The funnel band bears the tug’s name in white, confirmed on Per on 26 February 1983. Rosanoski tentatively dates the Röda flag to about 1980, replacing the Göteborg company’s flag while retaining the funnel designs.

The orange in the FOTW rendering should be red according to Rosanoski, who notes the source website’s unclear colours and identifies the depicted vessel as a tug.

Nüsse’s flag is double-sided and Rosanoski suspects it was intended only as a table flag. The accompanying note describes a black-hulled tug with a red band and no white lettering.

The funnel appears to be assigned to Per, but its white base is probably an error: the cited photograph shows none.

Loughran dates this flag to 1988 without discussing the R31 version he supplies in Brown 1995. His later article leaves its replacement under Svitzer uncertain.
