All Ukrainian seaports have ceased operations as a result of the Russian invasion at the end of February. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that Ukraine was unable to operate due to the Russian...

marineforum.online has already reported on how interested people are - often gleefully - in the whereabouts of the oligarch yachts. The interest is a hot topic in chat rooms, blogs and on social media around the world. The 19-year-old American Jack Sweeney has now also found a new hobby. He previously fearlessly published the data from Elon Musk's flights in private jets, which is said to have annoyed the capricious Elon terribly. In the course of the Ukraine crisis, the young man tracked the flights of Russian oligarchs. This spotting is a hobby of many, just take a look at Flugradar24.eu. His new hobby is dedicated to the superyachts of the...
