A group of Greenpeace protesters have left the vessel carrying Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s (ADR) (NYSE:RDS.A) oil rig, six days after they illegally climbed it to register their protest against offshore drilling in Arctic, the environmental group said in a statement on Saturday.

The decision to abandon the vessel was prompted by rough weather conditions, claims Greenpeace. The call was made only hours before a US District Court judge ruled in favor of Shell, when the company filed a legal complaint against the activists.
