Greenpeace vows to stop rig reaching oil field

Greenpeace activists have vowed to continue attempts to prevent an oil rig from reaching the North Sea.

The Transocean rig was towed out of the Cromarty Firth on Friday night after a six-day occupation by protesters was ended by the police.

The rig is heading to the Vorlich oil field east of Aberdeen.

But Greenpeace said its Arctic Sunrise ship is now sailing towards the 27,000 tonne rig "to play her part in thwarting BP's plans".

And Greenpeace isn't using a sailboat to get there I suppose?

If their efforts lead to harm or loss of life then someone needs to be held criminally liable.
