dennis fraser yachts

By SuperyachtNews 20 Oct 2017

In conversation with Dennis Frederiksen

The prudent fraser broker evaluates the brokerage market and discusses the firm's recent sale of 67.5m icon­.….

Fraser has had a very hot streak of large brokerage sales in the past few weeks: the sale of 107m Ulysses , rumoured at the 2017 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), came to fruition; 67.5m Icon was confirmed as sold on the second-last day of the show; and the firm announced this week the sale of the in-build 47m Turquoise Yachts build, Razan .

The former owner (seller) of Icon , who bought the yacht in 2014, and Icon Yachts shipyard, shortly thereafter, re-listed the boat for sale in June 2016, for €62.5 million. Fraser was brought in to assist Camper & Nicholsons International with the sale in January this year, after the boat had received two substantial price reductions.

She eventually sold with a final asking price of €48.5 million – a deal that Dennis Frederiksen, sales broker at Fraser, said was wrapped up within two days. “At her original pricing level, there was simply too much of a gap between buyer and seller expectations,” he explained. “The hope was that there would be one person out there who was very keen to buy her at the higher price, but the market is just not there today.”

Icon is one of the most successful charter yachts in the upper superyacht size-ranges, a sector of the market where the competition is scarce at best. On a good year, she can complete around 25 weeks of charter at her rate of €500,000 per week. However, due to the ownership structure of the yacht, this statistic includes six weeks of owner use, on average.

During a tour of Icon Yachts earlier this year, the yard claimed the boat’s full refit back at the yard in 2014, which included a 5m aft extension, enabling space for a large swimming pool and beach club expansion, improved its charter output by at least 30 per cent.

“Today, we’re having to be much more creative and flexible with our deals and customise each deal around the buyer and seller’s wishes. That’s how we sold Icon."

“Without that extension, the boat would not be what it is today,” continued Frederiksen. “I mean, it was a great boat before, the bones were there, but with today’s craze being beach clubs, swimming pools and a long stern, it really added to the desirability. In the past, people were sat on the top decks.”

Frederiksen said the new owner will operate the boat privately to begin with, but she may reappear for charter again next year. She is about to go to Cyprus for winter, where she will undergo maintenance and personalisation work for the new owner.

In the last couple of years, Frederiksen has had success in this market segment, completing the sales of 56m Annaeva (now AE Cap d’Antibes ), 66m Imagine (now Infinite Shades ) and 67m Aquarius (now Maria ). However, he insists that sellers are still keeping their prices too high, while buyers are going in hard for a bargain.

“Two or three years ago, the market was much harder – the clients were there, but they were dreamers, and even if they got a good price tag, very few were stepping up. I had negotiations on those three boats I just mentioned, where we got good prices and even contracts in place, but people just didn’t follow through. It’s only the last six months or so that we’ve really noticed these negotiations materialising into something.”

The dollar, recording 1.20 (EUR/USD) on 20th September, had made gains on the euro over the course of the week running up to the opening day of the show, on which it recorded 1.17 (27th September). However, during the show and by the close of the final day (30th September) the euro had fought back to 1.18. Frederiksen said it was “unfortunate timing” for yacht buyers, because all of a sudden, the yachts were more expensive for American clients buying in Europe and the market was less predictable.

"Again, it comes down to new ways of thinking and doing business. Getting the yard involved in the transaction made the buyer feel a lot more comfortable.”

Frederiksen acknowledged that the European market is not representing the same strength as the US, but added: “I really haven’t seen the Americans being so active on my listings. They’re enquiring and making quotations for shipping the boats, or doing some refit work, but they’re not following through.”

Offering somewhat of a retrospective of the brokerage market’s evolution, Frederiksen considers the mentality for dealing with clients as the major shift in the marketplace in the past five to eight years. “It’s all dictated by the clients – we have to follow the line of thinking of Ukrainians and Russians, because they’re coming into deals with different attitudes to the Germans, English and Swedish, for example.”

