10 Years Brent Spar
The Brent Spar was decommissioned in 1991 and the owners, oil company Shell, decided to sink it at the bottom of the North Atlantic. Greenpeace instigated a campaign that gained the support of thousands of people and after three months of protest Shell announced that it was no longer going to sink the Spar and instead towed it to Norway to be moored in a fjord, dismantled and recycled as the foundation for a new quay in Mekjarvik. Clipreel features footage from the GP occupation of the Brent Spar; actions against Shell in Germany; the towing and scrapping of the Spar in Erfjord, Norway; recycling quay Mekjarvik in Stavanger, Norway; present day North Sea oil fields; water sampling around Dunlin Platform in North Sea and statements by Angela Merkel, former German Minister of Environment; Jochen Vorfelder, former GP team-leader; Harald Zindler, former GP team-leader; Arvid Nygaard, Project Manager Maritime GMC AS; Karsten Smid , GP oil expert and Christian Bussau, GP Marine Expert.
