Maybe Owner/Cptn crew were not aware of its presence.
Quite possible savey smugglers attached it and would retrieve at the there end
“Maybe Owner/Cptn crew were not aware of its presence.“
Once, maybe. Twice, no.

The story reminded me of a guy I met in Tampa / Tarpon years ago. He had been a USCG interdiction diver (I think) and I asked him about some of his wildest experiences. One of them, he said, was being under a ship near the screws when the skipper fired it up and put it into gear. Said his heart pretty much exploded in his chest and he just dove fast and hard. Frankly I don’t know why one would risk a multi-million dollar stash by keeping it “near the rudder.”
The Master discovered it....that’s Captain
I wonder where the ship had been before...
Puerto Cabello Venezuela maybe or maybe it was put on at Port of Spain
That’s a very large ship worth more than the dope
Not to mention the liquified natural gas it carries
Somebody lost around 350-400,000 cost not to mention eventual payday of 200 X 25,000= 5M
