Dear Sir:
p,^
|?MO
Further to my letter No.PA-25 which in turn referred to your
letter No.C/l48-10/l(b), paragraph (ii), which stated :
"That no ccraniunication shall be carried out with any station
outside the Island of Bahrein, except with ships owned or
chartered by The Bahrein Petroleum Company Limited and that
communication with such ships shall in no case be attempted
when the vessel is more than three miles from the coastline
off the Island of Bahrein.
My Company requests that the limitation of the three mile limit
be deleted and that the permission granted shall not be limited to
Company ships or ships chartered by the Company but should be extended
to any ships coming to Bahrein to take away Company products.
You doubtless understand that we will maintain a Mooring Master
at Sitra who will also act as Pilot to inccming ships. When informed
of the approach of any ship he will proceed to the Outer buoy off the
north east coast of Muharraq, from which point he will guide the ship
to the sitra Anchorage.
One Radio Telephone Set will be maintained at sitra, the second
set will be carried by the Mooring Master to the incoming ship. For
reasons of safety it will be desirable for him to be in communication
with sitra during his trip to ship in small boat. After boarding
ship it will be important for shipping teminal personnel to be in
constant touch with the ship while she is approaching so that every
thing may be ready for the loading immediately after mooring.
