Lt(N) Tony Wright CTF 150 Public Affairs Officer
The present rotation of Combined Task Force 150, led by Australia and supported by Canada and New Zealand, reached its halfway point Jan. 22, with a boastful 8,000 kilograms of narcotics seized. CTF 150, headquartered in the Kingdom of Bahrain, is one of three combined task forces within Combined Maritime Forces. Thirty-three member nations work together to promote security, stability, and prosper- ity across approximately 3.2 million square miles of international waters, which encompass some of the world’s most important shipping lanes. It has been nine weeks since Australia assumed command with nine more to go until command is passed to the incoming French-led rotation.

Photos provided by Marine Nationale Eight days after Australia assumed command of CTF 150 on Dec. 5, 2019, they had their first drug seizure. French Ship (FS) Courbet, a frigate of the French Marine Nationale, seized 3,500 kilograms of hashish from a dhow in the Gulf of Oman. Not to be outdone, Her Majesty’s Ship (HMS) Defender of the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy followed less than a week later with a seizure of 131 kgs of crystal methamphetamine. Five days into 2020, FS Courbet seized another 1,500kg of hashish from a dhow in the Arabian Sea. On Jan. 17 and 18, ship and crew were at it again. In 24 hours, Courbet’s boarding teams con- ducted three boardings and searches. The third search netted 3,000kg of hashish from a vessel sailing in the Gulf of Oman. Those drugs have an estimated regional whole- sale value of $4.3 million U.S. Had these drugs reached their intended destination, the street value would have been many times more. “We trained hard and prepared for this mis- sion,” said New Zealand’s Capt Sean Stewart, Deputy Commander of CTF 150. “The results we’ve had so far with the support of the French Marine Nationale and the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy are brilliant, but we are not going to slow down. Right up to the last day, we are going to push hard and keep up the pressure on those who exploit the maritime domain for FS Courbet’s boarding team, including their drug detection dog, pose on the flight deck with the 1.5 metric illegal purposes.” tonnes of hashish seized from a dhow in the Gulf of Oman on Jan. 5.
