The drugs, weighing a total of 137 kilograms, were concealed within a Panamanian-registered ship that was primarily transporting bananas. They were meticulously placed inside four large holdalls, which were hidden below the waterline within the sea chest – an area used for seawater intake to assist with ship stability.
