A lion on the loose

The largest privately owned yacht in the world, the 180m Azzam ('Resolute as a lion' in Arabic ) has left the dock at the Lurssen yard for the first time for her owner in Abu Dhabi. She was photographed in Gibraltar waters by Giovanni Romero for Superyachttimes.com. Although Azzam was ready to be delivered to her owner a year ago, in October 2013, he has only decided to collect her from the yard now. It is not known exactly what this has to do with. It may have taken time to complete a berth in Abu Dhabi.
