Details in Spanish and then English....
Copiado del periódico "La Voz de Galicia" :-
Copied from newspaper " The voice of Galicia":-

Llega a Vigo el «Orca II» con 1.300 kilogramos de cocaína a bordo.
El remolcador Orca II , apresado el pasado 4 de noviembre en alta mar con sus cinco tripulantes cuando transportaba 1.300 kilogramos de cocaína, arribará hoy a la antigua Escuela de Técnicos Especialistas de la Armada de Vigo. Los detenidos en esa operación son un alemán, un austríaco, dos caboverdianos y un ghanés.
En la captura y abordaje intervinieron personal de Aduanas de la Agencia Tributaria en colaboración con las autoridades británicas, a través del organismo Serious Organised Crime Agency y la Royal Navy. El dispositivo naval hispano-británico localizó el objetivo cuando navegaba a unas 360 millas al sudoeste de Cabo Verde.
El abordaje se produjo por sorpresa y sin ningún incidente y en la misma participaron funcionarios de Aduanas españoles con el apoyo logístico del buque británico de la Royal Navy Argyle . El Orca II tiene una eslora de 50 metros y está abanderado en Honduras.

Hola Angel:

Si no me equivoco este barco se llamaba Orca II, y en su día fue confiscado por la Guardia Civil en una operación antidroga. Saludos
