Triangular pennant vertically divided in white and blue (2:3) with blue chained anchor in the white field. Previous sources (Flaggenbuch, Singha) have a flag for this duty all white with blue anchor (i.e. without blue fly part), but the Singha beer site notes that this version is "nowdays discontinued". Supposedly it would be 1979 the year of introduction of the modern version, although we may only speculate the reasons for the change. (visibility, distinctivness?) Source: Album 2000

[...] yet another pennant, all white with a blue anchor, appears as Dienstalterstander or "seniority pennant".
