As announced at the beginning of July, Nobiskrug has signed a contract with Cecil Wright for the construction of an 80-metre superyacht.

Oligarch yachts: Expensive fun

Modern merchant shipping is increasingly using container ships with capacities of more than 10,000 containers per ship.

Compared to military shipping, the crew of 22 seafarers is small and...
