The Coast Guard in Korea said they had found two tons of what they suspect was pure cocaine on the Norwegian ship called Mexico and stopped in Ecuador, Panami and China.

The surgery was launched after the South Korean authorities received the intelligence of US agencies – FBI and Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) – that the vessel wore hidden narcotics.

After the vessel was connected to the port of the eastern coast in South Korea, the team immediately boarded the ship and “discovered the hidden section behind the shipping engine room”.

The drugs were packed in 56 bags, each of which kept about 30 to 40 pounds (about 66 to 88 pounds) of the drug, the authorities said, bringing a total time to about two tons.

The authorities launched a joint investigative team to question the captain and crew of the vessels on origin and intended to destination for drugs, and the route was used to transport them.

Investigators also said they deal with potential relationships with international drug trade unions and that they would expand cooperation with the FBI and HSI.
