It's probably very expensive patrolling waters 1000 nautical miles from your shores.

What incentive does Portuguese authorities have to do this, especially considering the cocaine would've likely just been shipped off to buyers in other parts of the EU and not affect Portugal as much

That's like saying "thousands of miles from California" when something is a few miles from Hawaii.

The article kind of buries it but it was intercepted near the Azores, which are Portuguese territory and policed accordingly. They weren't patrolling in the middle of nowhere.

Also they probably got spotted by drone or something before the surface vessels got sent in to check it out.
