Greenpeace delays the docking of the timber carrier Skyman in the Port of Leixoes near Porto in Portugal. Inflatables launched from the Greenpeace ship The Arctic Sunrise were kept away from the vessel by harbour police, allowing the Skyman to unload it's cargo of timber from companies involved in illegal logging in Brazil.This protest exposes Portugal's role as a European gateway for illegal timber from the world's ancient forests. Portugal is the 5th largest importer of timber from the Brazilian Amazon.
