Fuel Supplies to Civil Aircraft at Masirah
and Salalah.
Following recent conversations on the above subject we
write to confirm the points raised by us and we hope that a
summary of these may be of value.
Our London Principals have recently concluded a temporary
agreement with the Air Ministry whereby civil aircraft may be
refuelled at Masirah and Salalah, on our behalf by the R.A.F.
These aircraft are at present exclusively casual operators and
permission to refuel at these points has to be obtained from
H.Q. British Forces, Aden.
Fuel to meet their expected requirement has been despatched
to the points in question by the same method as fuel to meet
the R.A.F’s normal requirement there. It has been forwarded
to Muscat in our craft, the greater part however being sent in towed
k-parges and not by ship and there transhipped to dhows for onfor-
7 warding to destination. The fuel is being delivered to the R.A.F.
at these points and will be stored by them until such time as it is
issued, and on this account it is suggested that Customs and any
other duties payable to the Mifscat Authorities should be paid
monthly on the basis of actual issues to civi^l aircraft. These
will be communicated to us by the R.A.F. and we in turn propose
that we should advise our Muscat Agents accordingly, authorising
them to make the proper payments. We should be glad to know if
this proposal is acceptable to the Muscat Authorities.
^ * In this connection we must mention our submission that the
transhipment at sea of these cargoes does not come within the
exclusive province of the Muscat Landing Contractor in so far as
his activities are defined in the Muscat Customs Manual Chapter
X and.XV, and that we are free to employ any contractor or
other party for the purposes of this transfer. We therefore
claim the refund of a deposit of Es.3134/- recently paid to Muscat
Customs against full landing charges. ^
^ % In conclusion we must express our gratitude for the assis
tance which we have received in this connection and ask that
our claims may be fully represented to the Muscat Authorities.
We have the honour to remain,
Your Excellency’s 0
Most Humble and Obedient Servants,
