Rainbow Warrior Public Viewing Time

By

The Greenpeace vessel, Rainbow Warrior, docked in the Port of Port Elizabeth on Friday morning at 09h00. She will be in Port Elizabeth until 23 February.

The vessel will be open for public viewing on Sunday, 22 February 2015 from 10h00 to 15h00.

Rainbow Warrior is docked at Berth 100 – Car Terminal.

The public are encouraged to use the Jetty Street entrance to gain access to the Port for viewing.

Rainbow Warrior St Francis
Earlier this week, the Rainbow Warrior joined in the St Francis local community’s demand for ?#?NoNuclear saying; “Just 10km from Cape St. Francis, ?Eskom? plans to build a new nuclear power plant which is a terrible idea for the future of these locals and South Africa’s power in general. RenewableEnergy? is the solution!”

The Rainbow Warrior is the third ship of that name to sail for Greenpeace, and the first one built from scratch. Her cutting-edge sailing rig and E-drive engine vastly reduce fuel consumption, and the ship is equipped with a helicopter deck, four boats and space for press conferences and other presentations. The Rainbow Warrior is brilliantly designed for her mission to sail around the world campaigning for a green and peaceful future.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
