The livery’s ownership is uncertain. The flag derives from a cap badge labelled Bel Mare and the funnel from that vessel, listed in 1953–54 under August Leffler & Son. Since Leffler had its own livery, Rosanoski suggests the manager may explain it. Bryggan places Bel Mare under Rederi A/B Jan and says it was built for Kihlström; Mitchell assigns Jan a different funnel, J114. US Navy and Mitchell label K126 Rederi A/B Bel Mare, with Mitchell placing it at Oslo and using a red circle rather than a star.
Exact legal proprietor unresolved.
