Greenpeace blocks tanker in Antwerp
Greenpeace activists delayed the 'Seychelles Pioneer' on April 9, 2022, at the Port of Antwerp with a load of diesel. After entering the North Sea, she transited westward through the Strait of Dover, then doubled back and entered Antwerp's approaches. She reached the Zandvlietzluis locks and entered the inbound lock chamber at about 9 p.m. GMT. Ten Greenpeace protesters chained themselves to the drawbridge at the far end of the lock, blocking the tanker's onward progress. Police intervened after several hours and cleared the protest, but the 'Seychelles Pioneer' was held in the locks until April 10 at about 05.45 a.m. delaying her arrival by about nine hours.
