Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Cap-San-Tainaro

On August 2, 2018, the Colombian Navy, in collaboration with a rapid response team, successfully intercepted the cargo vessel 'Cap San Taneiro' in the Caribbean waters off Cartagena, while it was en route to Caucedo. The anti-drug team conducted a thorough inspection of the ship's containers and uncovered a staggering 1,144 packages of pure cocaine, cleverly concealed within a shipment of wine. The total weight of the confiscated cocaine amounted to 1,144 kilograms. Authorities apprehended 15 individuals believed to be connected to this illicit shipment, including several crew members. The 'Cap San Taneiro' was operating within the Eurosal Loop 1 service, with the drugs reportedly bound for Antwerp, Belgium. Following the seizure, the vessel was escorted back to Colombian waters and anchored at Barranquilla, where investigations are currently underway.

On January 10, 2018, the container vessel 'Cap San Tainaro' encountered an unfortunate incident after docking in the Port of Valparaiso, following its journey from Angamos. While moored at Pacifico Sur Container Terminal, the ship suffered a severe mishap when a gantry crane collided with the mast on its upper bridge deck, resulting in significant damage. Consequently, the vessel's scheduled departure to Callao, originally set for January 16, faced delays, with reports confirming that the 'Cap San Tainaro' remained at berth in Valparaiso until January 15. This incident highlights the occasional challenges faced within busy maritime environments. For visuals of the incident, visit: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2798346.
