J.O. ODFJELL A/S.

Mitchell places O229 on the Rederiet Odfjell card, but Rosanoski presumes it was intended for, or is a version of, O226.

The FOTW flag follows Brown 1995 under the name J.O. Odfjell Chemical Car Carriers.

Jo Calluna shows the JO emblem attached to the funnel, creating an apparent narrow grey shadow. Jo Oak’s starboard view reveals the three-dimensional edge as white, also supported by Jo Kiri’s port-side view.

J.O. Odfjell is dated 1977 by Lloyds and 1978 by Skipet, which records shipping transferred from Rederiet Odfjell. Abraham later left this group to Johan Odvar Odfjell and the drilling business to Helene and Marianne, while remaining a JO Tankers director. The Jo Tankers pool developed in the 1980s, with ownership and management separated in the 1990s and a Knutsen OAS pool arrangement in 2000. JO Management in Norway was formed in 1989 and became JO Tankers in 1996. The Dutch operation originated as Winterport Tankers in 1981, becoming JO Management in 1990 and Jo Tankers in 1996; a UK company followed in Dundee in 2003. Jo-prefixed ship names followed by trees commemorated the family’s original timber trade.

Norway: Minde, Bergen; Blomsterdalen; later Bergen.
