IRANO HIND SHIPPING CO. LTD.

Hood’s flag seen at Lyttelton on 7 March 1985 was diagonally quartered green and orange, with white I and H in the green quarters and a small white central circle. Arabic script was added between Hood’s March and June visits. Noor’s script was smaller and different; its flag was not flown and was inferred from the funnel panel. Rosanoski records orange rather than yellow for Hood’s panel, although the observation labelled I4 is dated March in the livery note and June in the source list. I121 is also supported by a 1980s photograph of Noor and the company website.

Brown 1995 shows green and gold quarters with a larger white circle. Jarig Bakker’s FOTW rendition I250 follows Brown but uses a different font and a light green shade without an explained reason.

The website version appeared green and red rather than the orange recorded on Hood. Ivan Sache’s FOTW image follows that website evidence.

Hood photographed at Bluff on 11 May 1998 carried a different funnel and IHSC on the hull. Its very large attached logo projected beyond the forward edge of the funnel. Teen in February 2006 had a normally sized painted version. No flag was seen, but the website’s continued use of I121 suggested that it had not changed.
