Shell demands compensation after Greenpeace action on oil platform
SUNDAY, 12 FEBRUARY 2023: Reporting by ANP and NL Times
Greenpeace said it has received a claim for damages from Shell over the occupation of an oil rig by activists from the environmental organization. The oil and gas company is demanding 100,000 pounds (113,000 euros), in part because Greenpeace activists placed solar panels and a wind turbine on the floating platform. The platform is on its way to the port of the Norwegian city of Haugesund.
According to Greenpeace, Shell also demanded that the four activists on the so-called FPSO, a floating oil production and storage platform, leave the ship. They are activists from Argentina, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. They call on Shell to stop drilling for oil and gas and pay for the environmental damage caused by burning fossil fuels.
On Twitter, Greenpeace UK wrote that if someone “earned £40,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year.”Shell said it enforced the injunction because of the “dangerous and illegal occupation of a vessel carrying an important commodity on a busy shipping route.” The company’s spokesperson called the demand proportionate and said the intervention was necessary to “protect people and preserve property.”
Earlier, a British judge ordered the activists to leave the platform. Under international rules governing shipping at sea, ships are often not allowed to come closer than 500 meters to installations such as oil platforms because it can be unsafe. A London court therefore ruled that the Greenpeace ships Arctic Sunrise and Sea Beaver must keep this distance from the White Marlin. The latter vessel was used by the Dutch company Boskalis to bring the FPSO to Norway.
Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
