Her first campaigning trip was to Mururoa to protest against French nuclear testing, however, where she assumed the tasks of the Rainbow Warrior, destroyed shortly before. The MV Greenpeace later sailed all the world's seas, protesting against driftnetting in the South Atlantic, the discharge of toxic substances into the Mediterranean, and the dumping of Russian nuclear waste in the Sea of Japan.Im Einsatz / In Service: seit/since 1985.

Sie wurde vor dem Einsatz im Eis mit einem verstaerkten Bug, einem Kran und modernen Kommunikations- und Navigationssystemen ausgeruestet. Ihre erste Aktionsfahrt ging jedoch ins franzoesische Atomtestgebiet nach Moruroa, wo sie 1985 die Aufgaben der kurz zuvor zerstoerten Rainbow Warrior uebernahm. Die MV Greenpeace war spaeter auf allen Weltmeeren unterwegs, u.a. gegen Treibnetzfischerei im Suedatlantik, gegen toxische Einleitungen im Mittelmeer und gegen russische Atommuellverklappung im Japanischen Meer.Locations:Irish SeaDate:1 Jun, 1990Credit:© Greenpeace / Steve MorganMaximum size:2701px X 4064pxKeywords:Aerial view-Day-KWCI (GPI)-MV Greenpeace-Nuclear (campaign title)-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Rainbows-Seas-SeascapesShoot:Nuclear Freighters Pacific Pintail and Mediterranean ShearwaterMV GREENPEACE tracking nuclear freighter Pacific Pintail carrying Japanese spent nuclear fuel in the Irish Sea en route to Barrow.
