Authorities are appealing for public help after an $80 million haul of cocaine hidden in the hull of a cargo ship was seized in Melbourne.
More than 200kg of the illicit drug was discovered after an underwater remotely operated vehicle operated by Australian Border Force officers examined the vessel when it was docked in the Port of Melbourne last month.
It was concealed in a hull attachment in the ship’s sea chest, which houses pipes used to pump sea water.
