Once again we see that the elite ranks of our security services are up to the job when properly resourced and it highlights the need to greatly invest in these services - new ships, aircraft and properly paid personnel.

What will happen to the MV Matthew - it certainly should not be allowed to leave the country again. Personally I would like to see it publically scrapped to serve as a warning to ship owners around the world to tighten up their security.

Fine the owners millions, and plow the money back into funding ranger units and anti drug taskforce like the US does with drug money seized.
