The seizures were the result of four coordinated interdictions, which involved a joint effort between U.S. and international maritime forces. The contraband—comprised of both cocaine and marijuana—was intercepted before reaching U.S. shores, highlighting the ongoing collaboration between domestic and allied agencies in combating transnational crime.
Key assets involved in the interdiction operations included:
U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Diligence (WMEC 616)
Royal Netherlands Navy ship HNLMS Groningen (P-843)
U.S. Coast Guard Tactical Law Enforcement Team (TACLET) Pacific, LEDET 105
Joint Interagency Task Force-South (JIATF-S)
Seventh Coast Guard District Command Center watchstanders
This successful mission underscores the importance of multinational cooperation and sustained maritime vigilance in protecting U.S. borders and preventing the flow of illicit drugs into American communities.
