Addressing the challenges of maritime drug trafficking
Drug trafficking by sea remains a significant challenge for global law enforcement agencies. Large quantities of illicit drugs are transported via maritime routes, with major seizures occurring regularly. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reports that over 90% of the world’s cocaine is trafficked through maritime channels. Efforts to combat this include coordinated international operations, advanced detection technologies, and stringent maritime laws. Understanding the scope and methods of maritime drug trafficking is crucial for enhancing interdiction efforts and disrupting the supply chains of drug cartels.
