T.C. Christensen & Co.

by Phil Nelson, 24 June 2000

based on Stewart and Styring's Flags, Funnels and Hull Colours, 1963

T&C Thor Chartering A/S

by Ivan Sache, based on Joseph Nüsse website

Horizontal red, green, red, approximately 4, 6, 4 units high, with the colours separated from each other and the edges by 1 unit of white. (Though this note is a clear description, it does not agree with my recollection. I think there should be a centered "T & C" in White on the middle stripe.) http://www.tc-as.dk does show that, but it does not show the small border around the flag that I thought I saw.
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 27 August 2001

Red flag with a wide green horizontal stripe fimbriated white in the middle, and the white letters T & C placed in the middle.

T&C Thor Chartering A/S. I agree with Peter that there is a narrow white edging to the whole flag , this being seen on the Josef Nüsse site where Josef's image's are taken from actual flags. The only question I would raise is whether the edging in the hoist is part of the design or forms the "sleeve". My guess is that it is a combination of these two as the hoist white edging is comparatively wide compared with the other 3 sides. The company itself was formed in 1994 as Tönnevald & Clausen A/S then becoming T&C A/S in 1996/1997, also known as Thor Chartering A/S, then 1.7.2003 became CEC Shipmanagement A/S on being acquired by Clipper Elite Carriers, part of Clipper Group (Management) Ltd.

Terkol Rederierne (Aarhus)

by Ivan Sache, based on Joseph Nüsse website

White flag with a black disc with a white and black border and a white T inside it.

Terkol Rederierna. The company appears to originate from Nils B. Terkildsen who seems to have been involved in various companies some of which incorporated the name "Terkol". In the early 1970s he seems to have became part of Terkildsen & Olsen A/S which gradually absorbed the other operations and traded as Terkol Rederierna up until the latter 1990s. The earliest flag description that I can find is in a 1967 shipping book where it is given as the same as the funnel which is described as pale yellow with a yellow "T" on a blue circle. However this description is immediately found wanting as a ship photo shows the funnel emblem design is the same as that for the flag shown here. Probably the colours given are also suspect. This source shows the livery being for A/S Terkol etc i.e. for all the Terkildsen/Torkel companies. However Brown 1978 and 1982 give a different version of a white flag with a black "T" within a black ring before Brown 1995 confirms the flag shown here.

Tschudi & Eitzen Bulkers A/S (Gentofte)

by Ivan Sache, based on Joseph Nüsse website

White flag with the light blue letters T & E in the middle.
Ivan Sache, 16 November 2002

Tschudi & Eitzen Bulkers A/S. or as shown by Josef, Tschudi & Eitzen Bulkers (DK) A/S which does make a difference as Tschudi & Eitzen A/S was (it split up last year) based in Oslo but its shipping interests were handled through various subsidiaries which were all in other countries with this particular one being based in Denmark. The flag is different from the parent company in the blue colour used for the letters with the parent using dark blue (which can be seen on Joseph Nüsse's website for Norway under Seite 8 T-W). Whether other subsidiaries used such a differencing system is not known.

by Jarig Bakker based on the National Maritime Museum website

From the website of the National Maritime Museum, the house flag of the United Steamship Co., Copenhagen. A rectangular blue flag with a white cross formée pattée. The flag is made of a wool and synthetic fibre bunting. It has a cotton hoist and is machine sewn." Brown (1951) has: Det Forenede Dampskibs-Selskab,

Wonsild & Søn A/S

by Ivan Sache, 29 November 2003

The company was founded in Copenhagen in 1904 by Valdemar L. Wonsild and his son Jorgen. It has a fleet of 16 chemical tankers and also deep sea dry cargo ships. The company has affiliates in Copenhagen, Connecticut, Singapore, Rotterdam and Istanbul. The flag is white with a green border and the green monogram of the company in the middle. This monogram is made of the interlaced W and S letters. Company website: http://www.wonsild.dk/

Ivan Sache, 29 November 2003

Wonsild & Søn. Brown 1978 shows a different version being white with the monogram in blue though the shape of the "W" is shown differently but by 1995 was showing the green version though still with different "W" which shape is disproved by the company website as well as Josef's flag.
