The 90-metre superyacht Oceanco DAR (ex Project Shark) belongs to Russian billionaire Ziyad Manasir, the website Superyachtfan.com has found out. The site specializes in collecting insider information about megayacht owners.

Indirect confirmation of this leak is the increasing number of flights by Manasir's private jet to Rotterdam, 15 minutes away from the location of the famous Dutch shipyard, over the past three years. In March 2018, during a Russia-France flight, a Gulfstream G650 aircraft even made a lap of honor over the DAR site in Rotterdam.

Oceanco handed over the 90m DAR to the owner in early July. The boat has an aggressive appearance by Louis de Basto, giving it some resemblance to a hammerhead shark. The owner has an entire deck on the DAR, with the side aisles removed at the owner's request to provide maximum privacy for the master suite.

Ziyad Manaseer is the founder of «Stroygazconsulting holding» and Jordan's Manaseer Group oil and gas group. In 2016, he was ranked 140th on the Forbes list of richest Russians with a fortune of $600 million. The billionaire also owns the 47-metre superyacht Heesen Celestial Hope, which is currently up for sale for €19.5 million.
