- bell-cot 4y agoKudos for your big improvement on Bloomberg's headline - "Seizing a Russian Superyacht Is Much More Complicated Than You Think". Nobody young & naive enough to think that either a superyacht, or international legal seizure, is non-complicated should be reading Bloomberg without adult supervision. Sadly, Bloomberg can't be bothered to give any larger perspective on either high-maintenance things seized from the wealthy, nor long-term ship maintenance. Dealing with pet lions, crumbling mansions, etc. has been an issue for moneylenders to the wealthy for centuries. And 'most anyone who's owned a (say) 25-foot-long "yacht" knows that moving it from salt water to dry storage can really cut down the man-hours of maintenance needed. (Yes, we know your uncle Bob can't just pull a 250-foot yacht out of the water at a boat ramp with his pride-and-joy pickup truck. Real marine engineering is a bit more advanced than that.)
