In a protest yesterday, Greenpeace activists climbed a Royal Dutch Shell plc (ADR) (NYSE:RDS.A) oil rig, which was being transported to Seattle before being moved to the Arctic.
The Polar Pioneer oil rig on its way to a vessel called Blue Merlin was ascended by six Greenpeace activists after they followed it during its journey across the Pacific Ocean, as confirmed by a statement from Greenpeace. The activists – from Australia, Germany, Sweden, New Zealand, Austria, and the US – climbed the vessel more than 700 miles off the coast of Hawaii, using climbing lines. The organization has confirmed that the activists will not interrupt the navigation or other operations of the vessel.
