SCAN BRAS.

The flag is divided diagonally into white hoist and fly quarters and red upper and lower quarters, with a black stripe along the top and a yellow stripe below. Two interlinked yellow rings contain black LB and AL respectively, for Lloyd Brasileiro and Alianca. Rosanoski relates the quarters to Lloyd Brasileiro and the black band and rings to Alianca, leaving the yellow band unexplained.

After Transroll refused the LB/AL funnel, a new flag and funnel replaced the initials with black SCAN and BRAS on white panels over black arrows within thicker interlinked rings. The SCAN arrow points upwards and the BRAS arrow downwards. Each arrowhead has a flattened point, a white lettering panel and a black base line; the second is reversed. Rosanoski associates the arrows with Transroll.

Another variant has SCAN in yellow and BRAS in red. The later Klaus-Peter Bühne account states that it was never officially used.

Josef Nüsse’s table flags have proportions 5:3 and are all placed under Brazil. Rosanoski’s early note questioned whether they were advertising flags and whether ships retained their original funnels. An early Schneider reply mentions one unhoisted flag refused by Transroll without identifying it; the later account supplies the more specific design history above.
