Captain Watson says the Japanese fleet "refuels illegally".
"They bring a supply vessel in. You're not allowed to do that but they do it anyway and nobody does anything. We don't have that luxury.
"Australia should have a boat down in these areas, especially in the Australian Antarctic Territory, where there seems to be no monitoring of exploitation of anything - whales or fish or anything."

After chasing the Japanese whaling fleet for 2,000 miles from the extreme Western end of their hunting territory near Commonwealth Bay in the Australian Antarctic Territory, to the Eastern side of the Ross Sea, the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin has been forced to cut off the pursuit to return to land for refueling.
