Nearly 400kg of cocaine has been discovered hidden on a multipurpose in the Caribbean.
Trinidad & Tobago authorities raided the 5,100-dwt Throne (built 1997) off the north coast of Trinidad, domestic media reported on Thursday.
The drugs, worth $24m, were found concealed in watertight packages in the fuel tanks, the Trinidad & Tobago Guardian cited intelligence sources as saying.
AIS data shows the vessel, believed to be Turkish-controlled, was destined for Belem in Brazil.
It has now been brought in to Staubles Bay in Chaguaramas.
US officials were also involved in the operation.
The crew of 19, comprising two Turks and 17 Indians, were questioned.
The vessel had previously called in Ecuador and passed through the Panama Canal several weeks ago.
