The U.S. Coast Guard’s National Security Cutter BERTHOLF lived up to its mission of keeping our homeland and maritime borders safe. Returning to port this week, the crew offloaded more than 25 tons of cocaine worth more than $765 million seized in the Eastern Pacific Ocean drug transit zone off the coast of Central and South America.
I congratulate the captain, officers and crew of U.S. Coast Guard Cutter BERTHOLF on its return from a successful patrol in the Eastern Pacific. Thanks to their great work along with the efforts of other federal and international partners, 2015 has been the most successful fiscal year for counter drug operations in the Eastern Pacific since 2009.
