After mysteriously sailing into Hong Kong two weeks ago, Russian tycoon Alexey Mordashov’s $500 million superyacht weighed anchor Thursday and departed for South Africa. It was southeast of Hainan Island on Friday morning.
The 465-foot (142-meter) Nord, which caused a stir when it arrived in Hong Kong earlier this month, registered that it expects to arrive in Cape Town on Nov. 9. Prior to coming to Hong Kong, it was docked in Vladivostok, according to vessel data compiled by Bloomberg.
