Australian Authorities Intercept 900kg Cocaine Haul On Bulk Carrier

900 kilos of cocaine was discovered on a bulk carrier dubbed the ST PINOT in Australia’s Kwinana between May 27 and May 31.

The bulk carrier’s first call in Australia was at Fremantle, which she reached on May 25. She’d set sail from Argentina.

The cocaine was found, assumedly, within the cargo holds following a search that was carried out by the joint forces of the Australian Federal Police, WA Police Force, and Australian Border Force (ABF).

No information on arrests or crew members’ probable involvement was made.

ST PINOT was built in 2013. It flies the flag of the Marshall Islands.
