In past days, swimmers from a NGO flotilla hit entered the liquid in Raukumara Basin, soured New Zealand's East Cape, forcing a craft from the Brazilian state-owned lubricator company Petrobras soured course and disrupting its work.

Key said equalisation the rights of Petrobras and the protesters at seafaring was no different from a oppose on land.

He added the government believed there were opportunities for New Sjaelland in the lubricator and pedal exploration and that was ground Petrobras had been acknowledged an exploration licence.
