W520 comes from Wappen von Frankfurt while still under construction in November 2005. The vessel was apparently delivered on 1 December, and a photograph uploaded in March 2006 shows the panel added; the unpanelled funnel may never have been used in trade.

W519 comes from Wappen von Augsburg and Wappen von Berlin. On Berlin the blue border lies inside the panel, leaving a white outer edge; Wappen von Flensburg instead shows the panel edged blue.

The flag is white with a dark-blue-edged white square containing five greenish-blue S-shaped waves touching in the middle. Schneider saw it above the company’s Johannisbollwerk building on 16 March 2007 and reconstructed the waves from the doorplate image.
