Haftar's navy consists of aging patrol boats and the "Al Karma" a 40-year old Irish fishing patrol boat with 650,000 miles on the clock. Sold for 110K and flipped to Hafter for 650K. The Greek media described Adm Mahdawis post as " laconic but powerful" greece.greekreporter.com/2019/12/10/lib…
Here is some video of the 65M Al Karama arriving in Libya in 2018. Mahdawi said "”We will liberate the capital, Tripoli, and destroy the Turkish dream.” How he intends to so that is still up for discussion.
The Le Aisling was supposed to be a sexy expedition yacht after a few million in upgrades (See below). Old Navy ships are good buys if you do the upgrades. The sister ship was sold to a Nigerian businessman for €320,000. The Irish were hoping to get at least €400,000 for each.
Haftar used Universal Satcom Services FZE as a the cutout for his purchase. The Nigerian Cyprian Imobhio of Uniglobe Group took the sister ship to Nigeria and was it impounded. The Nigerian navy renamed it (wait for it).. the Prosperity marinetraffic.com/ais/details/sh…
So you have one ship in Libya violating the UN Arms embargo and the other violating Nigerian import laws for military equipment. So all you expedition yacht lovers...keep an eye out for a good deal soon on a fast (35 knot) fixer upper. boatinternational.com/yachts/yacht-d…
