Persian
regulations
for the
navigation
of the
Kartin,
1888
would be constructed by the Persian Government to facilitate tranship
ment between the lower and the upper river 5 the exclusive right of navi
gation on the latter of these being at the same time reserved to the
Persian Government. The whole transaction was to be treated as secret
until a notification opening the river should have appeared in the Tehran
Gazette.
The promised notification^ it would seem^ was published without any
undue delay and embodied the Persian regulations for the navigation of
the Karun, which were conceived as follows :—
Karun Biver Regulations,
*The Persian Government in order to facilitate commerce, increase the wealth of the
country and render her lands profitable, has opened the river Karun, subject to the
following regulations, and has allowed the navigation from Muhammareh to Almz
by the merchantile marine of all nations. The vessels navigating the Karun will
carry out the regulations of the Government, which regulations shall hold good for ten
years without fail after which they will be modified according to the exigencies of
circumstances.
(1) The commercial steamers of merchants of friendly Governments must not
remain at the landing places or in the river longer than necessary for the purpose of
loading, unloading and provisioning themselves for the journey.
(2) Persons whose presence is detrimental to order and who would cause difficulties
by their presence should not be taken on board the vessels, whoever comes should be
provided with a passport from his own Government otherwise if any one arrives
without a passport it is impossible to understand what his business may be.
(3) TJuder no pretext whatsoever will any vessel have the right protect any Persian
subject in any way.
(4) The transport of arms is absolutely prohibited and if this rule is disregarded
the same will be seized,
(5) No explosive goods whatsoever shall be transported.
*rhis translation of the Karun Regulations is taken from Lieutenant A. T. Wilson's
Precis of the Relations> etc. t 1912, pages 90-91, where the author has subjoined to it
the following notes ;
t N ote 1. —Above translation was received on 27th October 1890 at Her Majesty's
Vice-Consulate, Muhammareh, from
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
, Bushire.
N ote 2.—As the " mercantile marine " is mentioned, protests have been made by the
h arguzar whenever, Eoyal Indian Marine Steamer "Lawrence" has entered the Karun,
as alsOiWhenit, or any man-of-war, has anchored in the Karun opposite or above Her
Majesty's Consulate. Nothing has ever followed from these protests, and the question
never seems to have been taken up by the Persian Foreign Office in Tehran. But as it is
not to our interest to admit the right of foreign warships to anchor in the Karun below
Muhammareh, no steps have been taken in recent years to assert such a right.
N ote 3.— (Paragraph 14.) This was modified in 1890 by the Amin-es-Sultan wio
ordered that 1 kran per ton of the vessel's registered tonnage should be paid for the
upward trip, if loaded; kran if empty. On the return trip 1 kranper ton on the
Vessel c actual cargo, if loaded, nothing if empty.
In the case of the steam launch 44 Asp " it was decided in 1893 that no dues whatever
should be levied from it, and the same custom has hitherto been followed in the case of
the steam launches " Bulbul and " Ishtar."
