In recent years, there have been numerous cases of methamphetamine trafficking apprehended in Indonesia.

This is evident from the *World Drug Report 2024* released by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

According to the report, throughout 2018, Indonesian authorities seized a total of 8,230 kilograms of methamphetamine.

Then in 2019, the volume seized surged to 17,900 kilograms.

After that, the trend of methamphetamine seizures tended to decrease, although the volume remained in the thousands of kilograms per year, as shown in the graph.

In May 2025, a joint team from the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), the Indonesian Navy, and Customs again discovered methamphetamine aboard the ship KM MT Sea Dragon Tarawa.

The ship was carrying 67 boxes, each containing 30 kilograms of methamphetamine. Combined, the total weight reached 2,000 kilograms or 2 tons.

This methamphetamine-carrying ship was apprehended by officers while sailing in the waters of Tanjung Balai Karimun, Riau Islands, on Tuesday (20/5/2025).

According to a *Katadata.co.id* report, the ship is currently being secured at the Batam Customs Pier.
