Sea Shepherd vloot
Neptune’s Navy serves to protect and defend the world’s oceans and marine wildlife.
Since 1977, a number of vessels have served in the Sea Shepherd fleet to protect marine wildlife in direct-action campaigns around the world. Today our international fleet includes nine ships and several smaller boats used in various ocean conservation campaigns. Five of these ships are owned and managed by Sea Shepherd Global: M/Y Steve Irwin, M/Y Ocean Warrior, M/Y Bob Barker, M/Y Sam Simon and M/Y Brigitte Bardot.

Overzicht
On January 26, 2015, at the annual Goed Geld Gala (Good Money Gala) hosted by the Dutch Postcode Lottery in Amsterdam, Sea Shepherd Global was awarded €8.3 million for a “Dream Project” vessel built to "Stop Illegal Fishing in the Southern Ocean". It was constructed by Dutch shipbuilder Damen in the port of Antalya, Turkey, and christened Ocean Warrior in September 2016. Its maiden voyage was M/Y Operation Nemesis, Sea Shepherd’s 11th Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign, in 2016/2017. Interesting Fact: The M/Y Ocean Warrior is Sea Shepherd’s first custom-built ship, and the fastest in its fleet, reaching speeds up to 30 knots.
