COOL CARRIERS A/B.

Brown 1995 and Nüsse show a tapered flag, with Nüsse placing the emblem nearer the hoist. The table flag on Nüsse’s newer website at first resembles a white rectangle, but close inspection reveals a tapered swallowtail against a very pale blue background. Pacific Reefer at Lyttelton on 18 November 1985 had bright blue above and dark blue below on its funnel.

Rosanoski’s close observations in 1986–87 favoured a normal, untapered swallowtail. Mediteran Frigo at Lyttelton on 30 November 1986 was recorded that way; Koala had instead been reported with a rectangular flag in April 1986. Pecan on 29 April 1987 confirmed a swallowtail, studied carefully to rule out a split rectangular flag. Reefer Sun at Wellington on 8 October 1998 was more distant, but the emblem’s position supported a fork, and Rosanoski was reasonably confident that this particular flag did not taper. He allows that flapping and distance may mislead, or that different suppliers to a chartered fleet produced unofficial variations. A tapered table flag alone does not establish the form of flags used aboard ship.

The Mediteran Frigo-era advertisement shows no funnel top. Reefer Sun had only a narrow black top in 1998. Mitchell and the former company website also show funnels without black tops, the latter indicating that most had lost them.

Lauritzen-Cool colours subsequently replaced these liveries.
