V/ill you please refer to Bahrain letter No.
G/995 cf the 4th October and Hay’s reply which you
copied to us under No. NXT 2244, about the flying
of flags by B.I. vessels visiting Sharjah and Dubai.
The present proposal has presumably now been
shelved as a result of Hay's action, but since
similar questions may arise in future, possibly in
connexion with foreign ships, we have thought it as
well to look into the question. (Incidentally we
note that the request did not come from the Sheikhs
nor even from the British India Steam Navigation
Company itself but only from the Bombay Agents of
Messrs. Cray, Mackenzie and Company and we find it
difficult to see what standing they could have for
expressing any desires on the subject at all).
Subject to anything which the Ministry of
Transport may say, the position seems to be that
a ship always flies e.g. at the stern its own flag
i.e. the flag of the state where it is registered
or that cf the state of which its crew are
nationals and may sometimes also fly that of the
state of which the charterers are nationals.
The only question is therefore whether a ship
should additionally fly at the foremast the flag of
the country cf destination on coming into one of its
/ports
