Hybrid flying luxury yacht.

Designed by two experienced engineers, Guillaume Hoddé and Matthieu Ozanne, who share a passion for flying, AirYacht’s hybrid vehicle combines flying and sailing. French yacht designer Franck Darnet designed the vehicle. The AirYacht consists of two parts: a helium-filled airship, and a streamlined luxury yacht that is coupled under the airship. When in flight, the yacht serves as the airship’s gondola, housing the crew. To cruise on the sea, the yacht is lowered down on a set of cables, then released once it reaches the water’s surface. The process is reversed when it comes time to attach the yacht back to the airship. AirYacht will use the largest rigid airship to come on Earth as a flying vector, with a length of 200 meters and a height of 50 meters.…

BOATING IS NZ’S FAVOURITE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY

The report extremely detailed report shows that Kiwi’s love their boating and despite all the odds such as Covid-19 and now increasing interest rates, boats and boating products are in strong demand and reaching records heights. The report says that 40% (1.9 million) of the population participate in boating annually and the nation’s fleet growing by an estimated 44,810 vessels per year. The stats say that the marine industry is a $2.9 billion dollar business, with more than 1,540,000 boats in New Zealand, and growing. “The marine industry is New Zealand’s largest non-agricultural, manufacturing industry,” says NZ Marine CEO, Peter Busfield. “It’s an industry built on high tech design, industry-led training and passionate people.” The survey results show substantial growth for the New Zealand marine industry-taking the total turnover from…

SO WHERE TO, FROM HERE?

It will be interesting to see what the next 30 years bring, particularly in the power options, which for many years have been predominantly petrol or diesel. But now, alternatives are launching into the market, such as hybrid, electric, solar, and hydrogen. Every week we hear a report of another electric outboard entering the market or breaking a distance or speed record. Recently an electric outboard broke the 100 mph barrier. 109mph by the Vision Marine Tech’s Hellcat, to be exact. Another option while our traditional diesel and petrol powered engines, both outboards and inboards, are becoming more efficient, lighter and more compact. In boat design and building, systems and materials are also moving forward, enabling boat builders and designers to produce stronger, lighter, and, as a result, more efficient…

READY FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE

Having caught up with many of my old colleagues at the Hutchwilco Boat Show in May of this year, I realised that I have been working in the marine industry for the past 50 years. I found it fascinating that many of my colleagues are still in the same industry. Many are doing the same jobs, all be it with smarter technology. For my part, leaving school with no school certificate and going straight into a four-year sailmaking and upholstery apprenticeship at Shore Sails and covers stood me in good stead for the future. The fact is that we never stop not learning. On the sailmaking side, after building a 28ft Bruce Farr design keeler, Titus Canby, I migrated to windsurfer rigs in the early days working with Graham Allen…

PARTY CENTRAL

While the Bennington would have to be the ultimate party boat, it is based on a complex and super efficient hull that is nothing like Kiwis have seen from local builders. Underneath the vast platform are three individual hulls, which are refered to in the pontoon boat market as Tritoon. Compared to a twin hull, the third tube makes a big difference in the performance and ideal use for the boat. This third hull helps keep the boat stable, allows for quicker speeds, and makes the boat better equipped for choppy water. The 25 QSM is all about entertaining. The Q Model offers up a vast array of interior and exterior colours to compliment your style. The distinct rounded bow fence not only delivers an elegant visual cue, it also…

TRADITIONAL LINES

Island Gypsy 500 is a natural progression following on from the popular 400 and 460 models. combining all the luxury and practicality of the brand on a grand scale. Offering twin cabins including a master ensuite, plus all the luxurious appointments associated with the Island Gypsy brand.

