Listing trawler causing concerns

The 'Raimy' was intercepted on Dec 23, 2024, south of Papeete with 524 kg of cocaine on board by the the gendarmerie and the French Navy and taken to Papeete. The 14 crew members have been in pretrial detention awaiting trial n Polynesia since. But the vessel poses a serious problem, as toxic gases are being released from rotting fish, and the trawler has been starting to list. The Port Authority feared it will eventually sink at its berth. The trash cans on deck are overflowing and have been pierced by animals. The foul odor permeates the surrounding area. The Port is seriously concerned about the ship's fate. An industrial cleaning company has been contracted to empty the holds with a pump truck, degas with people entering the confined spaces. The "Raymi" was not seized for the legal proceedings and thus not in the hands of the courts. It is now necessary to identify its owner or declare the vessel abandoned, both of which are lengthy procedures.
