Reviews & Ratings for the Legend-Aquarius

In a significant drug bust, Indonesian law enforcement apprehended a group of alleged methamphetamine smugglers aboard the vessel 'Legend Aquarius' on July 13, 2024, in the Riau Islands, located near Singapore. The nation’s National Narcotics Agency (BNN) seized over 100 kilograms of meth during an operation off the coast of Karimun. The operation revealed that three Indian nationals, all holding Singaporean residency permits, were allegedly behind the shipment. They reportedly chartered the landing ship and concealed the illicit cargo during a stop at a private port in Johor Bahru. Notably, the ten Indonesian crew members aboard the ship were not implicated in the investigation. Authorities discovered that the suspects had ingeniously created a hidden storage area on the deck of the ship, where they stashed the drugs inside a fuel container. Following the boarding, the suspects were zip-tied and compelled to assist the enforcement team in locating and cataloging the confiscated narcotics. On July 17, a press conference showcased the three Indian engineers, clad in orange jumpsuits and handcuffs, positioned beside a table laden with the illegal drugs. Under Indonesian law, if convicted of drug smuggling, they face severe penalties, potentially leading to death by firing squad for the most serious offenses. All three individuals are marine engineers with degrees and had been residing in Singapore for at least six years. The destination of the 'Legend Aquarius' was reportedly Australia, raising further concerns regarding international drug trafficking routes.
