A luxury yacht belonging to sanctioned Russian oligarch Alexey Mordashov departed Hong Kong waters on Thursday heading for the South African port of Cape Town, according to private tracking site MarineTraffic
The prominent sight of the 465 foot multi-deck Nord in the city’s Victoria harbor in recent weeks had sparked criticism from the US State Department, which questioned the “transparency” of the financial hub and warned of reputational risks. Mordashov, a billionaire close to President Vladimir Putin, was among a number of Russians sanctioned by the United States and European Union – but not the United Nations – after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for their links to Putin.
The Hong Kong Marine Department later confirmed that the Nord had departed Hong Kong on Thursday but said it could not comment further. The MarineTraffic site put the vessel southeast of Hong Kong waters early on Thursday evening, heading into the South China Sea. A witness saw a fuel barge alongside the vessel inside the harbor at noon. Hong Kong’s leader John Lee said on Oct. 11 the city’s authorities would not act on unilateral sanctions imposed on Mordashov by individual jurisdictions.
