Trafficking triumph for police

A FISHING boat that became logged on a reef at Shipwreck Coast in Port Fairy on December 6 has been linked to one of the biggest drug busts in Victoria’s history. A Melbourne organised crime syndicate had planned for a former Japanese whaling boat, Kaiyo Maru, to sail to a rendezvous point hundreds of kilometres from Port Fairy’s coast and exchange 180 kilograms of South American Cocaine.