Conceived in collaboration with Lobanov Design Studio, BMT Nigel Gee and the interior designer Achille Salvagni. “Our Tuhura is a simple idea,” explained designer Igor Lobanov, “The thought was to take a natural shape similar to those seen in the earliest canoe-type craft and augment it multifold to a larger scale, using modern technology.” The main inspiration for the interior design is East Asia and the Pacific islands. Achille Salvagni refers to the interior as a “brushed teak habitat” including thin reveals in gunmetal and natural bronze with tatami floors. ‘Tuhura’ is derived from the Maori verb meaning: to discover, bring to light, unearth, open up, explore, and investigate. “Our Tuhura is a simple idea,” explains Igor Lobanov, “The thought was to take a natural shape similar to those seen…

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES LAURIE

I had a phone call one day around 13 years ago. In fact, from a guy who had purchased a Nordhavn 46 and was planning to cruise the Med with his wife. Would I be interested in a story? Of course, I said yes, as I like stories about the Kiwi can do attitude. Kiwi’s out there doing it. I admit I was a little jealous as cruising around the Med sounded idyllic. That guy was Laurie Cranfield, who, with his wife, Diane, would spend the next seven years exploring just about every corner of the Med. What started in the March 2010 issue of Pacific MotorYacht as one or two articles stretched out to an ongoing series that lasted for over eight years and more than 75 episodes. The…

WHAT A CRAZY TIME

Mind you, we did hear this 24 months ago when it was suggested that COVID (through the same mainstream media) would launch us into the worst economic recession ever seen in our lifetime. Buckle in, they said. To then, for the marine industry anyway, experience one of the most positive, buoyant marine markets I have seen in my 35-year stretch working in the marine industry. According to recently released statistics, with 40% of the population boating annually and the nation’s fleet growing by an estimated 44,810 vessels per year, boating in New Zealand has reached new heights. The New Zealand marine industry is on a roll. Boating is New Zealand’s largest recreational activity, with 1.9 million, or 40 per cent of New Zealand’s population, participating in boating each year. However,…

DEAN LEIGH-SMITH PASSES

Australian marine industry stalwart, Dean Leigh Smith passed away recently. Along with brother Ryan he operated the very successful Leith-Smith Yachts brokerage based in Sanctuary Cove, Gold Coast. A vibrant and very active participant in the Australian marine industry, Dean followed the ethos of offering a good old fashioned service, coupled to his vast product knowledge. The Leigh-Smith family has been selling boats in Australia for over five decades with brothers Dean & Ryan Leigh-Smith drawing on their earlier generations passion, values and experiences. The renowned Gold Coast City Marina, was designed, built run and 50% owned by the Leigh-Smith Family until 2014. The GCCM served as a 17yr apprenticeship for Dean & Ryan Leigh-Smith establishing an in-depth knowledge of the marine industry. Another achievement was the Gold Coast Marine…

FROM LAND TO SEA IN SECONDS

Recognised at the Waikato Business Awards, the FC 700HTA joins its sister ship the FC 700 Centre Console Amphibioius (FC700CCA) as part of the new FC Venture range. FC’s unique features are at the forefront of design, with qualities that customers will appreciate. The FC 700HTA features FC’s extended gunnels, a passive live bait tank, plus FC’s dual positive buoyancy system. At the heart of the amphibious craft though is the Anura Amphibious System. Boasting continuous run time as opposed to other electric systems, and built for even the harshest terrain, the FC 700HTA gives the user greater freedom both on land & sea. Featuring a Mercury 250 V8, Minn Kota Ulterra, Zipwake trim tabs and Seadek flooring, comfort at sea has been carefully considered. Inside, the FC 700HTA boasts…

CUSTOM BUILD

Striking in its refined green exterior paint finish, the boat offers a dedicated master suite forward plus a midship guest cabin for ad ditional comfort and privacy on liveaboard cruises. Increased use of wood-finish laminates adds even more class to the bathroom and bedroom spaces. Subtle changes to the saloon are tailor-made to its owner’s specific requirements. The Dickey Semifly 36 offers supreme fuel economy via a Volvo D6-440 sterndrive with efficient lithium batteries supplying the house systems, including an induction cooktop. The Dickey Semifly 36 is one of five models in the Semifly range and certainly one of the most popular. Bridging the gap elegantly between the highly capable Semifly 32 and the flagship Semifly 45, the completely redesigned Semifly 36 delivers in every way. Space, pace, ride and…

Israel wages war on Hamas

US sues Apple

September 13, 2023 Russia-Ukraine news

By Jessie Yeung , Andrew Raine , Rob Picheta , Aditi Sangal , Elise Hammond , Maureen Chowdhury and Tori B. Powell , CNN

Russia says it destroyed 3 unmanned Ukrainian boats in Black Sea

From CNN's Mariya Knight

The Russian defense ministry said it destroyed three Ukrainian unmanned boats in the Black Sea on Wednesday. 

