COMPAGNIE MARITIME D'AFFRETEMENT.

Brown notes that chartered ships may vary in base funnel colour, while the band should remain consistent.
The flag is red with a white diamond touching the borders and blue CMA letters.
Josef Nüsse’s C1273 table flag has slightly different proportions and appears on both versions of his website; the second also shows C1274.
Mitchell places this funnel on Conti Reederei’s card, noting that company’s charters to operators including CMA.
The document also attributes a 1976 Compagnie Méridionale d’Armement and German-consortium episode to this company. No evidence linked that earlier identity to Saadé’s CMA, so the composite record remains under review.
