A luxury yacht worth over half a billion US dollars belonging to sanctioned Russian oligarch Alexey Mordashov has docked in Hong Kong waters, according to shipping records, after a week-long voyage from Russia.
Mordashov was among a number of Russian oligarchs sanctioned by the European Union and the United States after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for their links to President Vladimir Putin.
The vessel tracking website, Marine Tracker, showed the yacht, Nord, arrived in Hong Kong on October 5, after a voyage of seven days from Vladivostok in the Russian Far East, down through the Sea of Japan and East China Sea.
