NEPTUNE ORIENT LINES LTD.

This flag has seven blue wavy bands.

Neptune Kiku at Lyttelton on 7 April 1985 confirmed the funnel, with the outer trident prongs half the height of the centre prong.

Bakker’s Brown 1995-derived flag is white with three wavy horizontal lines and what the source calls “green rain out of the fly”.

The apparent twenty-first-anniversary flag was seen on Neptune Sardonyx on 21 December 1989. Its centre has about seven slightly wavy grey lines, overlaid by 21 shading from dark blue to light mauve below. At the dexter side, black 1968 and 1989 dates are joined by black dashes. Beneath is the dark-blue inscription YEARS OF PROGRESS over IN GLOBAL TRANSPORTATION. Colours were indistinct on the worn flag.

Nüsse dates this flag’s design to 1989. It apparently led to the N174 flag and funnel, also attributed to N177 and said to have been adopted in 1992. Mitchell omits the upper blue, showing a very deep white top with the logo, which Rosanoski finds unlikely.