“They’re [Ukrainians and Russians] more aggressive – there is more of a ‘take it or leave it’ attitude. If the seller is not interested in the buyer’s terms, they [the buyers] just say, ‘Fine, we’ll go to the next boat’. So, we’ve had to adapt ourselves. Rather than telling them this is how it’s been done over the past 20 years, we've had to align ourselves with their mentality.”

Frederiksen, who has been at Fraser for 21 years, explained that senior sales brokers are being prompted to adapt more than ever before, due to a proliferation of young, Eastern sales brokers, who can better understand the mentality of Russian clients.

“Today, we’re having to be much more creative and flexible with our deals and customise each deal around the buyer and seller’s wishes. That’s how we sold Icon : during the survey of the boat, there were a few points worth discussing and so we involved the shipyard [Icon Yachts] in the discussion.” 

Frederiksen said the yard’s aptitude to resolve issues on the boat was particularly impressive and a “big factor” in getting the deal over the line. “Again, it comes down to new ways of thinking and doing business. Getting the yard involved in the transaction made the buyer feel a lot more comfortable.”

‘Industry’ Shocked Fans With Its Biggest Twist Yet: What It Means

SPOILER ALERT!

We unpack that jaw-dropping reveal in Episode 5 of “Industry” that has fans’ heads spinning. Here’s everything you need to know.

Louis Staples

Nick Strasburg/HBO

( Warning: Spoilers ahead for Episode 5 of Industry .)

There’s no getting around it: Yasmin Kara-Hanani (Marisa Abela) is the main character of Industry ’s third season. This season of the HBO drama, which follows the drug-fuelled and cut-throat lives of a group of damaged bankers in London, Harper Stern (Myha'la Herrold) takes on a more supporting role. Instead, the central plot-point has been the disappearance of Yasmin’s father—a wealthy publishing magnate who is rumored to have fled his luxury yacht after decades of embezzlement finally caught up with him.

Where is Charles Hanani? At the end of Season 2, we saw him angrily cutting Yasmin off after she challenged him on his inappropriate sexual relationships with younger women. The third season kicked off with Yasmin and Charles briefly reunited. The pair furiously argued aboard his yacht in the Mediterranean, after Yasmin walked in on her father having sex with a (pregnant) stewardess… in her bed. Through various flashbacks, we have learned about their totally messed-up relationship.

Up until Episode 5 , we had been under the impression that Yasmin’s father would resurface at some point. In his absence, we’ve seen Yasmin suddenly stranded without the generational wealth that has propelled much of her life. Her last name was once a power tool, but now it’s toxic. With her father missing, paparazzi have stalked Yasmin’s every move, portraying her as a fun-loving heiress who lives a party lifestyle off daddy’s stolen money.

Marisa Abela and Harry Lawtey

In Episode 5, we learn that a body has been discovered—and that it is likely to belong to Yasmin’s father. What happened to him? The specifics are still unknown, but it wasn’t until the last minute of the episode that Industry’s third season got its biggest twist yet. In bed with Robert Shearling (Harry Lawtey), Yasmin confessed to killing her father.

As Yasmin and Rob—the “Ross and Rachel” of Industry , if they did cocaine in Central Perk—lay in bed hungover, they giggled about the night before, which they both spent at various private member’s clubs. Rob remarked on the similarities between Henry Muck—an old-money billionaire who is currently infatuated with Yasmin, played by Game of Thrones star Kit Harington —and her father, saying: “You’re destined to marry your dad!” Yasmin laughs, and replies: “That would be impossible… because I killed him!”

Rob rolls over in bed, assuming Yasmin is joking, but then the camera focuses on Yasmin’s face and it’s clear that, unbeknownst to him, she has just let the cat out of the bag.

What does this mean? Up until now, we’ve been given small fragments of arguments between Yasmin and her father on the yacht. And we’ve also been given passing references to the fact that her father may have been sexually abusing her. (“I surround myself with these men, I want them to want me!” Yasmin tells Rob in Sunday’s episode. “I even wanted my dad to like me.” When Rob replies that it’s normal to want your dad to like you, she clarifies that she wanted him to like her “presentationally.”)

