Ship carrying GM maize expected to make another bid to dock this morning.

Authorities are expected this morning to make a fourth attempt to bring a huge ship carrying GM maize into port in Bristol after Greenpeace protestors have prevented previous attempts.

Three Greenpeace climbers remain on the MV Etoile after boarding it at 6pm on Sunday.

A police helicopter landed on the ship last night and police climbers removed two protestors who were hanging off ropes above the propeller. 12 Greenpeace volunteers have so far been arrested.

Boarding the MV Etoile

Twelve Greenpeace volunteers have been arrested after they halted a giant cargo vessel laden with GM grain off the coast of Wales.

The 125,000 tonne MV Etoile was bound for Bristol, its GM cargo destined to be used as animal feed for the dairy farms which supply milk to Britain's biggest supermarkets.

GM maize was set for supermarket dairy cows

Greenpeace today prevented one of the world's biggest ships from docking at Bristol and unloading a huge cargo of American GM crops.

Four climbers from the environmental group used a jet boat and caving ladders to board the 125,000 tonne ship in the Bristol Channel. The Panamanian-registered MV Etoile has gone to anchor off Rhoose, South Wales.
