ATLANTIC CONTAINER LINE A/B.

The original livery sometimes has a circle in lighter blue than the lettering and border. Atlantic Span’s photograph of 27 April 1969 supports it, with a funnel possibly light cream-buff like the superstructure and a softer Swedish blue circle. The lettering is dark, but cannot be resolved as black or blue. The FOTW “Old Flag” illustration uses bright blue.

Brown’s version is contrasted with Mitchell’s brighter, sloping funnel emblem. Mitchell’s Atlantic Champagne drawing shows that design; other drawings omit the emblem, probably because of their scale, and Atlantic Span is also drawn with a yellow funnel and black top.

The newer livery dates from around 1970 for newer vessels, while older ships retained their original markings. Atlantic Conveyer is shown with a narrow funnel top in the Great Liners video. Dark blue is confirmed there and by Atlantic Companion in January 2005, whose very large logo is placed more like a superstructure emblem than a funnel marking. Nüsse also supplies a table flag.

A white flag with the company design in celestial blue was observed aboard a ship in the Blohm & Voss docks on 12 April 2009.
