Drug Smuggler* as Pilot

Report 200747

Arriving off a south American port, a vessel embarked someone they supposed to be a sea pilot. He boarded from a launch marked 'Pilot', his identification was checked by the crew and he was signed in and escorted to the bridge. There he confidently introduced himself as the sea pilot and said the berthing pilot would be arriving shortly. When the real pilot came onboard, the ‘sea pilot’ talked with him in Spanish, and the bridge team overheard him quietly introducing himself as the owners’ superintendent, after which he retreated* to the far side of the bridge. At some time, perhaps during the busy berthing procedure, the bogus* pilot hid the contents of one of his backpacks in a cabin near the bridge door. This turned out to be envelopes containing cocaine. Fortunately, he was stopped when leaving the terminal area, the police were called to the vessel and the drugs were found by police dogs.
