Yesterday Greenpeace activists in two inflatable boats intercepted a ship in France, the Izmir Castle, carrying 15,000 tonnes of palm kernel from Indonesia in the port of Montoir-de-Bretagne. The Greenpeace activists painted "Climate Crime" on the hull of the cargo ship, while eleven other activists climbed on the top of three cranes unloading the cargo. They also unfurled banners reading "Funding for forest protection, not their destruction".
