These incidents could not have happened. NAUTICAL LOG has contacted NUMAST, The Netherlands, and Australia and did not receive even a courtesy acknowledgement of its e-mails. Clearly they are not in the least interested - until somebody gets killed. In fact in these latest incidents Sea Shepherd HAVE had people injured, this information came from on board personnel.

This is a classic example of what happens when one vessel tries to overtake another too close to the stern. The bow gets sucked right into the quarter near the propellar. Even with hard over rudder the bow gets pulled in. I realize that the Irwin was't trying to overtake, but they were in the position where that usually happens. Might not have been intentional.
