In June 2008 Aliyev became a shareholder of Baltimore Alliance Inc. Based in the British Virgin Islands, the company was inactivated in 2014. The main activity of Baltimore was to own, purchase and sell yachts. In 2008 the company bought a 77-foot yacht, the Nomad, registered in the BVI by Mossack Fonseca.
