>> RAINBOW WARRIOR, TUI AND MORE FLOTILLA SHIPS SET SAIL FOR
MORUROA

AUCKLAND Friday 11 August, 1995 (GP) The SV Rainbow Warrior is to
set sail for Moruroa atoll from Suva, Fiji on Sunday August 13th,
two months to the day that President Chirac announced plans to
resume nuclear testing in September.

A press conference will take place aboard the Rainbow Warrior at
10.30am on Sunday to announce details of the ship's voyage. A
farewell will start at 11am and the ship will depart at 12 noon.

The Rainbow Warrior will be joined at Moruroa by the MV
Greenpeace and a flotilla of vessels from Tahiti, Chile, New
Zealand, Australia, the United States, the Cook Islands and
Germany.

On Saturday 12 August the HMNZS Tui will depart for Moruroa with
two New Zealand MPs on board. It leaves from Captain Cook Wharf,
Auckland at 11.00am, arriving at Moruroa in late August.

Other boats leaving soon include the Colonial Heritage and the
Tara, both sailing under German flags from Rarotonga, the Lady
Sephora and Stardust 48 both leaving from Tahiti, and the Maluhia
departing from Tonga. Other boats are due to leave from New
Zealand, Australia, the Cook Islands and Tahiti over the next few
weeks.

On 9 August the US boat Manutea (112ft) left San Francisco bound
for Moruroa.  The MV Greenpeace will reach Panama this Sunday and
the Vega is due to leave Tahiti this weekend, both bound for
Moruroa.
