Drug bust in Indonesia
Indonesian authorities made one of their largest ever drug busts, completed on the night of Aug 17, 2026, on the 'Ocean Porter', coming from Malaysia and suspected of operating under a false ID. They took 10 people, all Myanmar nationals, who were aboard the ship into custody and seized the vessel in Batam for further inspection. The authorities were acting on intelligence and formed a joint operation with customs to intercept the vessel while it was in the waters off Bengkalis, Riau. The police took the 10 individuals into custody after an initial search of the vessel discovered what turned out to be liquid methamphetamine in barrels and the vessel’s water tank. The search revealed the drugs were in eight 200-liter drums as well as in the vessel’s 1,000-liter water tank. The police recovered 2.6 tons of liquid meth. During the search of the vessel, sniffer dogs also hit on a 40-foot container aboard the vessel. A search revealed 1.5 million Chinese cigarettes in plain packages, which were illegal without the proper tax stamps. The ship was operating under the name 'Ocean Porter', but has also identified as 'Rain Wind' or 'Rain Maker'. The ship was sold in 2025 and is registered in Tansania.
