Russian tycoon Alexey Mordashov’s $500 million superyacht is headed for his homeland after more than a year criss-crossing oceans and avoiding sanctions that led to the seizure of more than a dozen other vessels.

The 465-foot (142-meter) Nord changed its destination to Vladivostok on June 25, according to shipping data compiled by Bloomberg. The vessel had gone about eight months in the dark before transmitting its signal again on June 12, near Indonesia.
