A notice that Turkish ships threatened to sink ENI's drill ship SAIPEM 12000, was a missed opportunity to do some good for Portugal in our opinion. But got to say that the Saipem captain or had balls of steel or was just "following" orders from ENI ... But had it happened it would have really put a halt to ENI's attempt to drill our beautiful coast. At least for a while ... as it stands, the threat that the Saipem 12000 will be in Portuguese waters shortly is very real. http://asmaa-algarve.org/en/news/what-s-new/turkish-ships-threaten-to-sink-eni-s-drill-vessel-saipem-12000 If you haven't donated to our legal fund, please do so now ... if you have we THANK YOU!
