This action caused a storm on social networks. Named Abeona, it is the largest civil support ship ever.

With enough space for 45 people, including crew, guests and experts, the ship has a helicopter landing pad, luxury items such as cars, jet skis, submarines, and high-speed boats. . This ship will provide support so Koru can sail smoothly and have a helipad to accommodate his fiancee Lauren Sanchez’s personal helicopter.

But it is this extravagance that has caused controversy. Recently, a Reddit user posted a photo of Jeff Bezos’ new yacht. In the photo, the 75-meter-long Abeona support ship is tailing the Koru yacht. It is the largest and tallest sailing yacht in the world with a height of 70 m, a length of 127 m and three masts up to 70 m high.

Completed by the end of 2022, the yacht worth $500 million joins the fleet of super yachts, helicopters and expensive jets owned by the Amazon billionaire. Koru has 3 masts, 3 floors, is as large as Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza and longer than a football field.

“The king of insatiable spending bought a second yacht worth nearly 100 million USD, just to follow the super yacht worth half a billion. He did that so his girlfriend could have a helipad right on the water,” a Reddit user shared the photo with a comment.

However, another user pointed out the purpose of this support ship. “It holds all the supplies for the mother yacht. It’s not simply a waste of extra money. Mother yachts and support ships often go together even on sea routes,” this person explained.

However, some users think that the Amazon founder is spending too much money. Especially when considering the huge impact these giant ships have on the environment.

The New York Post says that each year Koru produces at least 7,154 tons of greenhouse gases that cause global warming. That’s 447 times the amount most Americans emit every year, according to an analysis by researchers at Indiana University.

Notably, this conclusion does not include the emissions produced by the diesel-powered Abeona support vessel.

Dr. Beatriz Barros – a researcher who analyzed the Koru ship’s emissions – said billionaires like Bezos have invested in issues such as climate change and carbon emissions and been public about it.

“But because they are so rich and so powerful, they feel they have the right to travel on super carbon-producing super yachts, while ordinary people have to drive less, eat less meat,” she said. to protect the environment”.

Although primarily propelled by wind, the Koru superyacht still generates a huge amount of pollution from the energy used to heat and cool the ship and provide other amenities such as saunas, swimming pools, and more. Theatre. “I don’t understand how it is environmentally friendly,” Dr. Barros said.
