v.ita
Ab regards the cost of the scheme it is not possible to form a reliable
estimate owing to the fact that the amount of both the initial and recurring
charges depends largely on the local circumstances and can only be
estimated on the spot. It should be explained, however, that the establish
ment of lights involves the provision of a small vessel fitted as a
lighthouse tender, besides the necessary plant for the manufacture of the
gas for supplying the unwatched lights.
As regards diplomatic difficulties, we note that our proposals will
presumably involve arrangement with the Persian authorities, the Sultan
of Muscat, the Sheikhs of Koweit and Bahrein, or any others who may
be interested.
It seems^ desirable, therefore, to arrange in order of their importance the
lights required for the navigation of the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
. This order is
considered to be as follows :—
(1.) Musandim.
(2.) Maskat.
(3.) Bushire.
(4.) Shat-el-Arab (a light vessel).
(5.) Muharrack (Bahrein).
(6.) Fasht-ad-Dibal (Bahrein).
(7.) Jezirat Kubbar (Koweit).
(8.) Bandar Abbas.
(9.) Ras-al-Arz (Koweit).
(10.) Linga.
5. (c) Maintenance of Lights and Buoys.—It is suggested that the
Government of India should be invited to arrange for the maintenance of the
buoys and lighthouses in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
by the Royal Indian Marine, or in
whatever manner they should think fit.
. 6 - W Apportionment of Cost.—It is suggested that the cost should be
divided equally between British and Indian revenues, this being the
principle usually followed with regard to Persian expenditure.
As to the amount, it has been already explained (paragraph 4) that no
reliable estimate can be at present furnished.
