Greenpeace vessel denied access to Russian waters

摘要

Moscow—Russia has denied the Greenpeace icebreaker Arctic Sunrise access to the Kara Sea in the Arctic, where the environmental organization was planning to protest against exploration work by oil majors Rosneft and ExxonMobil. Russia’s Northern Sea Route Administration denied the latest entry application by Greenpeace on the grounds that the information provided on the vessel’s ice strengthening was insufficient, Greenpeace said in a statement on Wednesday.
