Greenpeace climber prevents palm oil tanker leaving Dumai port

As part of the Forests For Climate tour in Indonesia, the crew of the Greenpeace ship Esperanza have taken direct action against ships loaded with palm oil in the Sumatran port of Dumai.

A Greenpeace climber from the MY Esperanza climbs the anchor chain of the tanker Gran Couva, loaded with 27,000 metric tonnes of palm oil bound for Rotterdam, and braves the crew's water hoses.
