The Royal Dutch Navy this year has summed up on her name a record quantity of intercepted drugs in the Dutch Caribbean Region. That happened in collaboration with international partners. Zr.Ms. Holland encountered 4 transports in recent weeks, good for almost 3,000 kilos of cocaine. This brings the total to almost 35,000 kilos of intercepted contraband in 2022.

In recent captures, a go-fast was again and again detected by the maritime patrol aircraft of the Coastguard Dutch Caribbean Region. For this a helicopter of the USA Coastguard and the rapid FRISC- powerboats were deployed. These managed to bring the drug transportations to a stop.

The suspects were arrested on the pot. They were handed over to the American authorities for persecution in the United States of America. The intercepted quantity of drugs in the meantime have been b=destroyed.

Zr.Ms. Holland since the middle of October 2022 is the Navy Patrol Ship in the Dutch Caribbean Region. The Patrol ship during counter-drug operations works closely together with the American Coastguard en Coastguard Caribbean Region.
