U.S. Has 258 Ships On 'Black List’
(N.Z. Frew Association —Copyright; NEW YORK, April 25. A total of 258 ships flying the flags of 15 nations are on the United States “black-list” of vessels ineligible to carry its foreign aid cargoes, says the “New York Times.”
Ships are placed on the “black-list” after they have traded with Cuba or with North Vietnam. Since January, 1963, the
ships of 22 nations have made more than 1000 trips to ports in both countries. However, the owners of some of these ships have assured the Government that they will not trade with the two enemy nations. As the result of such assurance, many of them have become eligible again to carry assistance cargo. Of the 251 Cuba trade ships ineligible to carry aid cargo, 72 fly the British flag. The next highest representation is Lebanon with 57 ships, followed by 35 flying the Greek flag. The remaining 12 nations are represented by fewer than 20 ships, the list ranging
from 18 each for Poland and Cyprus to two each for the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.
