On Thursday last week, Kenyan soldiers and security personnel raided the vessel Höegh Transporter when it berthed in Kenyan port town Mombasa. The ship is operated by Norwegian carrier Höegh Autoliners, in which A.P. Moeller-Maersk has since 2008 owned a major stake. According to several media, the raid happened due to suspicions that the vessel was carrying narcotics and perhaps also weapons. All access points to the port were blocked on Thursday when the raid began.