Now, the danger for Yasmin isn’t just the paparazzi ruining her reputation, or the lawsuits being filed against her by people who were owed money by her father, but the threat that what really happened will come out.

We still don’t know many details about the precise circumstances of Yasmin killing her father. We only know that he disappeared from the yacht where he was last seen. Harper was also on the yacht that day, and was seen in a flashback comforting a crying Yasmin. Does she know? Was she involved ? (That would go some way to explaining the sudden sisterhood between them this season.) Could Harper use the information to blackmail Yasmin, if their relationship once again goes south?

Yasmin’s character arc—the driving force behind the show’s third season—is the most consequential thing about this twist. For the first two seasons, she was portrayed as a posh nepo baby who had glided from a private school to an elite university then a job in finance where, truthfully, people didn't expect much from her. But now, we’re meeting another character: Yasmin the survivor .

As we learn that her upbringing might have actually been very dark indeed, we’re seeing Yasmin’s thirst for survival. She is desperate to not only prove she belongs at Pierpoint, but also that she deserves her place in elite British society, even without her father. You’d be a fool to bet against her.

Below Deck Season 11 was a bit of a reset season. For the first time since the series debuted in 2013, Below Deck had a new captain at the helm. The Daddy of the Sea, Captain Lee Rosbach, was gone and a new Zaddy of the Sea, Captain Kerry Titheradge, the former captain on Below Deck Adventure , was now in charge. With some familiar faces back in action, Below Deck Season 11 had a rocky season at sea , but nevertheless enjoyable!

Below Deck is one of Bravo's biggest franchises. The flagship series has spun off four other series that have spanned the globe. Documenting the crew on board the world's most luxurious motor yachts, Below Deck gives viewers the highs and lows of yachtie life. The eleventh season gave viewers a new captain, a Real Housewife, and drama all over St. David!

10 "The Real Housewives of Grenada"

There have been a few unofficial Bravo crossovers on Below Deck over the course of the franchise. And Season 11 was no different. St. David welcomed The Real Housewives of New York City alum Jill Zarin . And well, she was a hoot and a half. Chef Anthony Iracane is an artist . And as Captain Kerry Titheradge states, creatives may break. And Chef Anthony was on the brink of cracking. Especially with Jill Zarin on board. Chef Anthony has had a rough go over the course of the past few charters and, as much as Chief Stew Fraser Olender wanted to protect his friend, he knew he was on the brink of destruction. He wanted revenge for his mistakes, but this group of charter guests was about to test his limits.

When Captain Kerry reveals that the primary is a former cruise director, the Chief Stew knew it was going to be a difficult journey ahead. As per usual, the preference sheet meeting is crucial for the pending charter. For the primary, she had multiple allergies. She did not eat meat, but she ate seafood. Just not raw seafood. And that would include sushi. This will be a crucial plot point for this adventure. With the other charter guests having so many conflicting preferences, Chef Anthony was stressed. Anyone, with the guests on board, Jill Zarin, someone who had her own luxury yacht in the past, truly believed she was the primary, and treated the crew as such. Those Diet Cokes MUST be frozen. Her room was not prepared with the necessities she needed. Oh, and she'd suggest to Fraser that they have a personal doorbell to summon the stews. It's a bit much. And yet, Ms. Zarin thinks it's perfectly Kosher!

Throughout this charter, Chef Anthony is struggling to keep up with the conflicting preferences that are preventing him from working to the best of his abilities. Between not knowing what to serve to the no meat or fish guest to suggesting lobster for a primary who doesn't eat it to grey burgers, Chef Anthony's stress level was at an all-time high. With Jill stepping over her friend, she requests a meeting with the Chef to ensure the next meal is perfect. Her friend, Melinda Springer , was present. And she will say nothing as Jill hijacks the charter. And what is one of her requests? Sushi. Yep, the Housewife wants sushi, which the primary does not eat. With Jill taking over, the primary's desires are forgotten, and Captain Kerry is infuriated.

