GREENPEACE & SHELL MEET TO DISCUSS BRENT SPAR OIL STORAGE BUOY

Greenpeace UK's executive director, Peter Melchett, and Shell UK chairman Dr Chris Fay, yesterday revealed they had met on Wednesday to discuss the future of Shell's redundant Brent Spar oil storage buoy.

Shell said it was now considering over 200 different ways of re-using the giant structure or disposing of it on-shore instead of sea-dumping it and said it would consult Greenpeace before making a final disposal application to the Government.
