SHIPPING TO SPAIN
THE DEMANDS OF BRITISH OWNERS
ALMERIA AS SAFE PORT DERIDED.
HOPELESSLY INADEQUATE ACCOMMODATION.
LONDON, July 6.
Almeria, which General Franco has proposed as a “safe port,” is the smallest of seven Spanish ports used by British shipping and is completely unsatisfactory. At most it will accommodate only 3000-ton ships, declares a committee of British shipowners trading to Spain,
The committee adds that there is at a maximum, accommodation at Almeria for seven vessels, whereas at present 45 vessels, many over 3000 tons, are discharging in Spanish ports, and a further fifty are due within a fortnight. Moreover, Almeria is nearer to the firing line than other firstclass ports. The committee demands the complete freedom of action and the protection accorded to British shipping for the last five hundred years.
