FREE PORT OF ALMERIA 205 acl. vO wnt +50 L45 33 ly Jn hy 1S nne ish sce Sct ops was ity lic rom the ne 1 of riod and its arly uit rob \rids [he ish ally Description of port—The port of Almeria occupies a central position on the Bay of Almeria, which is 22 miles wide and 8 miles deep. The port works consist of a long breakwater, or mole, known 8s the “Dique de Poniente,” or Western Mole, which extends from the beach in a southeasterly direction a distance of 6,300 feet, and a mole extending in a southwesterly direction a distance of 1,350 feet, known as the “Muelle de Levante,” or Eastern Mole. The entrance between the moles is about 1,050 feet wide, and the harbor is large and well sheltered, with depths of water ranging from 25 to 40 feet. Vessels can load and discharge alongside either mole, and within the harbor there are many mooring buoys. A general plan of the port of Almeria is being transmitted herewith. Description of free port.—The free port is situated on the Western Mole, beginning at a point about 1,000 feet distant from the shore and comprising an area of 196,443 square feet, of which a total of 56,511 is reserved for oil supplies and 73,464 for coal. There is a warehouse for general merchandise with 7,265 square feet of floor Space and there is berthing space of 1,230 feet for steamers alongside the free port. A railroad extends along the mole to a point beyond the free-port area, and the principal highway connecting Almeria with Malaga and other cities and towns passes close to the entrance of the mole. x Administration of free port—The concession for the free port at Almeria was granted by royal order under date of February 20, 1922, to the Compaiia de Depositos Comerciales del Puerto de Almeria (Commercial Deposits Co. of the Port of Almeria), a Spanish concern with a capital of 1,000,000 pesetas, which was formed in 1921. The royal order mentioned provided that the concession should not be exclusive; that warehouses destined for the storage of goods proceed- ing directly from foreign countries should be entirely separate from those receiving goods of domestic production, not only for reasons of Service convenience but also for the purpose of guarding the interests of the national treasury and of business; that all installations deemed Decessary by the customs authorities, and all customs services of intervention and vigilance, should be for the account of the con- Cessionaire; that the concessionaire must comply with all general ‘egulations in effect, or which might become effective in future, telative to administrative control of commercial deposits, including ‘hose concerning a maximum period of four years for the storage of {oreign goods deposited without payment of duties; that the installa- lion of warehouses should be completed within three years; and that ‘he Government assumed no responsibility of any kind resulting from the storage of merchandise or any other circumstance.