The news comes after Ukraine launched an extensive missile attack on the Sevastopol shipyard in occupied Crimea in the early hours of Wednesday. 

The ministry claimed air defense forces shot down seven cruise missiles, and that the patrol ship Vasily Bykov destroyed all the unmanned boats. But the ministry acknowledged that “two ships under repair were damaged by enemy cruise missiles.” 

The vessels will be fully repaired, the ministry added.

US says it "will not hesitate" to impose sanctions if weapons are transferred between North Korea and Russia

From CNN's Michael Conte and Jennifer Hansler

The United States “will not hesitate to impose sanctions” if the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un results in weapons transfers between the two countries, the US State Department said.

“We have taken a number of actions already to sanction entities that have brokered arms sales between North Korea and Russia, and we won't hesitate to impose additional actions if appropriate,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said Wednesday.

Ahead of the Putin-Kim summit, US officials warned that Russia and North Korea are “actively advancing” in a potential arms deal that could see Pyongyang provide weapons for Moscow to use in its faltering Ukraine war in exchange for sanctioned ballistic missile technology.

Miller said that the US has not raised the issue of Russia potentially providing nuclear technology to North Korea with China, but that he anticipated they would.

“Secretary Blinken raised North Korea's nuclear program and North Korea's ballistic missile program in his engagements with Chinese officials when we were in Beijing, and we've regularly raised that in our conversations with Chinese officials,” Miller said.

Miller also condemned North Korea’s overnight ballistic missile launches.

Russia shows desperation by engaging with North Korea, US ambassador to UN says

From CNN's Richard Roth

The US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said on Wednesday that Moscow's engagement with North Korea "shows how desperate Russia is."  

Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sat down for talks on Wednesday at Russia's Vostochny Cosmodrome space center. 

Putin signaled willingness to assist North Korea in developing its space and satellite program Wednesday, as he gave Kim Jong Un a tour of Russia’s vast  Vostochny space launch site  ahead of their  expected arms talks . When asked by a reporter whether Russia would help North Korea launch its own satellites and rockets, Putin responded: “That’s exactly why we came here.”

Remember: US officials have warned North Korea it will “pay a price” if it strikes an arms deal with Russia, after saying that negotiations were “advancing” between the two nations.

If Pyongyang provides weapons to Moscow to use in the war against Ukraine, it is “not going to reflect well on North Korea and they will pay a price for this in the international community,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told a news briefing on Tuesday.

Ukraine calls for tougher sanctions after reports Russia has increased missile output

From CNN's Tim Lister

Ukraine said that sanctions against Russia must be tougher and more sophisticated, after new reporting that Russia is evading international restrictions and increasing its missile production.

Andriy Yermak, head of the Office of the President, said on Telegram: “The more powerful the sanctions, the fewer missiles Russia will produce….If the Western media notice an increase in missile production, it means that sanctions need to be tougher and more sophisticated.”

Yermak was responding to a New York Times report that Russia has managed to overcome sanctions and export controls imposed by the West to expand its missile production beyond pre-war levels, citing US, European and Ukrainian officials. 

The NYT reported that “Russia subverted American export controls using its intelligence services and ministry of defense to run illicit networks of people who smuggle key components by exporting them to other countries from which they can be shipped to Russia more easily.”

Yermak said that a special group appointed by the Ukrainian government had “provided detailed proposals to our partners, as well as evidence of foreign components in Russian weapons. The enemy's military-industrial complex cannot produce missiles without these components.”