9 "Disappointing Daddy"

New year, new love drama. Barbie Pascual was a self-proclaimed daddy's girl. And she keeps reminding viewers of it. She's quite in tune to how she'll be portrayed on screen and what her father might think when he watches. She's extremely nervous about how he'll feel about her romantic intentions with Kyle Stillie , but now's the time to decide. They like each other, but she's so concerned about what her Argentinian father will say. This is a Barbie world she's living in , so everything will revolve around her. Only an episode before, Boson Ben Willoughby broke up with his deckie girl Sunny Marquis . But that's not going to last long at all. Just wait for the crew night out for all that to change.

Chief Stew Fraser Olender knows where the line is when working on a luxury yacht. But that can't stop a little crush! Charter guest Steven is crushing on Fraser. Fraser is crushing back. So, how are they going to handle this situation? There is precedent over on Below Deck Mediterranean . Will he be the next Kyle Viljeon? Well, it is New Year's at midnight, so the fellas are jokingly discussing a midnight smooch. But that's a no-no on a yacht. Fraser will cutely ask Captain Kerry Titheradge about what to do if the charter guest wants a kiss. He says no crew member should have to do that, it's sexual harassment. But Fraser follows up with what if the crew member wants it? Well, that's OK according to Capt. K! Happy New Year indeed to the very single Fraser!

8 "Bit of an Ick"

The episode begins with a late-night food request from the charter guests. With Barbie Pascual having to settle the demands, she enlists late-night deckhand Kyle Stillie to assist. And what happens when you have something to bond over? A romance in the making! They'll continue to develop those feelings during the crew night out. Meanwhile, over on the exterior, Sunny Marquis has been named Lead Deckhand over Dylan Pierre De Villiers . Sunny, whose Boson Ben Willoughby 's boatmance, is more than qualified, but Dylan believes there was an anterior motive. So, Ben had to talk to Dylan, and, let's be honest, that wasn't going to be too productive.

Now, to Chef Anthony Iracane . Sadly, this was the end of the line for the affable chef. With breakfast being a mess thanks to his inability to adhere to the primary preference sheet requests, stew Paris Field is forced, as the messenger, to apologize. And apologize. Now it's time for the beach picnic. And well, Chef Anthony botches this one too. With Chef Anthony and Chief Stew Fraser Olender having to communicate over the radio about the debacle, it alerted Captain Kerry Titheradge to the problems . One of the major requests from one of the guests was a lobster grilled cheese panini. And yet again, Chef Anthony does not have it prepared. So, Barbie has to wake up in the middle of his slumber to make it. With everyone knowing that the entire crew's tips could be compromised because of Chef Anthony's mistakes, it was time to take action. Chef Anthony is officially fired.

7 "Royal Rumble"

As per tradition on Below Deck , the Chief Stew will have at least one stew they will not get along with. For Chief Stew Fraser Olender , it's Barbie Pascual . All season long, the two just couldn't get along. Despite having differing opinions on how to operate the boat, in the end, Fraser is the one in charge and Barbie has to deal with it. At dinner, Barbie will try to make amends with the crew for her bratty behavior, but as stew Xandi Olivier says, "That's the worst toast I've ever heard. I think she made things worse." She sure did! Fraser goes to Captain Kerry Titheradge to share his displeasure over Barbie's immaturity and lack of respect, but Captain Kerry knows that trying to let another stew go is simply not in the cards. So instead, Captain Kerry is giving Fraser a test of strength to improve his leadership skills: dealing with Barbie. At the same time, Captain Kerry has a heart-to-heart with Barbie, hoping to get her to get over the personality conflict. With both interior team members speaking with the captain, Fraser and Barbie agree to call a truce. For now.

