The Nisshin Maru is blasting the crew on the Steve Irwin with high pressure water hoses and LRAD sonic weapons. The harpoon vessels are passing closer and closer before the bow of the Steve Irwin to block the Sea Shepherd ship from interfering with their whaling operations.
The crew are a little dazed and dizzy from the LRAD's and many of them have been drenched with freezing water.
At 1800 Hours the harpoon vessels Yushin Maru No. 1 and the Yushin Maru No.3 decided to run the Sea Shepherd blockade to transfer two dead whales to the flensing deck of the Nisshin Maru. The Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin was blocking the slipway to prevent the transfer in order to shut down the illegal Japanese whaling operations.
As the Nisshin Maru attempted to hook onto the dead whale, the Steve Irwin and the Yushin Maru No.3 collided with the forward starboard side of the Steve Irwin and the port stern side of the harpoon vessel coming together.
Captain Watson said that the Steve Irwin became difficult to control under a barrage of metal objects, blasts from the water cannons, and the disorientation caused by the LRAD acoustic weapons that the whalers were using on the conservationists.
"I was dazed by the sonic blasts being used on us at close range." said Captain Watson. "I have to admit it was difficult to concentrate with that devise being focused on us."
スティーブ・アーウィン号 捕鯨船団と二度目の衝突
シドニー時間18時、勇新丸と第三勇新丸のハプーン船二隻はシーシェパードの海上封鎖を押し切り二頭のクジラを日新丸に搬送することを決めた。
シーシェパードのスティーブ・アーウィン号は日本捕鯨船団の違法捕鯨活動を停止させるため、日新丸船尾にある傾斜面をハプーン船からブロックした。
日新丸は第三勇新丸左舷に固定してあったクジラの死骸にホックを繋ごうとした際、第三勇新丸の左舷船尾とスティーブ・アーウィン号の右舷船首が衝突した。
「違法捕鯨活動を直ちに停止することを通告した。そうしなければ、工船日新丸の船尾をブロックし続けると」キャプテンポール・ワトソンは語る。「彼らは我々の固い意志を試
捕鯨船による金属片と高圧放水銃の攻撃、更に長距離音響発生装置の使用でスティーブ・アーウィン号の操作は困難になった。「近距離で音響発生装置を使用されたことに驚愕し
「あんな衝撃は今まで感じたことがなかった」カナダ・トロント出身のエミリー・ハンターと語る。「音響が全身を貫通し、筋肉が振動しているのが分かった。私は目まいを感じ
スティーブ・アーウィン号に目立った損傷は見られない。何人かのシーシェパード乗組員は捕鯨船から投げられたゴルフボールと金属片に打たれたが重傷者は出ていない。ハプー
スティーブ・アーウィン号による12時間の捕鯨活動停止・妨害の末、二頭のクジラが日新丸に運ばれた。
「私達は捕鯨船団の違法捕鯨活動をできるだけ困難な状態にした」南オーストラリア・アデレード出身のモリー・ケンダルは語る。「クジラが目の前で殺戮される姿を見ていられ
スティーブ・アーウィン号は今後も日本捕鯨船団によるクジラの密漁、また搬送作業を妨害するため日新丸の後方を航海するする予定だ。
「こんな危険な目に遭わなければいいのだが」とキャプテンワトソンは答える。「私は繰り返しオーストラリアかニュージーランドが日本を国際裁判所に起訴すればシーシェパー

Green Peace is just another cooperation more concerned about making money. I am surprised there hasn't been a secret operation to sink these killing ships once and for all.
