HARTMANN SCHIFFAHRTS GMBH & CO. K.G.

Sources differ slightly in the shape and colour of the letter. H8’s funnel is confirmed by a photograph of Gaschem Isa dated 20 September 2006, although the blue is darker, described as deep sky. On Cosco Karachi, photographed on 23 May 2009, the horizontal strokes of the “h” stop short of the funnel edges, perhaps because the wider funnel preserves the logo’s proportions. Josef Nüsse’s H8 table flag includes the hoist sleeve, onto which the design apparently does not extend.

H644 is Jorge Candeais’s FOTW illustration of 2 March 1999, published as “Hartmann Reederei”. Rosanoski identifies it with Hartmann Schiffahrts, originally Alfred Hartmann, dating from 1981.

Mitchell’s H645 funnel appears to derive from Jan Luiken. The vessel was listed as Deepsea Carrier before becoming Jan Luiken; sources disagree on the date of the name change. A photograph dated 20 August 1991 shows a white funnel with a grey-and-blue quartered shield, a narrow black iron cross, and indistinct charges in the first and fourth quarters.

H739’s funnel is based on a starboard photograph of Germania at Singapore on 10 June 2011. On Frisia Aller, photographed on 28 June 2013, the blue merges into white lower down, which Rosanoski treats as superstructure. A panel there repeats the funnel design rather than the Nüsse H739 flag. That flag is based on a table flag on Nüsse’s new website.
