The blue flag bears a shield diagonally divided yellow and red, described in the original as Pbds. A black wyvern on the yellow faces the fly, and a black lion passant on the red faces the hoist, representing Wessex and Normandy respectively. The blue funnel has a black top and the same shield. Loughran specifies light blue for the funnel, which Rosanoski assumes also applies to the flag. Loughran’s upper shield is orange and Brown’s yellow; N148 uses gold as a compromise. P&O Ferries livery was adopted on absorption.
