GEEST PLC.

The white flag has two light-blue horizontal stripes near the upper and lower edges. A central yellow lozenge has a thick red border and an ornate red G. The Netherlands concern Waling van Geest en Zonen used the same flag. During the 1960s vessels of several other companies wore Geest colours, including Laeisz, Compagnie General Transatlantique, Sloman, Brovig, Klaveness and Bruns.

Brown’s notes date an altered funnel to 1994, but Rosanoski is uncertain whether the bands disappeared and whether the lettering was GEEST or Geest. He also questions whether the change occurred at all, since the old format appears to have continued. The corresponding company website design is only a logo, with no evidence there of funnel use.

The funnel and flag appear on chartered Klipper Stream, port side on 16 August 2013, with the starboard funnel confirmed by a photograph of 26 September 2010.
