As Roman Abramovich sank shipyard Blohm + Voss
seems that the construction of the largest yacht, Eclipse, the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich ruined German shipyard Blohm + Voss. In February, we told you that the actual costs for the construction of 162, 5-meter boat made almost no three times more than was written into the contract. And this shortage shipbuilders had to cover out of pocket, as Russian oligarch refused to pay the agreed excess. For some time it was rumored that Blohm + Voss of despair will sell its bitterest rival, Lürssen Yachts. But recently, the parent company ThyssenKrupp announced the transfer of the shipyard British investment fund Star Capital Partners for a modest $ 199 million. About a quarter of the cost of the Eclipse.
