The following sentence is disputed by Greenpeace: "In January 2006 the MY Arctic Sunrise, an icebreaker operated by Greenpeace, collided with the Nisshin Maru." Greenpeace's website contains details here: http://oceans.greenpeace.org/en/our-oceans/whaling/antarctic-whaling/ramming

I propose rephrasing it in a way that respects the fact that it is disputed by the two parties concerned: "The Nisshin Maru and Greenpeace's MY Arctic Sunrise collided in December 1999 and in January 2006. "

[edit] Japanese Whaling Debate

I have deleted the extended section recently added on the whaling debate. The grammar was poor, the argument POV and anyway I can't see how a debate over public opinion poll figures on whaling belong in an article about a ship. It might be better to consider this material for the article Whaling in Japan. RomaC 04:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
