The two men, aged 51 and 21, were arrested at a property at Derwent Park this morning in relation to the seizure of drugs from the Spirit of Tasmania in December.
Both men have been changed with trafficking in a controlled substance and were bailed to appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court in August.
Detective Acting Inspector Nikala Parsons of the Serious Organised Crime division said the operation had significantly disrupted the criminal activities linked to outlaw motorcycle gangs in the state.
“We are continuing to work closely with our partners at the AFP NAGS to target criminal gang activities,” she said.
These arrests come as a large-scale police operation was conducted at Dover last week, where five people were charged.
