Greenpeace Activists Board Shell North Sea Platforms
October 14, 2019
Greenpeace campaigners have boarded two Royal Dutch Shell oil platforms in a protest against leaving parts of old rigs in the North Sea, the environmental group said Monday.
The campaign group said in a statement that activists have scaled Shell’s Brent Alpha and Bravo platforms, which lie northeast of Scotland’s Shetland Islands and are no longer operational.
Climbers from Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands unfurled banners saying: “Shell, clean up your mess!” and “Stop Ocean Pollution”, according to photos issued by Greenpeace.
