What Crew Members Say About Galen

Mexican authorities have successfully intercepted a significant drug shipment involving 285 kilograms of cocaine concealed underwater on the bulk carrier 'Cap Palliser'. Intelligence reports indicated the presence of narcotics aboard the ship, prompting a thorough inspection when it docked at Lazaro Cardenas port on December 30, 2017. During the search, officials discovered six containers firmly affixed to the hull, all containing the illicit cargo. This operation culminated in an official announcement made on January 3, 2018, just four days after the ship's arrival. The 'Cap Palliser' departed for Los Angeles shortly after unloading and reached the SSA Container Terminal on the same day as the announcement. The intended destination for this cocaine was Long Beach. Importantly, law enforcement clarified that neither the crew nor the ship's operator was involved in the drug trafficking operation, as the vessel was unwittingly used as a means of transportation for the contraband.
