    Just checked Marine Traffic on GE and it looks like Oceanco's Seven Seas as well as Odessa and Talisman C are in the port. Also showing up is a cool looking expedition style yacht I have never seen before called Akula...

    "Akula" has been around for a while now. Odd that never passed across your radar screen :)

    Ahh, after a quick Google search MUCH has been learned....it was built by Amels in the Makkum yard....which now I realize is owned by Feadship. In a YouTube video interview with Henk De Vries, he mentions the Makkum yard as one they bought from a competitor in 2005 who was not doing well...I guess that he was referring to Amels....

    It is said that Akula means "shark" in Russian. Make of that what you will.......
