Jeff Bezos' superyacht will see historic bridge dismantled

He told the Rijnmond website The Project was " very important" from an economic perspective and cited Rotterdam's reputation as the " maritime capital of Europe".
" Shipbuilding and activity within that sector are an important pillar of the municipality, " He Said .
Mr Walravens told a local newspaper The Project will likely happen in the summer, with officials hoping the section can be removed and replaced within a couple of weeks.
Details about the luxury custom yacht order being built by Oceanco emerged Last Year . The Firm remains tight-lipped about its clients but a Bloomberg biography about Bezos in 2021 appeared to confirm rumours that he would be the owner.
Known as Y721, according to Boat International. It is rumoured to boast plenty of luxury features with an accompanying " support yacht" On Order with a helicopter landing pad.
The Move was, who described " tear[ing] down our beautiful National Monument " as " a bridge too far".
Forbes estimates the Amazon founder is worth More Than $175bn (£130bn) and currently ranks him as the third richest in The World . Aside from being a giant in the e-commerce industry, Bezos also owns the Washington Post newspaper and space company Blue Origin .
