re notoriously hard to track.’’ The head Al-Nayhan (he’s a Sheikh, but doesn’t come with fries or a burger) made notables a day or so ago. The other al-Nasty kids have yachts M/Y YAS and TOPAZ, which are still off-scope and have been for the last 6 months. Really hoping one of the Teams deep-6’d these fuckers. If they aren’t human trafficking platforms, I’ll eat my white hat.
Pic #2 related – yacht ULYSSES is underway in the Adriatic, heading south-ish through the islands along Montenegro and Croatia. That’s NZ billionaire Graeme Hart’s boat. That area is a well-known trafficking area for kids from the Caucasus/Southern Europe area.
Jeff Bezos’ yacht FLYING FOX is in port in La Ciotat, France, about halfway between Marseilles and Toulon. Due north about 20 miles or so is Aubagne, which is a base and retirement home for the French Foreign Legion. Be nice if some of those old guys could meander on down and show they still have their basic skills.
Nat Rothschild’s yacht PLANET NINE is anchored off the Italian island of Panarea, a small island about 30nm NW of Messina, Sicily. The boat is anchored off Punta Torrione on the SE coast of the island. Pricy land; guess is that this is a “watch me blow $10 million” week long vacation rental for some asshole.
Spielberg’s boat, the SEVEN SEAS, is in Antibes, France. It’s been there for a number of days and probably also doing vacation rental duty.
South China Sea
Monitoring traffic, but nothing noted except that there is less traffic to be seen in and around the Paracel Islands exclusion zone on vessel finder and marine traffic. Considering that they have not been in the news lately, it seems their saber-rattling is aimed more at causing regional discomfort to their neighbors than getting in the face of the US. Three carriers in the region might do that.
US Navy Ports (East and West Coast US, plus Pearl Harbor)
Pic#3 Related – USNS SUPPLY is still hanging around OBX off Kitty Hawk right now, and it’s July 5th. To POTUS: Boss, have these guys done something to piss you off? Please let these shipmates pull into port and enjoy some time off with their families – they have busted ass for a few months straight. Thanks for your consideration.
Petroleum Shipments Under Sanction
BF’s are currently observing tankers BERING, BELLA, PANDI and LUNA, all Liberian-flag vessels, for suspected shipments of sanctioned fuel from Iran to Venezuela or Cuba. The tracks are all at least 10 days to 2 months old; no hits yet, but we’re keeping them under watch.
Nothing further to report.
