SUMMARY OF INFORMATION
The vessel
is currently
(27 1250L APR 90) at 15 N 74 30' W
(south of
Haiti) heading
ENE.
The vessel
is carrying cocaine
which is
wrapped in small, clear,
fist-sized, plastic bags which
are then wrapped in
insulating materials.
These
packages have
been
stuffed
into
small ,
virtually
inaccessible
mooks
and
crannies under and around
engine (s) /pipes/machinery
in
the far
stern
the
ship
(from starboard past the centerline) , well-
below the waterline (D-F 10 on notional ship grid) .
The contraband will
be
transferred
to
similarly sized
vessel
on
30
APR
90,
under the cover of darkness
(after 2200
hours) at a location
east of
the Turks
and Caicos
Islands (22
12'N 69 12' W) .
The second vessel
will
continue toward the US.
One of
the call
signs associated with the ship sounds like
"MACHEEKA/MICHEEKA/CHEECA/CHICO. "
There is
the
strong
impression
that
at
some
point
a
helicopter will be involved in this operation.
