The funnel follows starboard and port photographs of Sider Pink. Rosanoski initially thought its S represented Sidermar, which built and managed the ship in October 2006. The owner changed to Shine Navigation in April 2007 under Primal Shipmanagement, and management changed again to FFS in January 2011 and Asian Shipmanagement in July, without a change of ship name or funnel. He therefore suggests that the marking belonged to the registered owner, was inherited with the ship, or was vessel-specific, possibly explaining its unusual base colour. The earliest located photograph dates from 10 March 2007. Shine Navigation’s previous Shine appears to have had a different funnel, although the only photograph was distant and poorly angled.

Shine ownership does not prove mark origin or company-wide use.
