Drug smuggling seems to be on the increase. 2 tons of cocaine discovered in a container from Colombia at London gateway container terminal and the captain of this ship took action when he discovered crew members suspected of drug smuggling.
Never saw any evidence of drug use or drug smuggling whilst at sea, though once had an emergency call to get myself across to Rotterdam to fill in for a Norwegian mate who had been sacked in Immingham for being as high as a kite wandering along the jetty doing the "hey man" stuff to the shore staff.
On arrival on board in Rotterdam found the mates cabin turned upside down by Dutch drugs squad who had been called in by the company to find if any of the sacked guys drugs were still present, they discovered his stash of cannabis tablets.

Hi John
Austraiia is now one of the biggest importers of Cocaine. The police have just caught a few blokes with one $billion worth of cocaine, they where recruited by a drug cartel to pick the drugs up out at sea. The reason they where caught was that someone reported them buying two small trawlers for cash. They must be completely stupid as only about a month ago they picked up others who had bought a Super yacht for cash.
