Blue tapering swallowtail, yellow lion.

I am unsure whether there is a direct connection for the flag with Bonnier who, according to my translation software for the source site, entered shipping in the late 1950s by forming Lion Steamship Co. A/B and Lion Ferry A/B with the flag being adopted in 1970. I understand they subsequently sold out to Erik Kekonius. It is of course shown under Lion Ferry A/B.

Sources variously give Rederi A/B Bore as being owned or managed by Gustaf E. Sandstöm or Sandtröm, Stranne & Co. (Lloyds notes that the latter was operating from at least 1907 and still going in 1937). Whilst the flag is also given by Lloyds 1912, Brown [Wedge] 1929 and 1934 vary by giving the flag as blue with a yellow frame enclosing the diamond with its cross paty though the 1929 edition records as Rederi Bore Cordelia and 1934 unfortunately omits the name, merely showing in brackets that of the operator. Sandström. Stranne & Co. also owned or managed Afrikanska Angfartygs Aktiebolaget which had a quartered flag of blue and yellow bearing a white circle edged blue and charged with a blue "S".
