The occupation in the Port of Timaru<\/a> has now rolled over the 30 hour mark, with protestors vowing to stay put in order to delay OMV\u2019s support vessel, the Skandi Atlantic, from servicing the oil company\u2019s drill rig off the coast of Taranaki.<\/p>\n\nOMV is about to begin drilling three oil wells there and one in the\nGreat South Basin off the Otago coast, where it will undertake the riskiest\nkind of oil drilling, at extreme depths.<\/p>\n\n
On Sunday at dawn, about 30 people including a team of\nGreenpeace climbers, stormed aboard the Skandi, locking themselves to various\nareas of the boat.<\/p>\n\n
Greenpeace climate campaigner, Amanda Larsson, says the\nprotestors are equipped with enough gear and food to stay on board for a number\nof days.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cThis amazing team of people have just spent their first\nnight on board OMV\u2019s henchboat, and are feeling warm, dry, and in high spirits.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been especially heartened by the Timaru locals, who\nhave been coming down to the port with hot drinks, food, and blankets to show\ntheir support. <\/p>\n\n
“OMV\u2019s 34,000 tonne oil rig is right now around 50 nautical miles\noff the Taranaki Coast. Its remote location means it\u2019s nearly impossible for\nordinary New Zealanders to take peaceful action to confront it directly.<\/p>\n\n
“We\u2019ve brought the resistance here to disrupt its chain of support.\nWe won\u2019t let this rig carry out its climate-destroying activities quietly, out\nof sight and mind.”<\/p>\n\n
OMV is one of just 100 companies that have caused over 70% of the\nworld\u2019s climate emissions.<\/p>\n\n
Hundreds of people from around the country are now preparing to travel\nto OMV\u2019s headquarters in New Plymouth, where a three-day public demonstration\nwill be kicking off on December 2.<\/p>\n
