Rosanoski considers the FOTW H700 flag incorrect because the H is too close to the hoist and its crossbar is raised. Both letter and crossbar should be centred, as on Josef Nüsse’s flag and on Hual Trekker when sighted on 14 November 2003.

H701 follows a National Maritime Museum flag recorded as 939.8 × 1778 mm. Rosanoski notes that the displayed image does not match those dimensions, nor does its blue match the FOTW version.

The company website’s black-and-white photograph of Alexandra Höegh shows the H13 funnel. Hual Trident’s flag, sighted on 1 June 2012, confirms H13; Josef Nüsse also supplies a table-flag reference.

The white funnel band is interrupted by blue descending from the funnel top, with a white flag on a pole angled “Pbd”. Stewart shows the pole vertical; Brown 1951 and 1958 angle it backwards, while later Brown editions again show it erect. Loughran’s angle is correct but the band too narrow: it should equal the flag. Portside Hoegh Tracer and starboard Hoegh Trooper photographs confirm a mirrored arrangement with the flag pointing forward. These photographs show a darker bright blue; the illustration uses the website’s mid-blue, confirmed by Nüsse. Jordan’s white funnel with blue-white-blue bands near the top presumably represents this version. Mitchell omits the pole and uses the upright panel. NJK dates the funnel change to 1938.

H445 comes from a starboard photograph of Hoegh Gandria, owned in a joint venture with Mitsui OSK Lines. Its blue appears different, though lighting may account for this. The band positions are probably coincidental: Norman Lady, in another joint venture with the same company, had H12. Application of the flag to H445 is assumed in the source.

H702 comes from a portside photograph of Hoegh Oslo dated 9 September 2012.
