On October 14, Indonesian authorities intercepted the MT Global 168 tanker outside the waters of North Sumatra, seizing 1.16 tons of ketamine and boarding eight crew members, according to Suyudi Ario Seto, deputy head of the National Narcotics Task Force. The operation involved collaboration between the police, the National Narcotics Agency, customs, and maritime police.

The pursuit of the vessel began on October 14 when it was tracking nearby Malaysian waters before heading north towards Aceh and Thailand. Police noticed discrepancies in the ship's automatic identification system, which showed two different names, MT Global and Gross Dolphin. Seven Indonesian nationals and one foreign national were detained, along with 58 units of ketamine, communication equipment, and the tanker itself.
