As reported byThe Sun and theDaily Mail, the luxury giga-ship "Kingdom 5KR" from the manufacturer Benetti is said to have driven its bow into a quay in the port of Bizerte on Friday, October 11. Footage shows the giant boat stuck.

According to reports, the cause of the incident has not yet been determined. The damage, which is certainly considerable, "is to be ascertained as part of an investigation by the Bizerte sea guard", according to the Daily Mail.

The approximately 85-metre-long "Kingdom 5KR" was originally built for the Saudi billionaire and arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi (†81). In "Never Say Never", it was the yacht of the villain Largo.

After being sold to the Sultan of Brunei, she became the property of Donald Trump, who renamed her the "Trump Princess". In 1991, the Saudi prince bought the swank boat.