With new stew Paris Field on board, she's already causing drama that she has literally nothing to do with. Despite having a loose connection to Fraser, her presence has made Barbie feel inferior and left out, again. Meanwhile, Boson Ben Willoughby has been goo-goo for the new stew, and his boatmance, Sunny Marquis , is quite upset. As she should be. She'll even ice her out to prevent her from getting close to her man. Now, whether it's unfortunate timing or a way to ensure he keeps the girl, Ben decides to appoint a lead deckhand. Will it be the experienced Dylan Pierre De Villiers or his girl Sunny Marquis? He'll go with the latter. Dylan is irrate, especially watching Ben rub Sunny's neck immediately following the announcement. With Dylan complaining, Ben is offended. And Dylan is offended that Ben is offended. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

6 "We'll Always Have Paris"

The next set of charter guests are yet another group that have yacht experience. This time they have their own yacht. This will not be the easiest charter then, right? Time to level up and give them the best. And Chief Stew Fraser Olender is eager to prove his worth. He's used to guests like this. He's got it! The two newest interior hires, stew Paris Field and Chef Nick Tatlock , have not gotten along since they started working together. Chef Nick, who replaced Chef Anthony Iracane , is not the best when it comes to presentation. He's been pushed to improve by both Fraser and Paris, but it's just not sticking. Especially when it comes from Paris. While working with one another for a beach picnic, Chef Nick would refer to Paris as his third favorite stew. Paris is not thrilled with his passive-aggressive attitude, so she puts her foot down. Chef Nick will tattle to Captain Kerry Titheradge . Paris would tattle to Chief Stew Fraser. So now, the two are forced to discuss the mishap on the beach.

It's getting near the end of the charter season and Dylan Pierre De Villiers is feeling it. So he's going to take this charter to flirt with all the pretty girls onboard who are not employees. That's right, he's flirting with the charter guests. He knows that hooking up with a charter guest is a fireable offense, so he'll just tease the girls and play truth and dare. When the dare is to take off his shirt, the deckhand obliges. And then drenches himself in water. This was allegedly so hot and sexy that the primary's daughter DMs Dylan about it. Eek. Good thing the charter is over in a few hours. On the crew night out, Kyle Stillie , the Scotsman, is wearing a kilt. Barbie Pascual is not thrilled about that. But this is the night that she will come to the realization that with Kyle not being Jewish, they will not be able to work out in real life. Once again, family first.

5 "Happy Captain, Happy Life"

The main boat couple is about to hit a bit of a snag. Ben Willoughby is with Sunny Marquis , but he's got some feelings for last season's disaster stew Camille Lamb . He'll post an Instagram story about her, causing Sunny to be irate. And then, because he can't make up his mind about his true feelings, he's going to make up a massive excuse about work and break up with Sunny. But as he says, "If we sleep together, we sleep together. If we don’t, we don’t." Oh, and then he'll go and Facetime her. Oye. Men. Am I right?

Barbie Pascual and Kyle Stillie had sex! Kyle, of course, is thrilled. Barbie is freaking out about daddy. And there is their storyline for the remainder of the season. Since nothing is really a secret on a motoryacht, Chief Stew Fraser Olender and 2nd stew Xandi Olivier will joke about the hookup. Xandi and Fraser, who have a distaste for Barbie, joke about Babie's lack of work ethic and engaging in a sexual act that involves the word job. Now, remember Ben, who is on his high horse? He's going to take it upon himself to scold Barbie about Kyle "being off." Why? Bro code! Barbie is not here for Ben's mansplaining so she throws Sunny in his face. Ben really was trying to make his issue with everyone, as he's projecting his own feelings onto Barbie. But the problem here is, she is mad at Kyle for allegedly talking to Ben about their night together. So now she confronts Kyle about it. It's getting messy!

With Chef Anthony Iracane gone, there's a new chef in town. Chef Nick Tatlock seems like a pretty good guy, though his older demeanor becomes a bit of a sticking point with the younger crew. He's worked in the industry for over two decades, so his experience is there. Captain Kerry Titheradge alerts Chef Nick that he is not here for any galley nonsense. Good luck with that. His first major themed meal is a Christmas festivity, so Chef Nick prepares The Feast of the Seven Fishes , as St. David is decked out for the holidays. It's a successful first dinner service for the new chef!

