This 466 feet long yacht of Sergei Brin is too big for a common private yacht marina.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s luxurious superyacht ‘Dragonfly’, worth about Rs 4,250 crore, is in the news these days for its huge structure and method of fueling.

This 466 feet long yacht is too big for a typical private yacht marina. For this reason, it had to use the cruise berth of the Spanish Navy for refueling.

A special place built on the seashore for parking, cleaning and refueling ships, boats and yachts is called ‘Marina’.

11.6 lakh liters of diesel in one go, expenditure up to ₹ 13.61 crore

The huge size of the dragonfly can be estimated from its fuel requirement. If it is fully refilled with a capacity of 11.6 lakh litres, the bill goes up from ₹13.04 crore to ₹13.61 crore. Refueling from the pipeline takes approximately 12.5 hours.

It takes 60 trucks and 2 days to fill oil from tankers.

If such a large yacht is loaded with normal diesel tankers arriving by road, approximately 60 tanker trucks will be required to supply 11.6 lakh liters of fuel. Refueling via trucks may take at least two days.
