AID to Underwrite Extra $100 Million
for
Housing Loans in Israel This Year
I Miles From Port and 216 Miles to Go
Aqaba, Eliot So Near, Yet So Far
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The 7,500-ton West German freighter Ham-
burger Vliet had to steam 220 miles Sunday night to get from the
Jordanian port of Aqaba to the Israeli port of Etlat which are only
tour miles apart
The vessel. which discharged cargo at Aqaba, was scheduled to
-
load 7.000 tons of phosphates for Singapore at Ellat.
Both ports are at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba and within
sight of each other. But Jordanian authorities will not clear a vessel
bound directly for an Israeli port.
The Hamburger Vliet obliged them by steaming 110 miles down
the gulf to the mouth of the Straits of Than and then turning around
and steaming back the same distance to Eilat.