4 "Murder on the High Seas"

With Ben Willougby officially now the St. David Boson, he's got a lot of pressure to prove his worth. In one of his first actions as Boson, he nearly strands the charter guests on the beach. It's Captain Kerry Titheradge to the rescue. Captain Kerry has to come and help the tender off the shore as an impending storm moves in. Not a great first look for Boson Ben. Being shortn a deckhand, St. David welcomed a new exterior member, Dylan Pierre De Villiers . The handsome South African may be pretty on the eyes, but he's not making a great first impression. Especially to Sunny Marquis . Welcome to the start of their tension for the remainder of the season. Meanwhile, she's still crushing on Ben. Despite their flirtmance, he's dancing with other women, including 2nd Stew, Xandi Olivier . Sunny is not thrilled, but, at this point, they're not official so she can't be too mad, right?

Below Deck is notorious for exceptional theme parties. On this charter, Chief Stew Fraser Olender is in charge of creating a murder mystery party for the guests. And of course, the crew must be involved. As the guests are enjoying their desserts, Barbie Pascual rushes in that there's been a murder! It's Fraser! He's dead. Not really. That would be a travesty. The guests are engaged in the game and all is well! Another successful night aboard St. David.

3 "Grenadian Nightmare"

Remember the sushi? Here comes the aftermath. After making two giant platters of sushi at the behest of Jill Zarin , Chief Stew Fraser Olender is adamant that Chef Anthony Iracane make more sushi that would work for the primary. Great idea. The only problem is there's no more rice for sushi. Chef Anthony used it all. Meanwhile, Jill Zarin is ready for the meal. Guess who's not! Chef Anthony. He's in over his head and Fraser has no idea how to fix the situation at hand. Fraser alerts the guests that they have options for their main course, which means Chef Anthony has made extra work for himself. But there's no hiding any problems for this meal as Captain Kerry Titheradge is joining the guests for dinner. And leave it to Jill Zarin to complain about the meal in front of the captain. Captain Kerry will give Chef Anthony a lashing during the tip meeting. Chef Anthony is officially on his last leg.

With a stew down, Barbie Pascual feels like she's being overworked and feels eager to leave. But she's not a quitter, so she's just going to complain about her workload. She has a major problem with how Fraser is delegating, as she feels 2nd Stew Xandi Olivier is doing less work than her. Whether fact or not, she is technically her superior. As is Fraser. Barbie is just proving that she has a problem with authority. With a new stew arriving, it would seem like things would be better for the interior team, but Fraser and Barbie will continue to clash, especially when it's revealed that the new stew, Paris Field , has a loose connection to Fraser. Barbie's back on the bottom of the totem pole. Paris, who gets to join the crew during their day off, is alerted to the Barbie of it all thanks to Fraser. Meanwhile, what should be a relaxing day off turns into a disaster as Barbie and Fraser nearly come to blows. Let's blame the sun and booze.

2 "New Capt, New Rules"

It's officially the start of a new era on Below Deck . Following the departure of Captain Lee Rosbach , there's a new captain in town, and he goes by the name of Captain Kerry Titheradge . Having previously starred in Below Deck Adventure , he was a welcome face for the viewers. Thankfully for Captain Kerry, he would have some Below Deck alum to guide him through a safe voyage on the flagship program. Returning as Chief Stew is Fraser Olender . Additionally, he'll be joined by his slight rival from the previous season, Ben Willoughby , who starts as Lead Deckhand. Beyond that, new season, new crew. Aside from Captain Kerry, Ben, and Fraser, the starting crew includes Chef Anthony Iracane, Boson Jared Woodin , deckhand Sunny Marquis and Kyle Stillie , and stews Xandi Oliver, Barbie Pascual , and Cat Baugh . This season, St. David will be exploring the beautiful seascape of Grenada.

As the crew prepares for the first charter of the season, viewers were offered some glimpses into extraordinary foreshadowing. Chef Anthony is already in over his head. An hour and twenty-two minutes between courses?! No Chef, no! Boson Jared Woodin is already in over his head. In the first departure, Jared is showing his inability to communicate well with the captain. Or take blame for his mistakes. Meanwhile, Fraser and Ben are willing to let bygones be bygones in hope for a good charter season. With his interior team, Fraser decides not to give ranks. And yet, Barbie feels it's her place to micromanage Cat. Little does she know how she speaks to Cat is going to be one of the catalysts that will cause her to depart later in the season. Cat already begins to breakdown , so Fraser has to give her a pep talk. On charter one.

