The quoted Brown description, headed SOFLUMAR in the source, gives seven horizontal stripes, white-red-white-blue-white-red-white, in apparent proportions 7:1:1:1:1:1:7. At the centre is a white hexagon outlined red and bearing a blue S.

Faouet photographs from 2006 and 2007 show a very narrow black funnel top. Josef Nüsse supplies the associated table flag.

The company website’s 2000 flag carries the black inscription SOCATRA at the base.

This funnel is documented on Mascarin, later Treguier, of the 1986 Umoil/Socatra/Soflumar joint venture formed by Van Ommeren Tankers and Socatra. Treguier was photographed in October 2001. Rosanoski records the same illustration under Van Ommeren as V101 because the ship appears under both companies and the long owning title.

Guildo carried this funnel in May 2006 while under Ligudo Shipping. The missing S is unexplained: Nizon, also under a minor operating company, retained it. Alga, a SOCATRA newbuilding in October 2012, also showed the unlettered version.
