Watch Saudi prince’s $80M superyacht resurface after capsizing in Greek port

THE $80 million yacht of Prince Turki bin Mohamed bin Fahd Al Saud is back in action after capsizing in a Greek port while undergoing maintenance.

Video shows the 24-hour operation that went into resurfacing the luxury yacht, which lasted all through the night and involved scuba divers, hydraulic pumps and a lot of manpower.

The Nourah of Riyad capsized on March 8 while being hauled out for maintenance.

It was when it was lifted out of the water for anti-fouling work that things went awry and sent the boat crashing into the water.

There were 12 individuals who were on the vessel at that time, but all 12 were able to safely make their way off the yacht without sustaining any injuries.

One week later, the yacht was back up and in action however thanks to workers at the Megatechnica shipyard .

Scuba divers can be seen jumping into the water to assist with tilting the boat, and hydraulic pumps and large floats are also used to aid in the project.

It took a long 24 hours, but in the end the vessel was back in action and seen being ferried off to another port.

The yacht was purchased in 2008 by Prince Mohammed bin Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who later gifted the vessel to his oldest son when he paid $110 million for THE Montkaj.

Nourah of Riyad can accommodate 18 guests overnight in 11 cabins: a master suite, a VIP stateroom, two double cabins and six twin cabins.

There is also room for a crew of 16 who are slept in eight cabins below deck.

A cinema, Jacuzzi, gold-plated fixtures, tender garage and elevator are just a few of the amenities also available to guests on board.

70m Nourah of Riyad capsizes in Greece

The turkish-built superyacht has capsized at a facility in perama, greece….

According to various reports on social media, 70m Nourah of Riyad , delivered at the Turkish shipyard Yay Gemi Yapim in 2008, has capsized at the Megatechnica shipyard in Perma, Greece. Initial reports indicate that there were no injuries or marine pollution as a result of the incident.

According to the Greek news platform News247 , the incident occurred around 12 o’clock on Sunday and was reportedly caused when the 70m superyacht was being lifted out of the water for anti-fouling works. Nourah of Riyad is said to have listed around 45-degrees and subsequently partially submerged.

The National Herald , an English-speaking Greek news channel, further reports that damage has been caused to the facilities of a neighbouring shipyard and some equipment on board the tourist boat Lamadin , which was also in the vicinity. 

SuperyachtNews contacted Megatechnica via telephone, but a shipyard representative refused to comment.

Saudi Prince’s $72m Superyacht Capsizes in Greece

A Saudi Prince’s Yacht, worth $72 MILLION, partially sank after capsizing in Greece.

The 230ft Nourah of Riyad, owned by Prince Turki bin Mohammed bin Fahd Al Saud capsized as it was being lifted out of the water last week for repairs to her hull. Something went wrong and she capsized starboard,

The Saudi Prince’s yacht now sits at a 45 degree angle after becoming partially submerged. There were no reports of injuries after the accident.

The Superyacht boasts 11 cabins for guests including a VIP stateroom and a Master Suite. It weights over 1400 tons and features a jacuzzi and a theater with seating for 9 on board.

A neighboring boat was damaged along with equipment at the shipyard (Perama Athens).

The Donald Starkey designed yacht was built by Yachtley in Turkey in 2008. In 2012 the Nourah of Riyad was refitted at  Yachtley . She had a 5 meter extension with a swimming platform and beach club added on.

Certainly the prince will be insured and will have a new yacht built promptly. Prince Turki bin Mohammed bin Fahd Al Saud has a net worth exceeding $1 billion.

Prince Turki Bin Mohammed bin Fahd Al Saud is the son of Prince Muhammed bin Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud . His father owns another superyacht named the Montkaj and a $300+ million Boeing 777. The 256 ft Montkaj was designed by Terence Disdale and built in the Amels Shipyard.

One of many Saudi Superyachts

The Saudi Royal Family owns a variety of ultra expensive superyachts. The most famous of which is the Serene, bought after the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman spotted the yacht offshore. He dispatched members of his entourage to purchase the yacht from Vodka Legend Yuri Sheffler. The yacht reportedly cost over $600 million and the Russian left the yacht right after the purchase. Allegedly “Salvator Mundi”  a $450 million dollar Leonardo Da Vinci masterpiece is being kept on board the yacht.

Beau Senior Member

So you guys know big boats. How the heck does something like that "just happen"?

mapism Senior Member

It can and does happen also with much smaller boats. Not sure if the reasons are similar, but based on the above photos alone, the accident in Anacortes of some years ago, upon launch of a brand new Northern Marine 85', definitely springs to mind...

Capt Ralph Senior Member

Where are her anchors? Was this during a refit? Lightered boat then somebody pumped the bilges

OP states "During Haulout on the Slipway".... this would suggest improper mounting on whatever method was being used to get it on the hard.....

Friday, March 20th, 2020

Written by: Marine Industry News

Over a week after the 70m motor yacht Nourah of Riyad capsized near Athens during a haul-out procedure for routine maintenance, local services this week managed to refloat and stabilise the vessel in Perama where the damage will now be assessed. 

The cause of the incident that took place on 8 March 2020 is still unclear but it is known that no marine pollution was reported as a result, neither were any personal injuries. Nourah of Riyad has now been moved to an adjacent dock where investigational and repair work will get underway, according to Superyacht Times .

Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History

Saudi prince’s $79 million yacht capsizes in greece.

Andrew Anglin March 17, 2020

Andrew Anglin Daily Stormer March 17, 2020

Why did we give these sandniggers all of this money and then just let them go buckwild all over the place?

Whose decision was this? The Jews again?

A $79 million superyacht owned by a Saudi prince capsized and partially sunk while it was docked in Greece. The 230ft Nourah of Riyad, owned by Prince Turki bin Mohammed bin Fahd Al Saud, was being lifted out of the water for repairs when it capsized. The luxury liner was at a repair yard, the Megatechnica shipyard in Perama, Athens, when it was turned at a 45-degree angle, becoming partially submerged in the water. The exceptionally expensive accident happened at around midday on Sunday as it was undergoing anti-fouling works. The yacht’s crew and workers are said to be safe and nobody was injured when it capsized. There was no marine pollution as a result of the incident.

All these Saudis do with this money is:

• Pay white women to be shit on, and
• Go around the world running amok

Why does the world allow this?

What value are these people providing?

What exactly is the argument for not just wiping them out completely, and sending in Germans to run the global oil industry?

No one anywhere is going to try to say, “oh no, these Saudis offer a unique set of skills to the oil industry – the Germans couldn’t handle it.”

So then what is the reason for not going ahead with the plan?

Because it would be mean?

Couldn’t we just do it in some way that was painless?

Like with magnetic pulse of some kind? Just wipe the entire area clean of life? There are no dogs there anyway, Arabs are afraid of dogs. There might be some cats, and hey – I feel bad about that. But look: the world needs to move forward.

Who exactly is preventing this obvious course of action from going ahead?

Yeah, that’s what I thought.
