Belgian customs intercepted several tonnes of hashish in a container that had come from Morocco, at the Port of Antwerp, on Thursday 18 June 2026.[1] The Federal Public Service Finance (SPF Finances), the Belgian federal finance service, announced the seizure on Wednesday 24 June 2026.[1] The authorities described the load as several tonnes of drugs but said the exact quantity was not yet known.[1]
The narcotics were discovered in a container at quai 188, a berth in the Port of Antwerp.[1] The container had come from Morocco and also carried calcium sulphate.[1]
The discovery was not made public until 24 June 2026, when SPF Finances announced it.[1] The drugs were seized and will be destroyed.[1] An investigation is under way to determine the origin of the hashish and the intended recipient of the shipment.[1]
Hashish seizures are relatively rare in the port of Antwerp, where the great majority of drug discoveries concern cocaine.[1]
