Today, on day 10 of Maura Harrington's hunger strike, Shell finally issued a press release confirming that the Solitaire is leaving Irish waters this afternoon, heading to a UK port. Help needed to keep mounting pressure to get the vessel to permenantly stop its operation to lay the gas pipe line in Rossport.
After weeks of refusing to communicate with campaigners, including Maura Harrington who is currently on day 10 of her hunger strike, Shell announced finally that "the Solitaire will leave Killybegs today for a UK Port where deep water berthing facilities are available,".
We need to ensure that this retreat is permenant, and not a temporary measure. The Solitaire will need to dock somewhere in Britain, as soon as we get confirmation of where this maybe we will publish this information. In the mean time we call for anyone near a port to be aware that this vessel could be mooring at a port near you. Please prepare to give it the welcome it deserves!
The following ports are possible:
England:
Felixstowe
Liverpool
Southampton
Wales:
Port Talbot
Milford Haven - South Hook and Dragon LNG facilities
Redcar
Scotland:
Invergordon
Hunterston Terminal
Hound point
