ARMS TRANSSHIPMENT ACTIVITY
MARIEL PORT FACILITIES, CUBA
Z-15385/83
NPIC/PEG (10/83)
1. SIGNIFICANCE: ARMS TRANSSHIPMENT ACTIVITY IS IN PROGRESS AT A
WHARF JUST NORTH OF HERE. (SWN)
2. REMARKS: ONE FLOGGER FUSELAGE SHIPPING CONTAINER AND TWO
FLOGGER COMPONENT SHIPPING CONTAINERS ARE ON FLATBED TRAILERS
ON THE CUAY ADJACENT TO A SOVIET - ASS
MERSHIP. THE MERSHIP HAD ARRIVED THE
FLOGGER SHIPPING CCNTAINERS WERE NOT ON THE CUAY OR THE SHIP'S
DECK AT THAT TIME SUGGESTING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO
THE QUAY FOR LOADING ON THE MERSHIP FOR SHIPMENT OUT OF
COUNTRY. THE HATCHES OF THIS SHIP ARE TOO SMALL TO ACCOMMODATE
STANDARD BELOW DECK LOADING OF THE FLOGGER FUSELAGE CONTAINER.
(SWN)
IT IS ALSO'POSSIBLE THAT THE CONTAINERS WILL BE LOADED ABOARD A
CUBAN SHIP, SUCH AS THE EL JIGUE-CLASS, WHICH IS PRESENTLY
MOORED IN THE HARBOR. THIS WOULD ALSO RESULT IN THE CONTAINER
BEING CARRIED AS DECK CARGO SINCE THIS CLASS SHIP ALSO HAS
HATCHES SMALLER THAN THE FUSELAGE CONTAINER. (SWN)
MARIEL HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH SEVERAL SOVIET-SUPPLIED ARMS
TRANSFERS TO THIRD COUNTRIES. ANGOLA RECENTLY RECEIVED A
SHIPMENT OF MEDIUM TANKS CARRIED ABOARD A CUBAN SD-14-CLASS
MERSHIP WHICH LOADED AT THE WHARVES JUST NORTH OF MARIEL ON
COLT TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT, SHIPPED IN FISHBED
CONTAINERS, HAVE BEEN EXPORTED TWICE TO ANGOLA FROM THE MAIN
PORT, AND ONCE TO NICARAGUA PROBABLY FROM THE MAIN PORT. DUE
TO THE UTILIZATION OF NONSTANDARD CONTAINERS IN THE PAST, IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE TO CONFIRM THE CONTENTS OF THE FLOGGER CONTAINERS.
A LESS LIKELY POSSIBILITY, THAT THE AIRCRAFT IS BEING SHIPPED
BACK TO THE SOVIET UNION FOR EXTENSIVE REPAIRS, ALSO EXISTS.
