The authorities of Rotterdam decided to partially dismantle the Koningshaven Bridge, built in 1878, so that the new yacht of billionaire Jeff Bezos could pass along the river. The owner of Amazon ordered a superyacht from one of the Dutch shipyards. The vessel worth 485 million US dollars is already ready. However, due to the fact that when designing the yacht, the parameters of the bridge were not taken into account, the ship turned out to be higher than Koningshaven and will not be able to pass under it. After considering all possible options, it was decided to partially dismantle the old building.
Jeff Bezos assured that he would reimburse the authorities of Rotterdam for the costs of these works, reports kp.ru.
