The Maltese tuna company that took on the Sea Shepherd and filed a civil lawsuit for damages in the English High Court is confident it can win the case.

“I hope justice wins. I’m confident we can win the case, otherwise we wouldn’t have pursued it in court,” Fish and Fish director Joe Caruana told The Sunday Times.

Mr Caruana said he had specifically waited for the tuna season to close before pursuing the case to avoid being accused of having ulterior motives to obstruct the Sea Shepherd’s mission.
 

The Steve Irwin, the flagship vessel of this non-profit marine wildlife conservation society, is being detained in Scotland – and will only be released against a bond of $1.4 million – after Fish and Fish claimed damages over an incident last summer off the Libyan coast.

In June 2010 the Steve Irwin had rammed the pen owned by Fish and Fish to free the bluefin tuna its crew believed was caught illegally, seriously injuring a Maltese diver in the process.
