Police seized the drugs during an inspection of 13 containers. The coke was reportedly on its way from Peru to Croatia. No arrests were made.

This is the second big drug bust on the same boat — just with a different crustacean — in the past two weeks.

Authorities busted an international gang trafficking 463 pounds of the narcotic in shipping containers with shrimp from Latin America to Europe on May 23. Two Greeks and two Albanians were nabbed as part of the sting.

Europe has reportedly become the world’s top cocaine market.

Authorities are investigating links between the two operations.
