Greenpeace is a "Raise Awareness" organization. Publicity and a good relationship with the press are it's core functions.

Raising Awareness is the contemporary 'last refuge of a scoundrel'. Greenpeace lost any broad credibility as a maverick campaigning organisation a long time ago, it's now just another MOTR 'charitable' org that overspends on admin, salaries and PR.

Probably on it's way back from NZ to Europe?
"After its launch in Bremerhaven, Germany, the new Rainbow Warrior toured ports in Europe (Hamburg, Amsterdam, London, Stockholm and Barcelona) welcoming supporters on board the new ship and holding specific events such as onboard concerts. The ship was also visited by celebrity supporters such as Radiohead's Thom Yorke, who was part of the ship's maiden voyage.[8] and 2 Michelin starred chef Diego Guerrero in Barcelona.[9] In January 2012, the ship travelled to the East Coast of the USA, planning to dock at New York City, Baltimore, Southport, North Carolina, Fort Lauderdale and St. Petersburg, Florida.[10] In March 2013, the ship travelled to Australia.
