Milan, 28 April (LaPresse) – A large, luxury yacht linked to a close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin has passed through the Strait of Hormuz despite the ongoing blockade imposed by Iran. The 142-metre-long vessel ‘Nord’ is attributed to Alexei Mordashov, a Russian billionaire subject to sanctions. The ship, flying the Russian flag, left Dubai on Friday evening and arrived at Al Moj, a marina in the capital of Oman, on Sunday morning. It was one of the few private vessels to have crossed the strait in recent months. This is reported by BBC Persian. Mordashov is not officially listed as the owner of the vessel, but the Nord’s records show that the ship was registered in 2022 in the name of a company owned by his wife. The yacht is estimated to be worth over $500 million.
