IOI Palm Oil Company Blockade in Rotterdam Harbour

Greenpeace activists close off access for all imports and exports from palm oil trader IOI in the harbour of Rotterdam, palm oil’s gateway into Europe. Two Indonesian men who have been directly affected by forest fires are blocking access to the refinery with eight Greenpeace activists. In the foreground sits Nilus Kasmi Seran (Nilus). He is an indigenous Dayak man from Ketapang, West Kalimantan, and is an architect by profession. In his hands he has a hand-written sign with the text: 'thank you for all the support #IOIcommitnow". 
In original language: 
Greenpeace Blokkeert IOI Palmolie Bedrijf Rotterdam 
Greenpeace actievoerders blokkeren de toegang tot de palmolie raffinaderij IOI in Rotterdam zowel aan de voor- als aan de achterzijde. Aan de voorzijde doen zij dit m.b.v. een paar boomstammen waaraan 10 actievoerders zich hebben vastgeketend. Twee van de actievoerders komen uit een van de gebieden in Indonesie waar de branden woeden. Op de voorgrond zit Nilus Kasmi Seran (Nilus). Hij is een indigenous Dayak man uit Ketapang, West Kalimantan. Hij is architect van beroep. In zijn handen houdt hij een handgeschreven bord met de tekst: 'thank you for all the support #IOIcommitnow".

IOI Palm Oil Company Blockade in Rotterdam Harbour

Greenpeace activists close off access for all imports and exports from palm oil trader IOI in the harbour of Rotterdam, palm oil’s gateway into Europe. Palm oil from companies involved in forest destruction, peatland fires and child labour is still flowing into Europe and the US through IOI facilities, a new report by Greenpeace International has revealed. Two Indonesian men who have been directly affected by forest fires are blocking access to the refinery with eight activists. The Greenpeace ship Esperanza has moored to the dock at the back of the refinery, preventing palm oil being unloaded from incoming oil tankers.
IOI suppliers are linked to serious environmental and human rights abuses such as destruction of Indonesian rainforests, starting illegal fires and child labour. Palm oil from these companies continues to flood into Europe and the USA, research by Greenpeace reveals.
