ISThe Icelandic Ministry of Justice has stated that measures will be taken if the ship 'Bandero', operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, continues to pose a threat to maritime safety. The ministry emphasized that the issue is not about whaling but about ensuring the safety of seafarers. The ship arrived in Iceland over the weekend with the stated goal of stopping whaling activities. The ministry plans to assess the situation based on the level of risk posed by the vessel. The Icelandic Coast Guard has been monitoring the ship since Sunday evening, though its exact location remains unclear. The ship has not approached the whaling vessels 'Hvalur 8' and 'Hvalur 9'. Both whaling ships have landed several whales recently due to poor weather conditions. The head of the whaling company Hvals, Kristján Loftsson, has not responded to requests for comment from the media.
