#1 Ok, the GreenPirates didn't pilot their dinghies all the way from Kiwiland, so they have a mother ship somewhere out there.
Japan can bribe some poor southern country (Argentina?) to provide a foreward base, fly in a couple of P-3s armed with Harpoon, and dispose of these pests once and for all.

#2 I see a submarine exercise out there, anyone's submarine will do.

Find 'em. Shoot 'em. Sink 'em.

Old Silent Service motto of WW2 still applies today.

#3 I would consider any hinderance to refuel my ship in dangerous waters as a threat to crew and ship. I would then find out what a harpoon does to a rubber dinghie. The pirates could prove me wrong and that the ocean conditions are not dangerous by just floating out in that antartic water until their mother ship arrives - and if I'm wrong I will apologize to them after their conviction for pirate and terrorist activities.

#4 Nice to se that they went ahead and finished what they started, and got the fuel and meat transferred. While the article says the hoses were aimed it doesn't specifically state they were charged.... mised an opportunity i think.
i like the jelly reference, but enviro-wacko jam leaves a nasty mess on the sides and is probably corrosive.
