"MV Matthew" redirects here. Not to be confused with MV Matthew I, a suspected drug-runner scuttled in 2013.
MV Matthew, a Panamanian-flagged, nominally Marshallese-owned bulk carrier, was interdicted and stormed by soldiers of the Irish Army Ranger Wing on 26 September 2023 after refusing to stop for the Irish Naval Service's LÉ William Butler Yeats. Matthew, known as MV Honmon until shortly before the incident, had been monitored for weeks based on information from the United States Drug Enforcement Agency as relayed through the Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre—Narcotics, and had apparently attempted to rendezvous with the Irish trawler Castlemore before Castlemore became trapped in a sandbank and Matthew experienced engine trouble. After Matthew moved erratically toward William Butler Yeats, the latter fired warning shots (the first fired in anger by the Irish Navy since 1984) and Rangers took Matthew by force from a helicopter. The raid resulted in the seizure of 2,253 kilograms (4,967 lb) of South American cocaine, worth approximately €157 million, the largest drugs seizure in Irish history. At least nine arrests ensued, with one person subsequently released.
