Their tactics are aimed at disrupting their operation. Not destroying the ships or murdering, maiming or capturing the whalers.
As for these safe-havens. Al Qaeda safe havens exist in nations which are also at odds with the West. New Zealand and Australia as well as many of the other nations opposed to whaling (The United States included) have an otherwise more than friendly relationship with Japan.

This is from their website:
Victory for the Whales in Berlin - Sea Shepherd
Since 1979, Sea Shepherd crew and agents have sent ten illegal whaling ships to the bottom:
1979 - The pirate whaler "Sierra" rammed and sunk in Portugal. 1980 - The outlaw whalers "Isba I" and "Isba II" sunk in Vigo, Spain.
1980 - The pirate whalers "Susan" and "Theresa" sunk in South Africa. 1981 - The illegal whaling ships "Hvalur 6" and "Hvalur 7" sunk in Iceland.
1992 - The outlaw whaler "Nybraena" sunk in Norway. 1994 - The pirate whaler "Senet" sunk in Norway.
1998 - The pirate whaler "Morild" sunk in Norway.
But you are right about the kidnapping. It was the Sea Shepard guys who were captured when they boarded a Japanese ship.
