Greenpeace activists prevented four pirate fishing trawlers from 
leaving Rostock harbour with chains and oil drums. One vessel was 
chained to the harbour wall and hung with a banner reading 'Stop 
pirate fishing'. A fifth trawler left Rostock last night - all five 
are on the EU blacklist for having been engaged in illegal, 
unregulated and unreported fishing - also know as pirate fishing - in 
the Atlantic. All have recently changed names and flags and were 
trying to leave port to plunder the high seas again.
