Roman Abramovich unable to dock his ‘Eclipse’ yacht as it is too big
August 25th, 2011 - 12:53 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattLondon, Aug 24 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich is not a happy man these days as his yacht named Eclipse is apparently too big to dock at the Millionaire’s quay. His luxury yacht - Eclipse is 176 meters long and the quay doesn’t have such a big space to host it. In fact the officials told the Russian billionaire that they had a place where he could have docked his yacht but apparently that space is not free at the moment as it is occupied by another luxury yacht, which is owned by the Saudi Sheikh Prince Aziz al Saud.
So now the 300 millions pounds worth yacht has to languish out in the sea, which is quite some distance away from Roman’s beach front abode.
Eclipse holds the record as the world’s largest private yacht and it has numerous facilities on board like a missile detection system, saloon and spa services, a swimming pool and even a mini-submarine on board. Apart from that it also boasts of not one but two helipads as well. Since Roman is very cautious about his security so all the windows on the yacht are bullet-proof as well.
