I don't think Greenpeace has any justified reason to be boarding that ship. They're lucky they weren't seen as potential pirates and shot at. I don't support Greenpeace's actions generally and think that they're counterproductive because they tend to draw attention to the protestors but not the reasons. Same with those idiots that harass the whalers. Neither group seems to offer viable alternatives to whatever they are protesting.

I think they're completely justified. Whether I support the action or not depends on its effectiveness in terms of promoting positive change, and I'm not sure of that. If they didn't think they were having a positive effect, they wouldn't bother.
