Judge Fines Greenpeace as Portland Bridge Protesters Force Shell Ship Delay

Description

A federal judge in Alaska has ordered Greenpeace USA to pay a fine of $2,500 for every hour that protesters continue to block a Royal Dutch Shell icebreaker from leaving Portland, Oregon, for the Arctic. US district court judge Sharon Gleason ruled Thursday in Anchorage that Greenpeace is in civil contempt because of protesters dangling off a bridge in Portland, whom she said impeded the Shell vessel. The activists have been hanging from the bridge since Wednesday at approximately 3am PT, delaying the departure of the oil company’s 380ft Fennica icebreaker. According to the Columbia River Pilots website, the vessel was originally scheduled to leave on Wednesday at 4:45am.

Authorities hope that removing the bridge -- by cutting it into smaller sections and lifting them out -- will help rescuers recover all the victims' bodies and eventually reopen the crucial shipping lane.
