 On the night of 23rd to 24th of May 2024 during an operation conducted by the French services, patrol vessel Kermorvan intercepted in the waters of the Gulf of Biscayska 406 kg of cocaine smuggled on board the sailing yacht sy LE DAHU floating under the Polish flag.
 Little is known about this incident. The yacht was observed by the service while it was in the Caribbean and led to the Bay of Biscay.
 After becoming aware that a French customs unit was approaching the yacht, two crew members decided to set the yacht on fire and sink it with a smuggled load of cocaine. According to short information from the services, they managed not only to stop the smugglers but also to extinguish the yacht and confiscate 19 buckets containing drugs. The nationality of the detained yacht crew members was not specified.
 The choice of the Polish flag because of the liberal possibilities of registering yachts under "white-red" is a very common decision from drug-smuggling cartels at sea.
 In connection with the above, yachts under the Polish flag are often stopped during smuggling of cocaine and hashish both on the "Atlantic Trail" and on the "Highway 10". Recently in December 2023 the service of Spain: Under the supervision of the Customs of the Treasury, the National Police and the Civil Guard in a joint operation intercepted a semi-rigid cabin boat RIB named "SRC 1250" under the Polish flag. The stop happened in the open ocean 400 nautical miles from the Canary Islands. The last arrested for drug trafficking under the "white-red" unit SRC 1250 was transporting 400 kg of cocaine.
 On November 2023 Brazilian services foiled the smuggling of 3 tons of hashish on a yacht under the German flag. Despite everything, a thread related to the Polish flag appears there. The German yacht sy KIEL was stopped about 196 mm from the coast of Salvador by the Brazilian services of Polícia Federal - PF and Marinha do Brasil. The yacht and its crew have been under observation for some time in connection with suspicions of participating in drug trafficking. Sy KIEL 19 meters old Cheoy Lee 63 was swimming under the Polish flag a few years ago as sy THIASSI. The video from the detention of the unit shows that this name still remains on the superstructure of the yacht and the cobra. However, on July 22, 2023 Spanish services about 150 mm south of the Canary Islands thwarted another significant hashish smuggling. This time more than 6000 kg of hashish was confiscated on board of the 12-meter yacht SY RAYA, which was sailing under the Polish flag. The yacht sailed from southern Portugal towards the west coast of Morocco, where it could carry illegal cargo that was supposed to arrive in Brazil. After the Spanish officers were captured and entered on board the yacht, he was towed to the port of Arguineguín in Gran Canaria, where two members of the yacht's crew were arrested.
 Stopping sy KIEL i sy RAYA yachts is another example of the increase smuggling of Moroccan "hashish" to Brazil, where at least since 2020. European and Brazilian criminal organizations can directly exchange hashish for cocaine.
 Returning to the last detained yacht sy LE DAHU sailing under the Polish flag in the Bay of Biskajska, it turned out that the yacht was set on fire and the very frequent choice of a way to get rid of the smuggled drugs by burning them together with the unit did not prove to be effective. When customs officers take over the drugs. This latest situation from the Gulf of Biscay looks like a different incident related to cocaine smuggling also damaged by French customs officers on the coast of Martinique in 2018.
 Two Quebec residents attempted to smuggle 1.5 tonnes of cocaine valued at $100 million. Each of the men was supposed to get $400,000 for the money laundering.
 Martin Lepage and Langis Bélanger used for smuggling an 18-meter yacht sy Livie, which has started several times in the Vendée Globe regattas.
 The men also decided to set the yacht on fire along with drugs after discovering a patrol ship of French services approaching them. After leaving the burning yacht, they moved to the pontoon themselves. Customs officers with the help of firefighters from the French navy frigate Germinal and after a successful operation of saving the yacht, got on board the coal-fired "Livie", which was still maintaining a surface. As it turned out that the smuggled drugs did not burn and almost 1.5 tons of cocaine were confiscated.
 Despite the attempts to destroy drugs and the same evidence of the crime, the men who smuggled them could not escape punishment.
 Although initially facing 30 years in prison, Lepage and Bélanger were sentenced on June 11, 2020 to seven and five years in prison.
 Last year, sailing yachts accounted for 61% of all detained units while failing drug smuggling by sea.
 The danger of drug trafficking in a yacht sailing is serious, and can be an especially serious danger for delivery people. That's why, as the only center for maritime training, we have included this topic to our training and it constitutes one of the main topics during the training Safety for Sailors - "STCW for Sailors" implemented by Maritime Safety & Security in Szczecin.
