Two containers filled with military equipment and ammunition were located on Thursday aboard an Antigua-flagged freighter sailing near the Kafireas Strait (Cavo d’Oro) southeast of the island of Evia.
According to the vessel’s master, the cargo was loaded in Burgas, Bulgaria and headed to Uruguay.
The equipment and ammo, however, was not accompanied by the usual customs invoices for export from the EU. No details were given by the coast guard as to the type of military equipment discovered.
The vessel was subsequently escorted to the port of Piraeus for a further inspection.
