hey from shell to sea campaign

Hey up, hope this finds you well...

Thanks to actions against the ship in Mayo and loads of solidarity protests around the world,
last September we halted the the world’s biggest pipelaying ship.
In a real David and Goliath battle, with only rubber dinghies and wetsuits, we blocked the Solitaire. Local fisherman also tried to keep the Solitaire out of their fishing waters & a local woman went on hunger strike until the Solitaire left Irish Waters.
Luckily the Solitaire left after 11 days.

However the Solitaire is due back soon, probably April-May 2009.

ACTIONS AGAINST ALLSEAS

The Solitaire is owned by Allseas, who are doing stalls in a few places in Belgium & the Netherlands over the next few months. Any protests against these would be great: the Solitaire is not welcome in Ireland.

We know we can win this and it would be fantastic to see even more
people helping to block the Solitaire!

COME TO IRELAND!
Everyone will receive safety training and there's accommodation + meals available.
If you are interested in getting involved, coming to visit this amazing place or doing solidarity actions wherever you are, please do get in touch.
