Dear Sin
In view of the recent grounding of the U.S.S. CACAPON
on Shah Allum Shoal, it Is understood that consideration is being
given to moving the light presently located on Stlffe Bank to
Shah Alluin Shoal*
This Company, as well as our friends the Arabian American
Oil Company, has always considered that Shah Allum Shoal was a
serious hazard to navigation particularly with respect to vessels
proceeding to and from Arabian and Bahrein ports, and the mouth
of the Gulf end that the Shoals should be lighted. This view is
also taken by the majority of the Ceptains of ships calling at
Bahrein whose opinions the Company has taken.
With respect to the moving of the light from Stlffe
Bank to Shah Allum Shoal, the Company does not wish to make a
recommendation which could be interpreted that we wished to
benefit the navigation to Bahrein and Arabia at the expense of
the navigation to Northern Gulf Ports and we l»ve the consideration
of this point to the appropriate officials* However, the Company
does strongly recommend the moving of the light if it is considered
that the moving of the light would not be detrimental to the navi
gation to Northern Gulf Ports. In any event, the Company strongly
recommends that a light be installed at Shah Allum Shoal to mark
this serious danger to navigation.
Yours very truly,
