CARRAS.

Rosanoski assumes C252 originally belonged to the UK operations, perhaps later Carras Shipping Co., and probably never Carras (Hellas), despite Brown 1995. US Navy 1961 attributes it to Argobeam; Brown 1982 names J.C. Carras & Sons of London and Brown 1995 Carras (Hellas) S.A. of Piraeus. The funnel is also recorded for companies under A. Lusi, probably reflecting the 1965 takeover. Mitchell appears to use mid-blue. Jarig Bakker’s flag follows Brown 1995 under Carras (Hellas) Ltd.

C453 is white with a large red sans-serif K and two thin blue lines near, but not touching, the horizontal edges. The flag is documented by Josef Nüsse and the Cabin Class website. The funnel follows photographs of Aquabella and Aquabeauty, the latter dated 8 May 2005. Its blue bands differ substantially in shade from the Nüsse flag; Mitchell shows dark blue bands, possibly indicating a change.

The Caltex Book of Flags and Funnels (1959) gives J.M. Carras a blue flag with a white K, describing a Greek company operating under Panamanian and Liberian flags.
