英国皇家海军“特伦特”号最近在加勒比海的一次行动中缴获了价值超过4000万英镑的可卡因。这是该船今年第六次成功截获毒品，2024年共缉获了5.515亿英镑的毒品。

8月8日，位于朴茨茅斯的英国皇家海军“特伦特”号巡逻舰接到警报，称在多米尼加共和国以南120海里处有一艘可疑快艇。在美国海上巡逻机的协助下，该船迅速接近目标。

英国皇家海军陆战队和美国海岸警卫队的官员被派去拦截这艘船，结果查获了506公斤A类毒品。船上的三名走私者已被移交给美国当局进行起诉。

“特伦特”号的指挥官蒂姆·兰福德（Tim Langford）赞扬了他的团队的行动，他说，“特伦特”号与美国合作伙伴的成功行动表明，“特伦特”号有能力协助加勒比海的反贩运行动。

武装部队部长卢克·波拉德(Luke Pollard)也赞扬了这次行动，并补充说，这次拦截显示了皇家海军在确保整个地区的海上安全和维护国际法方面的关键作用。波拉德进一步说，他们向毒贩发出了一个强烈的信息，即没有任何地方是安全的，他们将在世界任何地方破坏他们的活动。

HMS Trent今年共缴获了6995公斤毒品，这是与美国海岸警卫队和联合跨部门特遣部队（南部）密切合作开展的一项大规模跨国行动的一部分。

英国皇家海军“特伦特”号继续在加勒比海巡逻，在飓风季节为英国海外领土提供保障，并积极减少通过该地区的非法货物流量。

The Royal Navy’s HMS Trent has seized ***e worth over £40 million in a recent operation in the Caribbean Sea.  This is the ship’s sixth successful drug interception this year, with a total of £551.5 million in ***s seized in 2024.



On August 8, HMS Trent, a Portsmouth-based patrol ship, received an alert of a suspicious speedboat around 120 nautical miles south of the Dominican Republic.  With the assistance of a US Maritime Patrol Aircraft, the vessel quickly closed in on the target.



Royal Marines and US Coast Guard officers were dispatched to intercept the boat, resulting in the seizure of 506kg of Class A ***s.  The three smugglers on board have been handed over to the U.S. authorities for prosecution.



Commander Tim Langford, the Commanding Officer of HMS Trent, applauded his team’s actions, stating that the successful operation alongside the American partners demonstrates HMS Trent’s ability to assist in anti-trafficking operations in the Caribbean Sea.



Luke Pollard, Minister for the Armed Forces, also praised the operation, adding that the interception shows the Royal Navy’s crucial role in ensuring maritime security and upholding international law throughout the region.  Pollard further said that they are sending a strong message to drug traffickers that no place is secure and that they will disrupt their operations wherever in the world.



HMS Trent has captured a total of 6,995kg of drugs this year as part of an extensive multinational operation in close collaboration with the US Coast Guard and the Joint Interagency Task Force (South).



HMS Trent continues to patrol the Caribbean, offering assurance to British Overseas Territories during hurricane season and actively minimizing the flow of illegal cargo through the region.