1 "Pier Pressure"

To kick off the episode, the charter guests finish their first dinner and the first day of charter is officially done. Chef Anthony Iracane is overwhelmed, but thankfully, his exceptional culinary skills saved the night. With Barbie Pascual on the night shift, she has to babysit the primaries who are on their honeymoon. And we all know what happens during a honeymoon. Barbie is pretty sure the happy couple did it in the jacuzzi. On her watch. Barbie will complain about to Kyle Stillie , but even though his jokes, the joke will be on him. He's the one who has to clean the infamous hot tub the next morning.

Viewers will learn a lot about the unique stylings of Xandi Olivier . She might be a witch. She might be a vampire. No matter what she is, she doesn't go out in the sun much. With an off-boat excursion in the cards, it's up to the entire crew to prepare for the event. Well, between Boson Jared Woodin and Lead Deckhand Ben Willoughby will forget essential items to make this excursion a success. This episode will reveal that Ben has previously been diagnosed with ADHD, hence why he has trouble concentrating. Things won't be better as he is involved in a near-docking disaster. Captain Kerry Titheradge nearly hits the dock, and it's all on Jared's watch. Captain Kerry is not about any of the excuses Jared has for him.

As Season 10 viewers know, Chief Stew Fraser Olender and Ben did not have the best working relationship. Season 11 is not going to prove different. With his interior team complaining to other crew members, the drama makes it back to Fraser that Barbie was complaining to Ben about Cat Bough, who was complaining about her. Fraser is not thrilled that Ben might be meddling with his interior team, so he has to have a chat with him. Call that truce. Speaking of, the brilliant Chief Stew Fraser Olender asserts his dominance and proof of why he might be one of the best, as he is able to sit both girls down and find a solution about getting along. Great effort. Now it's in their hands to make it work.

Heesen's Let It Be signed by Fraser

Dennis Frederiksen at Fraser Yachts in Monaco is a busy man and difficult to get hold of but when I do call him he always has interesting news. There certainly is today as he confirms that he's signed the central agency for sale of Heesen's 47m Let It Be .

Built in 2006 to Lloyds class and MCA compliant, she's a full displacement superyacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. She sleeps 12 guests in six staterooms and has, says Dennis, "a very tasteful interior incorporating wood, leather and fine fabrics."  Now on the market at €24.75 million, _ Let It Be  _will be lying off Monaco during next week's yacht show.

History of Primorsky Krai

The first people settled in the region more than 30 thousand years ago. According to ancient legends, the coastal line was densely inhabited. In the Middle Ages, there were three empires on the territory of Primorye, which successively replaced each other: Bohai (698-926), Jin (1115-1234), Eastern Xia (1215-1233).

In the early 13th century, the territory of East Asia suffered the Mongol invasion. This led to the fall of the empire of Jin, but some provinces in the east preserved independence and formed an independent state known as Eastern Xia. In 1233, after another invasion this state ceased to exist too.

After that, the region was in ruins and attracted people persecuted in surrounding countries (bandits, adventurers, political dissidents). The first documented Russian presence in the region dates back to the summer of 1655, when the northern Primorye was visited by Russian Cossacks under the command of Onuphrius Stepanov.

In the middle of the 19th century, the Russian Empire began to strengthen its position in the north-west coast of the Pacific Ocean. In 1856, Primorskaya oblast was formed from the coastal parts of Eastern Siberia and Kamchatka. The territory of present Primorye was incorporated into the Russian state on the basis of Aigun (1858) and Beijing (1860) peace treaties that legalized the border between Russia and China.

More historical facts…

Since then, the southern part of Primorye took its current shape. In 1860, Vladivostok was founded as a military post. Russian migration in the region began. In 1899, the Oriental Institute was opened in Vladivostok - the first higher educational institution in Eastern Siberia and the Far East, and one of the oldest in East Asia.

