Protestors have broken into the Navigator terminal in Thurrock
Campaigners are sat in the roof at the terminal
Just Stop Oil claims around 25 of its campaigners have made it into the Navigator terminal in Thurrock this morning.
It's the sixth day of protests against the use of oil in the county.
As of yesterday, Essex Police had arrested over 190 people in connection with the protests.
The group says its campaigners have climbed on top of the loading bay and are locked on with banners.
Essex Police Assistant Chief Constable Rachel Nolan said: “Thankfully, we have been able to keep the disruption caused to the affected businesses to a minimum and all but one are now reporting business as usual.
“There is a small number of people who continue to protest, and we are working to resolve this as quickly and – most importantly – as safely as possible.
“We are continuing to work alongside our key partners on this issue and our priority has always been to bring this incident to a safe conclusion and to bring the areas affected back to normality as quickly as possible.
“I want to again emphasise that policing is not anti-protest; we will always endeavour to facilitate protest where we can.
“However, we must be robust when laws have been broken, that is what our community expects of us. That means making arrests when other options have been exhausted and, where we can, pursuing action against those who we believe have broken the law.
“We are in dialogue with the Crown Prosecution Service, as well as other forces, as we seek to achieve that.”
