Reference telegrams Hos.Ul and 112 to busnire from Minister
Tehran.
Existing arrangements require minimum of 60 hours notice
be given tor H.M. Ships to proceed to Abadan to refuel.
Anglo Oil Company inform me that arrangements could be
maae to refuel sloops in Bawarda Beach, They would like months
notice and would detail and prepare a lighter for the sole use of
sloops, lignter containing ^miralty specification fuel only.
Existing arrangements for visit to Iraq require seven
days prior notice but shorter notice is acceptable for urgency.
Such as hospital cases# Bawarda Reach being Iraq waters I am
confident an arrangement for 48 hours notice or less would be
acceptable to Embassy at Baghdad.
4. In addition permanent permission would have to be
obtained from Basra Port Directorate for sloops refuelling there
as refuelling in stream is normally prohibited.
5. It is remarked that Persian Sloops frequently refuel
from lighter in Bawarda Beach and it is most improbable that any
notice given to Iraq Government though permission obtained from
Port Directorate Abadan.
6. Bushire should it be necessary to communicate with
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
this can be done by meeting Consular boat at
outer buoy which is just outside three mile limit and would be
feasible except during Shemal or Kaus force 5 and above.
7. Suggest therefore that it would be preferaole to
abandon notice sooner than give reciprocity lor Arab ports and
Islands in Gulf.
8. Oil situation for sloops might require diversion of an
oiler during change over period by Oil Company.
