Chapter 827: Upstream



In terms of length, this yacht can only barely be classified as a super yacht. After all, it is only 147 feet long, or about 45 meters. Compared with those super yachts that are hundreds of meters long, it can really only be regarded as a little sister.

However, this yacht, carefully built by the Royal Van Rent Shipyard of the Netherlands, is extremely luxurious.

This yacht is actually an improved version of the Feadship F45 series yachts. Although the length is the same as the F45, other aspects are far superior to the F45 series yachts.

Only when Yang Jing boarded the yacht under the guidance of the reception staff could he truly feel the luxury of the yacht.

This yacht is more than one-third smaller than the 246-foot superyacht Australian Style that he rented from Australian mining tycoon Andrew Fortelis when he visited Papua New Guinea last year, but this "little sister" is no worse than the Australian Style in other aspects.

The yacht has three floors, two of which are above the deck. There is also a small helicopter pad on the top deck, which carries a latest Robinson R66 five-seater light helicopter.

As for the interior decoration, there is no need to mention it. An oil tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars will definitely not be stingy when it comes to his yacht. Although this yacht is a bit small in size, the interior decoration is definitely not worse than other super yachts.

Because of the modification, the speed of this super yacht is much faster than the original F45 series yacht. The original maximum speed of the F45 series yacht was only 14.5 knots, but after the modification, the Siberian Endeavour can easily reach a maximum speed of 22 knots.

This speed is not even suitable for sailing in inland rivers. Only on the sea can this beautiful "little sister" run at top speed.

In addition to the owner's exclusive cabin, the yacht is also equipped with four double suites, which can accommodate up to ten guests. At first, Alekperov planned to send two pilots down and let Chris and others drive the boat, but Yang Jing did not do so.

Not to mention that Chris and the others would take turns on duty on the ship. Even if they were not on duty, they could just squeeze in a little or sleep on the floor.

Thus, the ship was still under the control of Alekperov's personal captain Victor Ivan.

The supplies on the ship had already been replenished, and they were waiting for the arrival of Yang Jing and his group.

Captain Ivan was also very respectful to Yang Jing. After all, the fact that his boss could lend him the ship was enough to prove the young man's status in his boss's mind. Ivan was just an experienced private captain, and he dared not neglect his boss's distinguished guest.

Not long after Yang Jing and his group got on the boat, Captain Ivan blew the whistle after seeking Yang Jing's consent. Then, this super yacht, which stood out from the crowd, slowly left the yacht dock under the gaze of many people. After sailing out of the river bay at the entrance in front and turning 180 degrees, it began to slowly accelerate and go upstream along the Irtysh River.

Although the night temperature in Omsk in early October has dropped below zero, the river water will not freeze. The waterway in the middle and upper reaches of the Irtysh River will not be completely closed to navigation until the end of October, and the closure will continue until May of the following year.

At this time, there were still many ships on the Irtysh River, especially in this section of the river, which was wide and deep, and thousand-ton ships were everywhere in the river.

In fact, during the Soviet era, the Irtysh River was a very important inland waterway in the Siberia region of the former Soviet Union. At that time, the five Central Asian countries had not yet separated from the Soviet Union. In addition to railways, this important waterway was the only means of cargo transportation between the Kazakhstan Soviet Socialist Republic and Russia.

At that time, the annual transportation volume through this waterway could exceed 1.5 million tons, which was enough to prove the importance of this waterway. Today, shipping between Russia and Kazakhstan is still very developed. The Irtysh River undertakes up to 2 million tons of transportation tasks in the only five months of navigation each year.

Now, various inland transport ships coming and going in the river are taking advantage of the more than 20 days before the waterway is completely closed to navigation to step up the transportation of various materials, while also silently proving to people the importance of this waterway.
