These days, they seem to be using another logo (they may have merged with someone...), as seen on company website I think the snow flake emblem has to do with their (former?) engagement with DIFKO, an investment company.

An earlier flag is shown by Brown 1978, which shows the influence of then owners DFDS A/S, being blue with a white cross patty, charged with a red "M". In 1984 they were taken over by

  • J. Lauritzen, who in turn sold them in 1988 to DIFKO. The flag referred to by Ole Andersen of blue with a white diamond frame and a logo of golden parallel diagonal panels [see below] has been seen on the Joseph Nüsse website. DIFKO are still the owners although Scandlines A.G. took a 40% interest in 1999.
