STAR SHIPPING A/S.

Stewart shows a very broad white flag band.

Skipet places the flag stars closer together than in other portrayals.

Sources differ over whether the funnel’s white band is outlined. The design is recorded for Billabong, Grieg Shipping and Grieg Star Shipping.

S196 was described as the common version in 1990. Funnel bases vary from buff through pale cream to yellow, with photographic effects uncertain. Star Fuji’s later photograph confirms more widely spaced stars than Skipet’s drawings. Mitchell records it for Per F. Waaler; other sources give Billabong and Westfal-Larsen’s Star vessels from 1972.

Star Billabong carried this funnel in November 1967 under Forenede Rederier Bjorn Østervold & Per F. Waaler.
