Greenpeace forced a Scottish company to stop drilling off Greenland
Greenpeace claims it has forced a Scottish company to stop drilling off Greenland after four activists climbed onto an oil rig.
Greenpeace said in a Tuesday statement that the activists had breached a 1,650-feet security perimeter around the Stena Don rig off western Greenland, triggering a shutdown.
Danish police, however, say they are unaware of the incident.
Last week a Greenpeace ship anchored near the rig as part of a campaign to protest deepwater oil drilling. Police have been monitoring the activists from a nearby naval ship.
Scotland-based Cairn Energy PLC recently announced that it has discovered natural gas in the area.
