Greenpeace Ships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our ships are fundamental to Greenpeace campaigns, from obstructing nuclear tests in the Pacific to stopping illegal timber shipments in the Amazon. They conduct research, provide humanitarian aid, and collaborate worldwide to protect our oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These ships also serve as platforms for education and advocacy. They host workshops, training sessions, and public events to engage communities, inspire activism, and foster a global movement for environmental protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
