Roman Abramovich gets anti-pirate raid boat

October 6, 2008

BILLIONAIRE Roman Abramovich is buying a Ј200million yacht with a missile detector — to protect him from pirates.

 

If the Chelsea owner does come under attack, it also has a submarine so he and lover Daria Zhukova, 26, can flee. The 550ft yacht, which will have a crew of 70, is called Eclipse because it overshadows all others. Shipbuilders in Hamburg, Germany, are including twin helipads and a side door which opens in dock to release a fleet of limos. Pals say Russian Abramovich, 41, will be taking no chances if he decides to attend the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Last month Somali pirates seized a Ukranian cargo ship carrying 33 tanks. There were 269 sea attacks last year which left five people dead and nearly 300 taken hostage. Source >>
