Orient-Prestige Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On May 26, 2012, Greenpeace activists staged a significant protest in São Luís, Brazil, by obstructing the cranes of the ore carrier 'Clipper Hope.' This bold action was motivated by the organization's commitment to raise awareness about the ongoing destruction of Amazon rainforests. Among the protesters, one individual donned a mask resembling Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, symbolically calling for action against environmental degradation. To carry out this operation, Greenpeace utilized the iconic 'Rainbow Warrior' ship, known for its role in environmental activism. At the time, the 'Clipper Hope' was transporting iron ore, which requires charcoal for its extraction—a product often sourced from the very trees of the rainforest that are being felled. This protest highlights the critical intersection between industrial practices and environmental preservation.
