THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
During . April1953, 10,027 tons of crude oil wcrc: shipped to
Czechoslovakia from the Matzen railroad station.
2, .ti'ifo issued an order, effective April 1953, that 5E13 Matzen was to ship
oil only to Czechoslovakia and not to Poland and East Germany as before.
Shipping documents are to be prepared for the general destination
Czechoslovakia, without mentioning specific towns.
3, Since SE3 Matzen is not kept informed on a shipment schedule, it has to
be ready to load whatever number of tank cars is provided by the Wifo
tank car division. The authorities at INatzen are not even informed
of when the tank cars are due there. It sometimes happens that tank
cars arrive to be loaded just after the ilztzen storage tanks have
been emptied (through the pipeline to Wifo, Lobau) to provide more
storage space for new production. This causes delays in loading,
Other delays are caused by the necessity to drain water from the crude
oil to be shipped and the fact that the tank car loading station is on
the main line of the railroad,
