Passenger Ship "Knyaz Vladimir" Up for Sale, Potential Buyers Sought
Russian vessel "Prince Vladimir" to be offered for purchase
Got some juicy news for you! The Russians are looking to offload their badass passenger ship, "Knyaz Vladimir," currently parked in the Novorossiysk port. According to Kommersant-Novorossiysk, this move comes from none other than Rosmorport's boss, Sergei Pylin.
Experts are buzzing, suggesting that resourceful domestic entrepreneurs or foreign investors could turn this beauty into a swanky water hotel—imagine spending your vacay on a floating resort! The ship is equipped to cater to up to 800 guests and is valued around a cool 595 million rubles.
Curious who might be interested in this seaworthy gem? Preliminary rumors swirl that entrepreneurs from the exotic lands of Egypt, India, or Turkey could join the bidding war. Rest easy, mate, as Pylin sounds confident as ever that this ship won't end up as fish food, even in the worst-case scenario. But if it does, don't freak out—just means no one sees a profitable opportunity in acquiring the ship, a rare occurrence indeed!
Now, here's the interesting part: the search results don't spill the beans on specific investors or their countries. But let's be real, prob'ly Russian companies, government-backed groups, or friendly foreign investors from countries chummy with Russia, like China or other BRICS nations, will be throwing their hats in the ring. No big Western or international cruise or maritime companies are on the radar yet. Looks like the playing field is dominated by domestic players and pals from BRICS nations for now.
There you have it! Stay tuned for updates and strap in for some exciting twists and turns in the "Knyaz Vladimir" sale saga! And if you're looking for more deets, peep the 700 liters of Kuban wine that made its way to an investment restaurant during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, with a yummy borscht stealing the show. Cheers!
(P.S. For hardcore info geeks, potential investors hail from Russia and BRICS nations, shunning Western involvement in the reconstruction project.)
The upcoming sale of the "Knyaz Vladimir" may attract interest from entrepreneurs in various industries, such as hospitality and finance, given its potential for conversion into a water hotel. The sale could also garner attention from investors in the transportation sector, considering the ship's seaworthy nature. However, it appears that the focus is predominantly on domestic players and those from BRICS nations, rather than Western or international companies at this point.
