Action against Toxic Cargo Ship in Turkey
Greenpeace intercepted a European cargo vessel as it illegally attempted to enter a Turkish shipbreaking yard with dangerous toxic waste on board. The vessel "Sea Beirut" was towed from France to be scapped at Aliaga, one of Turkey's notorious ship breaking yards with asbestos still on board. Six Greenpeace activists climbed onto the ship and demanded that it returns to France. Climbers hung a banner reading "Stop Toxic Ship Trade" and displayed a toxic logo of a skull and cross bones to warn that the ship contained dangerous toxic waste. In the image, side-view of "Sea Beirut" with some Greenpeace activists on board of an inflatable boat.
