But two new climbers, Andrew and Meena, have now boarded the structure and climbed up to a gantry on one of the legs.<\/p>\n<p>Rig workers notified the activists of an interdict \u2013 the Scottish law equivalent of an injunction \u2013 preventing them from accessing the rig, but Greenpeace UK is continuing the occupation in defiance of the injunction.<\/p>\n<p>The occupation started on Sunday evening and has now seen three separate climbing teams working in shifts to prevent the rig from reaching the Vorlich field, where it plans to drill a well giving BP access to 30 million barrels of oil.<\/p>\n<p><b>Greenpeace UK\u2019s executive director John Sauven said:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur climbers are back on the oil rig and determined to stay for as long as possible.

We can\u2019t give up and let oil giants carry on with business as usual because that means giving up on a habitable planet and our kids\u2019 future.
