Dear Sir#,
Light Buoy No.4 - Qatar Channel
Reference our QQ.8/4262 dated 4.6.49.
We quote hereunder for your information and necessary action text
of a memo we have received from Qatar;-
"This buoy has been located in Lat. 25° 45^ Long; 50° 48'E
due North of Hower Island distance 2 miles and is reported to
be still flashing.
Buoy positions all checked daily by daily service Nakhodas and
frequently by Jesoura and Jamila -when the latter two craft
traverse these channels.
Two attempts have been made to recover the buoy, both failed
owing to rough seas. Further efforts will be made when
suitable craft are available.
For the present these Light Buoys should be described as
^ ^ flashing white, the exact characteristics have not as yet been
established."
Yours faithfully,
for & on behalf of
petroieum development (qatar) limited,
m&nager.
