FLOTA PETROLERA ECUATORIANA.
image by Jarig Bakker, 14 November 2005
The black funnel has a narrow white band near the top. At its base, two blue sea waves edged white lie beneath white flopEC and an oil drop in yellow, blue and red; the EC is angled “Pbds”. The black flag has a narrow white border, widened at the bottom to carry black flota petrolera ecuatoriana, and repeats the waves, name and national-coloured oil drop.
The funnel follows Chimborazo’s port side on 27 May 2013.
Mitchell provides no explanation; Rosanoski suggests the funnel may derive from his drawing of Santiago.
