Abstract:
Record deliveries of foodstuffs and petroleum increased North Vietnam's identified seaborne imports in May to 147,400 tons, the highest monthly volume in the last two and one-half years. Identified exports dropped to the lowest volume recorded during this same period. Coal shipments continued to decline because of bomb damage to power plants and coal processing facilities, and cement shipments ceased following the damage to the Haiphong cement plant in April. Forty foreign ships called at North Vietnam in May -- the same as the average number for the preceding four months. Soviet ships made 18 calls, and Free World ships 9 calls, more than any month since February 1966.
