It only takes one person to stop a giant palm oil tanker | |
| From our blog: We stepped up our game in Dumai and returned to the scene of our first paint job: the Gran Couva. After going back to the Esperanza for a break, some boat cleaning and a spot of lunch (who says direct action can’t be civilised?), a team returned to the palm oil tanker but this time the action hinges on just one person, attached to the Gran Couva’s anchor chain. A Greenpeace climber made his way up the chain and positioned himself so they couldn’t lift the anchor. This means the ship can’t leave the port and this will cause considerable inconvenience to Wilmar, the company that owns the cargo of palm oil. As the occupation carried on overnight and into the following day, the harbour master called our captain and asked if the man on the anchor chain would kindly move to a different ship. You can listen to the conversation below. | |
