“The rich gazed at their superyachts, and decided they were not enough. The new breed of megayachts, which are at least 70 metres (230ft) in length, may be the most expensive moveable assets ever created.”
“First and foremost, owning a megayacht is the most polluting activity a single person can possibly engage in. Abramovich’s yachts emit more than 22,000 tonnes of carbon every year, which is more than some small countries. Even flying long-haul every day of the year, or air-conditioning a sprawling palace, would not get close to those emissions levels.
The bulk of these emissions happen whether or not a yacht actually travels anywhere. Simply owning one – or indeed building one – is an act of enormous climate vandalism.”
Probably not a lot of valuable cargo on board.
The whole thing is valuable cargo
Probably pretty hard to fence a yacht though
Probably a lot of very nice and expensive things on a yacht though
For sure but probably also security personnel, alarms, quick response by law enforcement, etc.
Well not in the middle of the ocean … 🙂
