Australia climate change protest forces ship to abort arrival at coal port, 138 arrested A climate change protest off the coast of Australia's New South Wales State forced an inbound ship to turn back from the country's largest terminal for coal exports on Sunday (November 24), the port operator said.
New South Police confirmed 138 arrests were made after protesters refused to comply with a direction to move away from the channel.
According to climate activist group Rising Tide, which has organised the protest, more than 100 protesters were in the shipping channel near the Port of Newcastle, as part of a 50-hour blockade that started on Friday (November 22).
A Port of Newcastle spokesperson said disruption due to the protest was "minimal" but that an inbound vessel "aborted due to people in the channel and has been rescheduled to come in".
