Assistant professor at Aalborg University Nelson F. Coelho, an expert in international law and the shipping industry, explains that detecting drug smuggling on large container ships is extremely complex. He emphasises the need for greater investment in resources by customs authorities in busy trade routes. Mr Coelho also highlights the creativity of smugglers in hiding drugs within cargo or the vessel itself. "The problem is one of capacity rather than transparency," he states.
