All Superyachts like this one are an environmental hazard. The amount of waste just to produce one of these boats is mind boggling, from the production of the raw materials, layup of the GRP components and fit out.
ReplyDeleteThe world complains of plastic c straws yet these bio-hazards fly well under the radar because of the clientele that purchase them.
Since humans started the industrial era, we are for the most part a bio-hazard. A small food store for example is much more a bio hazard then this 24 meter super yacht will ever be. Plastic C-straws do more damage then this super yacht, for the fact that they become invisible over time, and start entering the food chain of micro-organism.
