172 kilos cocaine found in sea water intake

The Gibraltar authorities found 172 kilos of cocaine that were being transported hidden in the sea intake box of the 'BBG Journey' on Feb 8, 2023. The Peñón Maritime Traffic services requested the intervention of the Customs service while the ship was supplying fuel in the Bay of Algeciras. The claim responded to a routine inspection of the hull, where divers of Tráfico Marítimo had detected several anomalies next to the sea intake, specifically some ropes that protruded through the deck grid. The Customs service deployed the patrol boat HMC 'Sentinel', whose crew located six large packages hidden in the sea intake box of the vessel. After being analyzed, it was found that the packages contained a total of 172 kilos of cocaine. After questioning its crew, the Gibraltarian authorities released the ship, which continued its vyoage from IUmbituba to Cartagena with an ETA as of Feb 9.
