First they(from ship) gave to custom 16kg but when custom made more search they found out more cocaine.
They have found drugs before from this ship on previous ports.
5 ppl has been arrested in UK.

Airtours from my experiance on the Sunbird are really trying to make an effort to break into the cruise business and situations like this unfortunately undo all the good work that has been achieved even though Airtours had nothing to do with it.
As I understand the ship was searched at Southampton as well and cocaine was found then also. It just shows the lengths drug barons will go to to put their poison all over the world.
All I can say is don't judge a company by the illegal actions of a "few" personnel but judge them by their performance in the actual business they are in.
After all if someone smuggles drugs by plane and get caught at customs the Airline doesn't lose it's good name does it?

I know what you are saying but it is impossible for a company to be able to check out every employee especially if they come from all corners of the globe.
Okay a certain amount of dirt will stick but I still think it's unfair to blame the company.
They have certainly got the price right!
