BRIDGE LINE PTY. LTD.

The funnel marking first appeared on Ursus early in 1989. Jim Freeman described B742 as buff with a white oblong bearing the flag, outlined black. The Log instead outlines it white. NJK photographs also record B743 and B744, showing that chartered vessels retained their original base colours.

The flag is red with a narrow white saltire, surmounted by an undefined white oblong bearing a black-outlined and shaded “B” with “black eyes”.

This supports the service/business relationship, but a British parent’s ownership and Australian routes do not prove the subsidiary’s incorporation. The two separate Bridge Line companies and Iscot/Tominglee name chains in the archive remain unresolved.
