Abstract

This is the first of a three-case series. In April 1995 Greenpeace boarded a Shell oil platform named 'Brent Spar' in the North Sea to protest its scheduled disposal in the Atlantic. This action took the operator Shell Expro (a joint venture between Shell and Esso) totally by surprise, as this was the first protest of any kind that Shell management had encountered. The case describes the reasons why Shell wanted to dispose of the Brent Spar Platform in the deep sea and why Greenpeace rejects these plans.
