Forests Indonesia Tour

Greenpeace activists circle the Vietnamese vessel, Ha Tihn 06 with a banner reading "stop forest crime" Greenpeace today assisted the Indonesian Navy to expel the vessel, as part of a blockade in Central Kalimantan that has been ongoing for 10 days. The Ha Tinh 06, owned by the Vietnamese government and registered in Hai Phong, has been waiting in the Kumai Bay area for ten days, but has been prevented from loading due to the sustained Greenpeace presence. Activists from Greenpeace led the Navy patrol boat to the site. Greenpeace has evidence the Ha Tinh 06 attempted to illegally load flitches [squared logs] on the 23 rd of February, in contravention of Ministerial Decree. The Ha Tinh 06 has been under suspicion of preparing to load an illegal cargo since February the 14th but has now been ordered by the Navy to leave Indonesian waters.
