ORDER SHIPPING CO. LTD.

The funnel is shown on Elpida S to port on 5 September 2011 and Chrysoula S to starboard on 19 February 2014. Rosanoski identifies Nüsse’s table flag as displayed back to front, suggesting the S had been mistaken for an abstract symbol.

Mitchell’s funnel is presumed to derive from Sailor, although there is no line drawing. His associated name George Steratkitis could not be traced. Rosanoski suggests Captain George Skiathitis, listed as general manager, but stresses that linking either man, or S. Savvas, to the funnel’s S is conjectural.

Order is listed as formed in 1985 and as agent for Sailor in 1988–89. A different 1992–93 entry under Tsakos, for another vessel, may be a namesake. The later Order appears as Nirvana’s operating company and by 2011–12 as managers only. Most ships have S as the second part of their names.
