Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Crown-Jade

In a significant drug interception, British authorities uncovered approximately 850 kg of cocaine concealed within a shipment of bananas aboard the 'Crown Jade'. This remarkable seizure took place from October 26 to October 28, 2013, and is estimated to hold a staggering street value of around £136 million. The vessel, which had taken on the banana cargo in Colombia, made its way to Portsmouth, where it docked on October 26. The thorough search carried out by police lasted three days, culminating in the discovery. Following the investigation, the 'Crown Jade' departed Portsmouth on October 28 with its next destinations set for the Port of Pointe-a-Pitre, following stops at Antwerp and Le Havre.
