Greenpeace and Extinction Rebellion campaigners blocked a tanker from delivering Russian oil to Norway on Monday, chaining one of their boats to the giant vessel in a protest against the war in Ukraine, Greenpeace said.
The Ust Luga product tanker is anchored outside Exxon Mobil’s Slagen oil terminal about 70km south of the capital Oslo, according to vessel tracker Marine Traffic.
Activists in a red rubber dinghy chained their vessel to the tanker’s anchor chain as they sought to prevent the offloading of a cargo estimated at 95,000 tonnes of oil, Greenpeace said in a statement.
