Ahrenberg, ship Aina - dark blue flag, white connected "AL". (probably for Ahrenberg Linie)
Jarig Bakker, 11 August 2005

Lloyds 1912 [llo12] shows the livery for Th. Ahrenberg and also for Werner Lunqvist, both of Gothenburg but with no indication of their relationship. However it is a possible indication for the letters. I suspect that Ahrenberg may have been operators for others, which would explain the connection with AB Maritime, using their colours in lieu of any for the ship's owner.

ship: S/S Monita, built 1945, Upphuggen 1963; flag: blue swallowtail with a yellow hoist triangle reaching flag center.

More correctly they are the colours of Arnold de Champs who operated at least 3 companies including Rederi A/B Monark. Towards the end there seems to have been a succession with Lloyds showing the company as Thomas de Champs A/B ceasing operations around the mid 1970s.

Later livery
image contributed by Neale Rosanoski, 8 June 2006

According to Loughran 1979 [lgr79] the company started in 1896 under managers and in 1918 these were changed to E.A. Enhörning and after this a new livery was adopted of blue with narrow yellow horizontal bands near chief and base and between them a white circle bearing a red cross paty [see se~m483a.gif attached]. This is actually shown by Brown 1929 and 1934 as being for E.A. Enhörning. Both companies are shown in Lloyds 1937 Telegraphic Addresses but as these are in their own names it is not clear whether they were still connected.

Lloyd's (1912) shows for Motala a different owner and a slightly different house flag when compared with Brown's Flags and Funnels (1926). The owner is listed as C.A. Arvidson, Stockholm. The flag is a blue swallow-tailed flag with a white M.
