I saw this vessel at the Port this morning. Nothing exceptional except that a fence had been set all around to forbid access. A bit odd considering that you do not usually see this kind of actions in that part of the world. It then made me wonder why this could be? It could be linked to the fear any Green group might want to take this opportunity to board the boat as protests are still common and ongoing, especially in Australia, against the Japanese who continue the whaling - supposedely over the legal quota and also supposedely for research purposes. This vessel is not a whaling vessel but a Marine Research Vessel... Any info welcome.
