The Italian S. S. “ Hilda ” (2,973 tons) arrived at Bandar Abbas on Gth Juno
with a mixed cargo for Iran and Iraq. In anticipation of Italy’s entry into the
war the Master refused to proceed further although most of the Iranian cargo,
which included military stores for the Iranian government, was consigned to Bandar
Shahpur. Its discharge at Bandar Abbas where there arc no facilities for handling
heavy cargo caused much trouble to the Iranian authorities and also in transport-
ation to Tehran where most of it was destined. The “ Hilda ” was finally cleared of
all cargo on 23rd September and was still in port at the end of the year. Arrange­
ments were being made for onward shipment to Basrah of approved items of cargo
for Iraq.
