PETALING JAYA: The superyacht Equanimity has been renamed the Tranquility, according to the ship-tracking website Marine Traffic. It stated that the vessel's name as reported by the automatic identification system (AIS) is Tranquility instead of Equanimity. Once owned by fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, or better known as Jho Low, it was reported that Equanimity was built for US$250mil (RM1.42bil) using funds linked to 1MDB. It was announced earlier this month that it was sold to Genting Malaysia Bhd for US$126mil (RM514.14mil), and is currently docked in Singapore. Genting Malaysia Bhd is part of the Genting Group whose businesses include casino operations in Genting Highlands in Malaysia and Sentosa Island in Singapore.
