Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000700660001-2 WORKING PAPER 8921 890627 V: 032 S: 01 SUMMARY OF INFORMATION The target is a vessel, the vessel is constructed of SG1A wood and metal, with the name of the vessel being SG1A which will be changed later to something resembling "Intrepid". The vessel has something to do with charter fishing -- it appears that this may be on the commercial level . The vessel has an excellent cover established. It is of Panamanian registry; During transit it can and will change it's name, captain and crew in order to maintain it's inconspicuous nature. It will follow a zig zag course with multiple ports of variable duration. During transit the vessel will have communications using some type of encrypted commo system, ; either DMDG, SATCOM or something not easily detected or decoded (See sketch #3). There are drugs present on this vessel. The illegal substances are packaged in (dark (green) plastic and are wrapped in a dark colored tape (See sketch #2). These packages are bundled together into a larger one and are wrapped in burlap with twine. These bundles have been concealed in the sides of the vessel behind some sort of paneling or wood boards (See sketch #1). Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000700660001-2
Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000700660001-2 The vessel does not appear to be a sailing vessel -- it is under it's own power, yet it does have some kind of mast that raises above the wheel house of the ship. This vessel is not the primary mover of these substances into the final destination there will be an exchange at some point to another vessel for the final leg of travel into the terminal destination. The name of this new vessel resembles the name "Calama" Several names of places were perceived: Bocas del Toro (this place should be watched very carefully -- there is something special about it), Camarillos or Camarindo, Salinas and Ventura. Other places perceived were Haiti and the Dominican Republic which is where some type of termination and or exchange will take place. The route followed by the vessel is; departure from the south west coastline of Costa Rica, effect a night crossing of the Panama Canal something strange about the 5" Pan Canal Commission Pilot on this one!, movement to the west north west to an Island where a logger will take place. The next leg of movement will be along the coast in an eastern direction stopping several times in places such as Cammarillos or Camarindo near RioHacho. The vessel will then follow the same direction into the leeward side of the . Antilles near a place called Salinas. The vessel will again lager and then move to the north west from island to island until it terminates Aear or in Haiti or Dom. Rep.y near something called the windward passage.
