Guatemalan navy divers have discovered cocaine inside a device attached to the hull of a Cypriot general cargoship.

The find was made on the 31,800-dwt UBC Saiki (built 2002), which is controlled by German owner Hartmann's Cyprus-based management company Intership Navigation.

Navy special forces carried out an underwater inspection in Puerto Santo Tomas after the ship arrived from Santa Marta in Colombia on 17 April.
