    The image shows the interior of a circular hatch or access port, likely on a vessel or industrial container, revealing tightly packed black mesh/woven bags secured with colored ties. The bags appear wet or oily and are densely stacked to fill the circular opening. This type of concealment inside a vessel compartment is consistent with documented smuggling interdiction photography.

    In this photo released by the U.S. Coast Guard, some of the 37 bales of cocaine are seen in one of the compartments of a self-propelled, semi-submersible craft that was seized by the Coast Guard Saturday, Sept. 13, 2008, during an at sea interdiction about 350 miles west of Guatemala.

This type of concealment inside a vessel compartment is consistent with documented smuggling interdiction photography.
    Two law enforcement officers in dark uniforms are standing on the deck of a low-profile semi-submersible vessel (narco submarine) alongside a larger ship. The semi-submersible appears to have been intercepted at sea, with its hatch open and various items visible on its deck. This appears to be a maritime interdiction operation, likely a drug trafficking seizure.
