After the Asset Recovery and Management Agency ( ARMA) of Ukraine confirmed the auction of the seized motoryacht ROYAL ROMANCE with Troostwijk Auctions, plans for the auction have fizzled out. In a statement shared with The Maritime Observer, the auction house states “Troostwijk will not be the auction platform to enable the sale. While we strongly support Ukraine and their efforts, there were too many questions and unresolved issues that we had to decline the opportunity”
