Greenpeace ship joined Global Sumud Flotilla
The 'Arctic Sunrise' has joined the Global Sumud Flotilla, which set sail from Barcelona to Gaza on April 12, 2026, stopping in Syracuse and Ierapetra on its mission. The vessel was participating alongside over 70 other vessels and more than 1,000 participants, with the aim of challenging the ongoing blockade of Israel, that was preventing vital aid from reaching the Gaza stripe. The 'Arctic Sunrise' intended to provide technical and operational support at sea to help the vessels safely cross the Mediterranean Sea, before the final 200 nautical miles to the Gaza coast. “The devastation in Gaza has set a dangerous precedent of impunity. Greenpeace is joining this initiative to demand safe and unhindered access for humanitarian aid and relief. This flotilla is a call to governments around the world to protect humanitarian work and act to uphold international law, human dignity and justice,” said Ghiwa Nakat, Secretary General of Greenpeace MENA (Middle East and North Africa). The most recent Sumud flotilla set sail in September 2025 with 42 boats and 462 participants. It was stopped at sea before reaching Gaza. Several ships were boarded after communications were disrupted. The participants were taken into custody and taken away from the area.
Crew member died in work accident
On Oct 20, 2025, a crew member of the "Arctic Sunrise" has died about 30 nautical miles off the coast of Malaga, while lowering boats with other colleagues. A total of five ended up falling into the water. The deceased suffered the impact of the boat falling from the vessel. Since then, two separate calls have been made to the Emergency Services to report the incident. The first reported incident was made around 6:00 p.m., shortly after the 'Arctic Sunrise' had departed from the port of Malaga, where it had been docked for several days. Given the seriousness of the crew member's condition, the Helimer SAR helicopter, based in Jerez de la Frontera, and the SAR boat 'Salvamar Alnitak', based in Malaga, were mobilised. The sea conditions, with waves over a meter high, made the rescue difficult. Although the 'Salvamar Alnitak' reached the scene about five minutes before the helicopter, the crews decided to wait for the arrival of the air rescue team, believing that this would save time on transport to a medical center. The victim was then hoisted and flown to the Malaga Airport aboard the helicopter, where it was attempted to resuscitate the victim. However, he ultimately died. The authorities were investigating the case. The Labour Inspectorate has been mobilised, as has the Occupational Risk Prevention Department.
BP Rig Zigzags in Chase with Greenpeace Ship
A BP drilling rig heading to an oilfield in the British North Sea has been forced to turn away twice over the past two days as a Greenpeace vessel protesting climate change tries to hamper its progress. The high-sea chase is the latest step in Greenpeace's nine-day effort to stop the 40,000 tonne Paul Loyd JNR rig from reaching the Vorlich oilfield to start its drilling campaign. The vessel left Cromarty Firth, north of Inverness, Scotland on Friday after police twice removed activists who had climbed and spent several days on one of the rig's legs. But it was forced to turn away twice from its destination over the past 48 hours as Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise vessel followed it, the activist group said. The Paul Loyd JNR is currently heading west towards Peterhead and away from the Vorlich field, according to Greenpeace and ship tracking websites.
