Greenpeace ships

Greenpeace activists on inflatable boat watch on as the Rainbow Warrior sails through Guimaras after the activists climbed up the Shell's oil refinery in Tabangaw Batangas. The action was carried out to send a sharp reminder to the oil company to attend the world-first investigation led by the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines into how climate-related human rights harms are fueled by their business of extracting and marketing fossil fuels. © Jilson Tiu / Greenpeace

After a 5-month journey across Southeast Asia, the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior arrives at Port Klang in Selangor to raise awareness on environmental protection and to engage with local partners and supporters for a meaningful action on plastic pollution.

The Greenpeace vessel 'MY Esperanza' sets sail from the port of Cebu, Republic of the Philippines for the Pacific Leg of the Greenpeace 'Defending Our Oceans' global expedition. Yellow Fin and Big Eye tuna stocks in the Central and Western Pacific are destined to be critically over-fished within three years if the relentless fishing of the two Tuna species continues at current rates. Greenpeace are calling for an immediate end to pirate fishing, a 50% reduction in the amount of Pacific tuna caught, and a global network of Marine Reserves. © Greenpeace / Alex Hofford

Acclaimed Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi performs one of his own compositions on a floating platform in the Arctic Ocean, in front of the Wahlenbergbreen glacier (in Svalbard, Norway). The composition, Elegy for the Arctic, was inspired by eight million voices from around the world calling for Arctic protection. The Greenpeace ship the Arctic Sunrise carried Einaudi, the grand piano and eight million voices to Svalbard. Greenpeace is urging the OSPAR Commission that meets this week (20-24 June, 2016) in Tenerife, not to miss the opportunity to protect international Arctic waters under its mandate. © Pedro Armestre / Greenpeace
