According to press reports of court hearings the vessel had been sold to Atlantioui Pesca, Lomé, Togo. So the Lomé fishery number 201-L may have been official

Info from Grosstonnage

Detained in a joint operation between the Spanish Armada (Navy), the Spanish Aduana (Customs service) and other authorities. The USA would have most likely provided intelligence on it's passage across the Atlantic, and the vessel was detained near the Azores carrying a cargo of four tons of cocaine, valued at €240 million. The vessel was UK registered at the time (and was formerly the Brixham trawler of the same name, registration number BM 296) although, it seems to have remained Spanish owned and operated during that time. Nine crew members were detained at the time of arrest, four Spanish including the captain (from Galicia) & 5 Africans.
Vessel subsequently sold by Judicial order and broken up in situ, at Las Palmas.
Report HERE.
I have a few photos and the name of the old pilot boat recorded somewhere, but cannot locate them at the moment.
Regards, Rick
