The Class A drugs, amounting to almost a tonne of cocaine, were seized after the container they were in sailed from Nicaragua via Panama to the UK.
Acting in partnership with the National Crime Agency, Border Force officers opened the container and discovered 943kg of cocaine, with a street value of around £75m, among pallets of bananas.
On Wednesday, March 18, two men were charged with importing Class A drugs.
Daniel Dumitru, 37, of Reginald Road, Smethwick, West Mids, and Andrew Smyth, 46, of West Park Gardens, Prenton, Merseyside, were due to appear at Southampton Magistrates Court on March 19.
NCA branch commander Saju Sasikumar said: “This is a massive amount of cocaine which was destined for the streets of the UK.
“The supply of Class A drugs badly damages society by bringing violence and addiction to our communities.
“Seizing these drugs deprives the crime group behind the importation of huge profits that cannot be ploughed back into further offending.”
The date that the drugs were seized has not been confirmed by the NCA.
