A second LNG carrier has been hit by environmental activists Greenpeace in a protest off Spain against the use of fossil gas and the country's use of it.

The 138,000-cbm Merchant (built 2003) was daubed on its hull's port side with the slogan "No + Gas" by protestors in inflatables while other carried banners reading "El gas no es el futuro" or "Gas is not the future".
