Spanish Authorities Intercept Drug Drop from Olivia I Off Ceuta
On October 24, 2023, the vessel 'Olivia I' came under close scrutiny from Spanish law enforcement following intel regarding a potential cocaine drop-off as the ship passed near Gibraltar, en route from Cartagena. A vigilant patrol boat tracked the ship off the coast of Ceuta and witnessed an unusual drug drop-off in real-time. Two stowaways, who had been hiding inside a shipping container, executed a daring maneuver; as 'Olivia I' approached the designated drop-off spot, they hastily threw bales of cocaine overboard before jumping into the sea, presumably to be picked up by accomplices waiting on land. However, the patrol boat intervened, successfully retrieving both the stowaways and the seized bales of drugs. Following this incident, the 'Olivia I' was diverted to the port of Algeciras, where it remained docked until the afternoon of October 25. The vessel later resumed its scheduled route to Malta and is expected to arrive in Genova by October 31.
