PITTAS FAMILY.

The emblem is the Greek pi. Mitchell assigns the funnel to Chios Navigation under G.N. Pittas Brothers and associates it with Sparto, though Lloyd’s places that vessel under Lemos & Pateras agency. Eurobulk still used it on John P in July 2006, possibly for Cyprus-registered vessels while others used E311.

Mitchell gives equal bands, but the photograph of Doric Challenge in May 2005 shows blue slightly narrower.

This funnel was noted on Demetrios in April 1967. Her registered company was under Chios Navigation agency; Eurobulk’s history describes assistance with management in 1964–68. Rosanoski presumes a subsidiary relationship.

The design is documented on Pantelis at Lyttelton in September 2011 and by a drawing of Artemis at Port Botany in December 2006.

CMA CGM Telopea was photographed at Port Botany in March 2011 with the owner’s band forming the funnel top. Built in 2007, she had successively been Cala Pancaldo on Costa Container charter, with buff funnel and CCS colours as a broad top; MSC Cameroun, retaining those colours; and Artus, in Zeppenfield buff with a black Z. A June 2013 photograph of Em Psara confirms the portside view.
