ISA Brazilian ship named Koznitza was anchored off Straumsvík for two solar days before being towed to port. During an inspection under the ship, 106 kilograms of cocaine were discovered. RÚV first reported the incident. Lúðvík Geirsson, the harbor master of Hafnafjarðarhavn, explained that large ships like this often require special handling due to their size, and they cannot be brought into the harbor unless in high tide. The ship was built in China in 2024 and is owned by the Bulgarian shipping company Navibulgar, sailing under the flag of Malta. The harbor does not monitor ships passing by the bay, and the police have indicated that this could be considered smuggling. According to reports, the police received specific information that led to suspicions of smuggling, and the investigation has been conducted in cooperation with local police units, customs, and Europol. The ship had not previously arrived in Iceland and is now stationed near the Danish island of Borgundarholmi in the East Faroe Islands.
