What Crew Members Say About Polaris-1

On September 7, 2019, the Mexican Navy, alongside Customs officials, reported a notable drug bust involving the vessel 'UBC Tokyo' at the Altamira port. Authorities discovered two bags of cocaine hidden within the cargo hold, which was primarily loaded with iron ore. The UBC Tokyo had docked at Altamira on September 5, after its voyage from Barranquilla. This incident follows a similar case from July 28, where 225 kilograms of cocaine were intercepted aboard the sister ship 'UBC Savannah' under comparable circumstances, also concealed in a hold filled with ore. Such operations highlight the ongoing challenges faced by maritime authorities in combating drug trafficking.
