BOCIMAR INTERNATIONAL N.V.

The website flag appears to be a version of B197, while Sache’s FOTW rendering uses a brighter blue. Bakker and Sache suggest a possible connection with Temse’s traditional blue and yellow, explicitly without evidence. Rosanoski doubts it because Antwerp is the actual base and the blue shade differs.

B883 follows CMB Weihai on 5 November 2011. CMB Jialing on 16 June 2012 instead shows B197’s shades; Rosanoski suggests paint availability or camera rendering as possible explanations.

Bocimar International was formed in 2001, wholly owning Bocimar Lux, Bocimar Belgium and CMB Japan. Vessel-owning ventures included partners Wah Kwong of Hong Kong and Oak Maritime of Taiwan.

Belgium, Antwerpen; Temse in the FOTW account.

Chronology requires REVIEW: the document says founded 1981 but elsewhere records CMB involvement in 1975; official biographical material already places Marc Saverys at Bocimar in 1975. Acquisition dates vary by source and entity. A 1998 venture sold in 1991 is impossible. B586 belongs to a Luxembourg subsidiary, not Belgium; B648's UBEM attribution is unresolved.
