F.H. BERTLING REEDEREI GMBH.

The flag reported in 1956–1957, when the company operated Ursula Heinemeier, was a horizontal green–white–green triband. The white stripe bore black serifed “F.H.B.”, including the dots; a black five-pointed star stood centrally in the upper green stripe.

Mitchell’s B983 funnel is presumed to be based on his line drawing of Ursula Heinmeier, as the vessel name is spelt in that passage.

The later flag is white with three waves, light blue above blue above very dark blue, and “Bertling” in very dark-blue italics at the lower fly. It was observed above the company building on 21 March 2007 and is also documented by Nüsse’s table flag. The funnel follows starboard and portside photographs of Algarve, which appear to show the same logo on both sides.

B950 follows Atacama in January 2007 and a portside photograph on 17 October 2008, with the same appearance on both sides.

Solent’s portside funnel photograph reverses the emblem, while a starboard photograph dated 14 April 2009 shows the usual form. Rosanoski therefore considers the portside display apparently erroneous.
