Archimedes Vessel Reviews and Specifications

During the vibrant summer months, Kiel serves as more than just a stopover for cruise ships; it also attracts magnificent sailing and luxury yachts. A recent incident involving the 67-meter superyacht 'Archimedes' has highlighted the complexities of German customs regulations. On July 8, customs officials conducting entrance checks noticed some irregularities aboard the yacht. Among the notable discoveries was a carved walrus art piece found in the owner's cabin. While the yacht's owner claimed it was a gift from a Greenlander, he failed to produce any valid proof or CITES documentation. A customs spokesperson stated, 'We have given the owner four weeks to present this documentation.' In addition to this artistic find, customs officials uncovered that the yacht was equipped with two tax-exempt diesel fuel tanks that were reportedly filled in the United States. The authorities have remained tight-lipped regarding the ongoing investigation, citing that it involves criminal tax proceedings.
