Abadan.
(See Map 2.)
1. General. —Abadan is situated on an island of the same
name on the left bank and about 30 miles up the Shatt-el-Arab.
It is as modern, in many respects, as an English industrial town,
being the A. I O. C.’s refinery and port of export. It is the
greatest oil port in the East. The island is approximately 50
miles long by 2 miles wide, with a population of about 150,000
natives, of which 25,000 are in the employ of the A. I. 0. C.
Basra Port Directorate controls all shipping in the river and
its harbour-masters and pilots bring all vessels alongside the
jetties. Once alongside the jetties the Iranian Authorities exer
cise the usual Customs, quarantine and police control. The
frontier at Abadan is the “ Thelweg ” (the deepest part of the
channel) since the conclusion of the Iraqi-Iranian Frontier
Treaty of 1937.
