English term or phrase: had been side tracked
the ship Steve Irwin had been side tracked when it chased a vessel that turned out to be a Namibian Toothfish vessel. The Antalles Reefer registered in Walvis Bay was found at 0200 Hours. The vessel refused to give a fishing permit number and threatened the Steve Irwin by reporting that it was armed. The Captain of the Antalles Reefer claimed to speak only Russian. The Steve Irwin has a Russian speaking crewmember and during the conversation the Captain said he would resist with force if there was any interference with his operations.

potresti ance dire "aveva cambiato corso nell'inseguire un natante che si era rivelato essere un peschereccio di merluzzi namibico"

il nome scientifico di toothfish e' -dissotichus- tradotto nel sito indicato come"merluzzo" ma ovviamente esistono molte specie, quello namibico e' una di esse.
