K/S Nord-Polen A/S. the
website shows two flags for this company with
the second being a reverse colouring of blue with the arrows in white. It also
differs from the Brown image in showing the arrow to hoist pointing down and
that to fly pointing up [see no~n653a.gif for the 2nd blue flag] but as it also
shows this arrangement for the funnel marks, and ship fotos show that Brown is
indeed correct for them, I think we can take the Brown flag version as also
being the most likely, with a possible blue base flag also having been used
though in what connection is unclear. The company became Nor -Cargo A/S in 1989.

encircled by a black rope and black letters NFDS in the corners (NF on the
upper horizontal, DS on the lower).
Jens Martens, 12 December 2003
There is an image in All about Ships and Shipping 1938, in
which the ropes look bluish. In Lloyd's 1957 is a description:
"White, red rosette in loop of rope above knot; black N F D S. Funnel:
Black, broad red band between two narrow white bands."

Seat: Bodø
The company was established on 13 August 1927 by overtaking
the vessel SKJÆRSTAD together with the line Saltdal-Bodø-Trondheim from
Saltens Dampskibsselskab. An attempt by starting a line to Hamburg in 1929
was bogged and ended in a freight war against Bergenske and Nordenfjeldske,
which was ended in 1935. In autumn 1945 the company got an offer of
partnership in the coastal express line. At the same time the cargo service
was extended by a line Trondheim – Finnmark. As the company was unable to
provide a modern ship for the express line, the partnership was lost at the
end of 1958. The company later became a participant in coastal cargo
operation Nord-Poolen. After losses the company merged with Saltens
Dampskibsselskab in 1981. In 1991 OVDS gained the majority of Saltens
shares, which from now became a subsidiary of the Narvik-based company.
Nordlandske had no houseflag. The yellow funnel was marked by a blue ring
charged with white initials “NDS” and fimbriated white red on both sides.
But in Hamburg expedition in 2007 a flag had been displayed and we have it
in our page

Fjord 1
The company runs smaller ferries, hauling cars, trucks and
pedestrians. The flag is red with thin white and blue stripes on bottom. It
looks somehow like the upper hoist quarter of the Norwegian national flag.
You can see the ferries of Fjord1 in any harbour of the Hurtigruten.
