Three men have faced a Sydney court after a vessel allegedly filled with drugs was intercepted off the coast of Newcastle.
They were arrested following a joint operation between Federal and NSW Police and the Australian Border Force.
The three crew members have been refused bail and remain in custody.
The vessel has been taken to Balmain where the drugs are being unloaded and forensically examined.
Police are expected to provide more details later this morning.
