Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise continues to follow BP rig & its support ships in North Sea and broll of Greenpeace ship. Update soundbite from Sarah North, Greenpeace campaigner.
The BP rig is the 'Paul B Loyd Jr', owned by Transocean, wasdue to drill at the Vorlich field for new oil wells, operated by BP.
BP is the operator, Transocean the owner, the same as the Deepwater Horizon.
Greenpeace is calling on BP to halt drilling for new oil in light of the climate emergency and refocus their business on renewable energy. Greenpeace had days earlier occupied the rig before it left port in Scotland.