“We are working with the governments of our partners. We need to actively cut off oxygen to the Russians,” he added.

The Yermak-McFaul International Working Group last month made recommendations to tighten control over foreign-made components used by Russia in its unmanned aerial vehicle program.

China is the main supplier of critical components for Russian drones, accounting for 67% of shipments, with 17% of them going through Hong Kong, the group reported.

The group called for better international harmonization of sanctions lists and the unification of data on dual-use goods that can be used in both military and civilian applications.

Ukrainian air force commander says dozens of Russian drones were shot down Tuesday night

From CNN's Olga Voitovych

Ukraine’s air force commander, Mykola Oleshchuk, said more than three dozen Russian attack drones were shot down in the country on Tuesday night.

Oleshchuk said that the accuracy and percentage success of mobile fire groups was constantly improving, meaning that the Ukrainian air force was not wasting scarce anti-aircraft guided missiles on "Shaheds" but saving them for Russian airplanes, helicopters and cruise missiles.

Earlier Tuesday, the head of Odesa region military administration said at least seven people were injured in a Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian regions of Odesa and Sumy overnight into Wednesday.

The Ukrainian Air Force said out of a total of 44 Shahed-136/131 drones launched towards Ukraine, 32 were destroyed. The Air Force said the attacks were launched from the Russian town Primorsko-Akhtarsk and Kursk and Chauda in Russian-occupied Crimea.

Russian court will consider arrest appeal of Wall Street Journal reporter next Tuesday, according to state media

From CNN’s Anna Chernova

Russia’s Moscow City Court will consider an appeal against the decision to extend the arrest of The Wall Street Journal reporter, Evan Gershkovich , next Tuesday, Russian state media reported on Wednesday. 

“The hearing on the appeal of Gershkovich’s defense against the decision of [the court of] the first instance to extend the period of his detention is scheduled for 14:00 Moscow time on September 19,” TASS said, citing the court’s press service.

The hearing will be held behind closed doors, as the case contains classified materials, according to TASS.

In August, a Moscow court extended the pre-trial detention of Gershkovich, who had been arrested on espionage charges, by three months until November 30 – a decision which the defense filed an appeal against.

More about the case: Gershkovich  has been detained in Russia since March following his arrest on charges that he, the WSJ, and the US government vehemently deny.

His arrest was the first detention of an American reporter in Russia on allegations of spying since the Cold War, rattling White House officials and further straining ties between Moscow and Washington.

The US State Department has officially designated Gershkovich as wrongfully detained in Russia. US President Joe Biden has also been blunt about Gershkovich’s arrest, urging Russia to “let him go.”

Russia says ships damaged by Ukrainian missile attack in Sevastopol will be restored

The two naval vessels which were damaged by a Ukrainian missile attack on a Sevastopol shipyard in the early hours of Wednesday, will be fully restored, the Russian Defense Ministry said on its Telegram channel.

The ministry did not name the vessels, but said that the ships that were undergoing scheduled repairs at the shipyard, “will be fully restored and will continue their combat service as part of their fleets.”

Remember: A prominent Russian military blogger had said that the  attack on the Sevastopol shipyard  overnight was carried out by the Ukrainian Air Force, which launched 10 Storm Shadow cruise missiles  at the facility. 

The blogger, Rybar, said the missiles were launched from Su-24M aircraft over the Black Sea. Rybar said air defenses, including a Pantsir-S1, had brought down seven missiles, but added that “unfortunately, three Storm Shadow missiles reached their target: the landing ship Minsk and the submarine Rostov-on-Don, which were in dry dock, received varying degrees of damage.”

The Rostov-on-Don is a relatively modern Kilo-class submarine capable of carrying Kalibr cruise missiles. CNN could not independently verify the extent of damage done to any vessel.

