IOI Palm Oil Company Blockade in Rotterdam Harbour
Greenpeace activists close off access for all imports and exports from palm oil trader IOI in the harbour of Rotterdam, palm oil’s gateway into Europe. The Greenpeace ship Esperanza has moored to the dock at the back of the refinery, preventing palm oil being unloaded from incoming oil tankers. Members of the canoe team are blocking the second pier. At the end of the afternoon the action is being ended by the police. The police visits the Esperanza to have a talk with the captain Joël Stewart and action leader Theo de Winter.
In original language:
Greenpeace Blokkeert IOI Palmolie Bedrijf Rotterdam
Greenpeace actievoerders blokkeren de toegang tot de palmolie raffinaderij IOI in Rotterdam zowel aan de voor- als aan de achterzijde. Aan de achterzijde gebeurt dit met behulp van het schip de Esperanza en een aantal kano's. Zij verhinderen zo het aanmeren van schepen met palmolie aan beide kades. Aan het eind van de middag wordt de actie door de politie beeindigd. Hierna brengt een politie officier een bezoek aan de Esperanza en heeft een gesprek met kapitein Joël Stewart en de actieleider Theo de Winter.

IOI Palm Oil Company Blockade in Rotterdam Harbour
Greenpeace activists close off access for all imports and exports from palm oil trader IOI in the harbour of Rotterdam, palm oil’s gateway into Europe. Palm oil from companies involved in forest destruction, peatland fires and child labour is still flowing into Europe and the US through IOI facilities, a new report by Greenpeace International has revealed. Two Indonesian men who have been directly affected by forest fires are blocking access to the refinery with eight activists. The Greenpeace ship Esperanza has moored to the dock at the back of the refinery, preventing palm oil being unloaded from incoming oil tankers.
IOI suppliers are linked to serious environmental and human rights abuses such as destruction of Indonesian rainforests, starting illegal fires and child labour. Palm oil from these companies continues to flood into Europe and the USA, research by Greenpeace reveals.
