Anti-whaling protest ship collides with Japanese whaler
|
An anti-whaling protest ship collided with a Japanese whaling vessel in the Southern Ocean on Friday as the Japanese tried to haul a dead whale on board, said the anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
No one was injured in the collision, which caused minor damage to the stern of the Japanese ship, said the hardline anti-whaling group.
The Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin collided with the Yushin Maru 2 as the harpoon vessel tried to block its attempt to prevent the transfer of a dead whale up the slipway of the factory ship Nisshin Maru," said Steve Irwin Captain Paul Watson.
"We were in the process of blocking the transfer from the Yushin Maru 2 when the Yushin Maru 1 moved directly in front of the bow to block us," Watson said in a statement.
"I could not turn to starboard without hitting the Yushin Maru 1. I tried to back down but the movement of the Yushin Maru 2 made the collision unavoidable," he said.
