Marking a fourth day of pickets at the Port of Oakland, protesters on Tuesday continued to stall a container ship operated by an Israeli company, officials said.

Protesters, who appeared at 5 a.m. at the port's Oakland International Container Terminal, said their presence on Tuesday once again effectively blocked the ZIM Piraeus from being unloaded, since longshoremen have refused to cross picket lines.

Port spokesman Robert Bernardo confirmed the ship remained unloaded.
