An Israeli container ship was prevented from docking Monday at the Prince Rupert, B.C., port after a group of about 10 protesters — whose aim is to block Israel from shipping goods to North America — formed a picket line at an entrance to the Fairview container terminal. The container ship, the Volans — owned by Israeli shipping company ZIM — was anchored in Prince Rupert's harbour for most of the day Sunday. After confirming with the Prince Rupert Port Authority that the Volans would not be unloading in Prince Rupert, protestors left the entrance, allowing the port to continue with other business. CBC has reached out to the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the shipping company ZIM and DP World — The Fairview Terminal Operator — for comment, but has not yet heard back.
