The flag is blue with a white zigzag stripe centered,
vertical with 2 zigs and 2 zags. The company logo centered on
this stripe and consists of a "K", with one of the lower legs
stretching out to suggest a "J", all black.
Jorge Candeias, 4 April 1999
Kristian Jebsens Ltd. was a Norwegian company dating from
1929 with sundry name changes along the way, the last I have
recorded being 1995 when it became Jebsens SA Group and in
1998, following a takeover by Actinor Shipping A/S, the ship
management business was placed under Wilson Management A/S.
The flag shown was changed to a horizontal triband of
blue-white-blue with the white taking about 2/3 the field and
bearing a narrow blue horizontal zig zag band of 3 complete
and 1 half upward zigs. This brought it into line with its
funnel band markings and the change is noted in Brown 1982. I
note the former flag still shows on the Hong Kong site which
relates to an agency company of that name and assume that it
now has no connection with Norway with the name, and possibly
the old flag, having been acquired although whether the
latter actually still flies may be another matter.

The flag is probably taken from the website of the Hong Kong
agency subsidiary. The actual shipping company is Lian Huat
Shipping Co. (Pte) Ltd. of Singapore.
