Oceanco's Kaos is once again under attack from eco-activists.

The protesters are demanding the confiscation of the world's 6.000 largest yachts and a tax plan for billionaires to be put into place for a climate fund.

Kaos

The 110-meter Oceanco Kaos, owned by Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie, has once again been targeted by environmental activists. In less than two months, it has been vandalized twice with spray paint by environmentalists from two different groups.

Originally ordered by the Emir of Qatar, this pleasure vessel was delivered by Oceanco as Jubilee in 2017 and purchased the following year by Walton Laurie, heir to Walmart founder Sam Walton, for approximately $300 million.

According to AIS data, Kaos has been sailing between Barcelona, ​​Ibiza, Monaco, and other Mediterranean ports in recent months. The first act of vandalism occurred on July 16th, when the Spanish social and environmental action group Futuro Vegetal approached Kaos's mooring along a public promenade in the heart of Ibiza's seafront. The group, carrying fire extinguishers filled with paint, sprayed the yacht's stern with a splash of red and black. The Kaos crew attempted to clean up the damage, and members of the Civil Guard arrested the two activists involved.

After repairing the damage with an operation at the La Ciotat shipyard in France, Kaos returned to its mooring in Barcelona's luxurious Marina Port Vell. Last Friday morning, Extinction Rebellion activists, armed with large fire extinguishers filled with red paint, managed to bypass the ISPs-certified security system and reach the dock. This time, the activists dumped the extinguishers over the Kaos's starboard side, and then unfurled a protest banner. They apparently had plenty of time inside the security facility: the group reported being arrested at around 9:00 a.m., two hours after the operation began.

Extinction Rebellion subsequently released a list of policy demands, including a proposal to confiscate the world’s 6.000 largest yachts and a plan to tax billionaires to contribute to a climate mitigation fund.
