A new Israel shipping line, the “Israeli Prophets Line,” has purchased two 10,000 ton freighters for use on a Mexican-Israel cargo run, it was announced here today.
A representative of the company said that the line will operate from Israel to Mexico and also to Cuba and various Central American countries carrying mostly sugar, wheat and flour. The vessels owned by the company will all be named for Israeli prophets of old.
A three-man Belgian delegation today started negotiations with Israeli officials and representatives of El Al, the Israeli national airlines, for an air traffic agreement.
