2024年11月19日，美国海岸警卫队的Cutter Munro号在圣地亚哥港口卸下了超过29,000磅的可卡因，价值约3.358亿美元。

这些毒品是在9月和10月在东太平洋进行的11次不同的涉及涉嫌走私毒品船只的拦截行动中查获的。

这次行动的目标是中美洲、南美洲和墨西哥海岸以外的航线，由海岸警卫队位于加利福尼亚州阿拉米达的第11区管辖。

海岸警卫队官员将这次成功的缉获行动归功于美国各机构和国际合作伙伴之间的团队合作和有效协调。

海岸警卫队巡逻艇蒙罗（Munro）的指挥官说，这些任务在很大程度上依赖于各组织之间的合作，以防止非法毒品进入全球城市。

东太平洋因其广阔的面积而在后勤和行动上具有挑战性，使禁毒行动变得艰巨。

尽管面临这些挑战，海岸警卫队继续通过侦查、监测、拦截和起诉打击跨国贩毒集团。

此次行动是有组织犯罪缉毒特遣部队（OCDEFT）倡议的一部分，该倡议旨在通过情报驱动的多机构行动摧毁高层犯罪网络。

美国海军、海关和边境保护局、联邦调查局和缉毒局，以及国际伙伴在这些努力中进行了合作。

“Munro”号是一艘传奇级的国家安全巡逻艇，在世界上一些最具挑战性的公海环境中作业。其中包括北太平洋的危险渔场和南太平洋的毒品贩运热点。

海岸警卫队第11区海军少将约瑟夫·布泽拉（Joseph Buzzella）讨论了合作在确保该地区安全与稳定方面的作用。

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Munro offloaded over 29,000 pounds of ***e, valued at approximately $335.8 million, at a San Diego port on November 19, 2024.



The drugs were seized during 11 separate interdictions involving suspected drug-smuggling vessels in the Eastern Pacific Ocean during September and October.



The operations, targeting routes off the coasts of Central America, South America and Mexico, were conducted under the Coast Guard’s District Eleven jurisdiction, based in Alameda, California.



The Coast Guard officials attributed the successful seizures to the teamwork and effective coordination among the crew of U.S. agencies and international partners.



The commanding officer of the Coast Guard Cutter, Munro, said that the missions rely heavily on cooperation across various organisations to prevent illegal ***s from reaching global cities.



The Eastern Pacific Ocean is challenging logistically and operationally because of its vast area, making anti-drug operations demanding.



Despite these challenges, the Coast Guard continues to combat transnational drug cartels through detection, monitoring, interdiction, and prosecution.



The offload is part of the Organised Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) initiative, which aims to dismantle high-level criminal networks using intelligence-driven, multi-agency operations.



The United States Navy, Customs and Border Protection, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Administration, along with international partners, have collaborated in these efforts.



The Munro, a legend class national security cutter operates in some of the world’s most challenging open-ocean environments.  These include dangerous fisheries of the North Pacific and drug trafficking hotspots of the Southern Pacific.

Rear Adm. Joseph Buzzella of Coast Guard District Eleven discussed the role of collaborations in ensuring the security and stability of the region.
