#OperationZeroTolerance **SAGA CONTINUES** The Yushin Maru No. 2 has made nine unsuccessful attempts to transfer the dead whale coming as close as 10 metres to the Bob Barker. The Bob Barker has not moved. The Nisshin Maru and the Yushin Maru No. 2 have deployed long lines to foul the propellers of the Bob Barker. The Bob Barker responded to this safety hazard by launching small boats, and has successfully cut both of the Yushin Maru No. 2’s hazardous propeller fouling lines. The small boats have also cut one of the two propeller fouling lines from the Nisshin Maru. The second was line pulled back onboard the Nisshin Maru by the whale poachers. The Yushin Maru No. 2 is still unable to pass between the Bob Barker and the Nisshin Maru.
