HELLESPONT GROUP.

H431 is also assigned in the source to Frixos V. Papachristidis and Hellespont Tankers.

H747 is based on the company website logo recorded on 26 October 2004, in a darker blue. The outer bases of the Greek letters appear shorter, but this may be an effect of the waving flag; they could be equal. Ivan Sache’s H748 FOTW image derives from the same website design, with the first Greek letter drawn slightly differently.

H745 is based on a starboard website photograph and a starboard view of Hellespont Centurion. Photographs show varying blue shades, some dark, which may reflect image processing rather than a livery difference.

In the portside photograph of Hellespont Challenger used for H746, the superstructure and normally white funnel bands appear pale yellow or cream.

P652 comes from a very small source whose details are unclear. The company name is absent and Rosanoski estimates the attribution from its apparently alphabetical position. The band and emblem appear black.

P137 bears the Greek letters Phi, Beta and Pi. Rosanoski suggests a possible connection with Basil Ph. Papachristidis; the FOTW description instead calls them the founder’s initials. The flag has a white disc edged blue at the centre of the cross, charged with the blue letters. Brown places the emblem towards the hoist and makes the narrow blue band broader than another account, which describes very little white below it. The funnel’s shade follows the website images.