“After a long break, cruise missile attacks on Crimea have resumed,” Rybar said. “With a very high degree of probability, raids will continue in the coming days (and not only in Sevastopol)

7 Major Ports in Russia

As the largest of all the landmasses in the entire world, Russia has an extensive coastline. It features on the periphery of the Arctic Ocean surrounding its entire North for trading prospects. The Barents Sea, with the South-Eastern side touching the Sea of Japan encompasses the major ports in Russia.

60% of the total cargo movement on the international scale for Russia takes place through the sea. This includes almost 722 million MT (2016) cargo movement through international vessel calls.

A staggering 67 thousand plus ship calls come through this busy network every year. However, the modern handling facilities ensure that the median handling time for these ships remains 1.45 days. This means the port facilities under the Russian Government’s reach are the best in the business!

As a shipping nation, the Russian seafarers are plenty in number across the globe. The country’s shipping strength boasts over 2820 vessel registrations and 98,000 seafarers under them.

Major Ports Of Russia

In this article, we review the major ports in Russia of inland and international importance. We highlight their share in building the 571 496 million current US$ shipping market in the country. The details also contain their accurate location, identity code, and other geographical information.

1. Port of Novorossiysk (Krasnodar Krai, Russia)

UN/Locode: RUNVS Latitude: 44.720065° Longitude: 37.81373°

The port of Novorossiysk has a 3.4 sq. km harbour area with a land area worth 2.7 sq. km. This includes a total of 89 functioning berths for vessels of all sizes. It features as the biggest seagoing port for Russia for over decades with almost 50% higher turnover.

The establishment of the port of Novorossiysk dates back to 1829, with major exchanges since 1846. The port’s range of services recorded 143 million MT of cargo handling for 2020. It includes one of the first Timber wood handling facilities to feature across the Black Sea ports.

Cargo Handling

A total of 11 berths are important in handling timber and other bulk cargo. 4 separate berths over a quay length of 570 meters handle the container operations. The sheer size of the facility allows maximum handling limits of 208 million MT every year.

Network and Layout

The timber operations across the 4 berths (31, 32, 31/A, 31/5) are the most advanced facility across Europe. Their throughput every year crosses figures between 400 thousand to 600 thousand.

This connects with direct railway and loading facilities, reaching out to 70% of timber industries. Meanwhile, 180 thousand and more TEU capacity of container handling adds to the port’s large-scale profits.

2. Port of Saint Petersburg (St. Petersburg, Russia)

UN/Locode: RULED Latitude: 59.91933° Longitude: 30.327035°

The Port of Saint Petersburg has one of the deepest drafts for any Russian facility. The inner anchorage ranges between 23 to 25 meters while the channel draft is approx. 18.5 to 23 meters.

As one of the major ports in Russia, its water area spreads over an expanse of 164 sq. km. Meanwhile, the beginning of its establishment dates back to 1869. At present, the facility uses 470 vessels for in-house operations along their coast.

The passenger terminal at St. Petersburg handles over 450 vessels annually. This happens over a dozen of berths, with 2 major terminals having the alongside the extent of 360 meters.

The total mooring size capacity of this facility is over 30 kilometres. This includes the working capacity of more than 200 berths of various sizes in this facility.

St. Petersburg famously works with 8 major cranes of Panamax capacity. This couples with 3 RMG and 20 gantry nature cranes for handling container goods. This rounds off to the port’s annual handling figures to well over 2 million every year.

The facility connects with major cargo shipping destinations through 2 dozen operating lines. It acts as the major gateway for providing shipping access to the Russian interiors. The neighbouring ports like Rotterdam, Bremerhaven, etc. act as the feeder terminals for the super container ships .

Over 122 tugs and 3 dozen oil barges are resident for berthing and bunkering operations. The rail line operates through the container segment of the port, handling container transport.

3. Port of Ust-Luga (Kingiseppsky District, Russia)

UN/Locode: RUULU Latitude: 59.68294° Longitude: 28.329515°

The port of Ust-Luga stands only behind Novorossiysk in terms of cargo handling volume for 2020. It has the biggest handling facility for coal bulk operations in the Northern part of Russia. The additional expansion plans provide this facility with a total area of 30 sq. km.