Further strengthening of Russian positions in the Far East was limited by the small size of the Russian population and remoteness from populated parts of the empire. Regular communication between St. Petersburg and Vladivostok was established after the completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1903.

From 1861 to 1917, about 250,000 peasants arrived in Primorye and founded 342 settlements. In 1917, the population of Primorye amounted to 307,000 people. By the mid-1920s, the local population reached 600,000 people. In the 1930s, forced industrialization and collectivization began which led to another wave of migration. The migration was both voluntary and forced (prisoners).

In 1937-1938, about 200,000 people of Korean and Chinese nationalities were forcibly deported from the region. Until the end of the 1980s, as a result of ethnic deportations, the Chinese and Koreans disappeared from the national composition of the population of Primorye.

In the summer of 1938, on the southern boundary of Primorye, in the area of Lake Khasan, there were military clashes between Manchukuo (a puppet state under Japanese control) and the Soviet Union. After two weeks of fighting, the USSR was able to repel the aggression. On October 20, 1938, Primorsky Krai with the capital in Vladivostok was formed.

After the end of the Second World War, Primorsky Krai continued to develop as a major industrial and agricultural region of the Far East also specializing in the extraction of natural resources. Rail and sea transport played a significant role in the local economy. Migration from the European part of Russia and Siberia continued, which led to an increase of population of the region from 1,381,000 people in 1959 to 1,978,000 in 1979.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the region’s economy went into decline, reverse migration in the European part of Russia began. At the beginning of the 21st century, the social and economic situation in Primorsky Krai improved.

Primorsky Krai - Features

Primorsky Krai is located in the south of the Far East, in the south-eastern part of the Russian Federation. It is bordered by Khabarovsk Krai in the north, China in the west, North Korea in the south-west, and is washed by the Japan Sea in the south and east. The largest cities are Vladivostok (601,300), Ussuriysk (172,000), Nakhodka (140,200), Artyom (104,500).

The maximum length of Primorsky Krai (from the mouth of the Tumannaya River to the source of the Samarga River) is about 900 km, the maximum width (from the valley of the Ussuri River to the coast of the Sea of Japan) - about 280 km. The highest peak is Mount Anik (1,933 meters) located in the north-easton of the region, near the border with Khabarovsk krai.

The climate of Primorye is temperate monsoon. Winters are dry and cold with sunny weather; springs are long, cool, with frequent changes of temperature; summers are warm and humid; autumns as a rule are warm and dry.

The main peculiarity - lots of precipitation and fog in summer. Summer is the period of typhoons. The average temperature in July is about plus 17-21 degrees Celsius, in January - minus 8-23 degrees Celsius.

Primorsky Krai - Economy

A number of large and unique deposits of various minerals have been discovered in Primorye. This region has the most powerful mining industry in the Far East of Russia. There are about 100 coal deposits (2.4 billion tons), 30 deposits of tin, 15 deposits of complex ores containing zinc, lead, copper, and silver. Gold deposits are located both in the south of the region and in the north.

The largest in Russia deposit of boron is located near the town of Dalnegorsk. Several phosphorite deposits are discovered on the shelf of the Sea of Japan. There are also several small oil fields, large deposits of germanium. Mountain rivers have significant hydropower potential. Diverse forests cover about 80% of the territory.

Primorsky Krai is the most developed region in the Russian Far East due to its favorable geographic location and abundance of various natural resources. The local economy is based on such industries as mining, timber, fisheries, trade, shipbuilding and repairing.

Primorye has a relatively well-developed transportation network. The main traffic artery is the eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Due to its proximity to Japan and the Republic of Korea (imports of relatively cheap used cars), Primorsky Krai occupies the first place in Russia in the number of vehicles in the population.

The seaports of Primorsky Krai play an important role in the economy of Russia. The largest container terminals in the Russian Far East are located here. Regional and international air flights are carried out from Vladivostok International Airport.
