It possibly is, or may only be similar to, the flag of Concord Navigation Co. Ltd. which is shown by Brown 1978 with the diamond being throughout and the letters erect. This company seems to have operated in the late 1960s so depending on whence this version has been sourced, it may only be coincidence.

Using the funnel as a guideline Brown does not correctly portray the
star and the four main points should be longer. There also appears to have been a change in the design
going by a table flag appearing on Dunelmpr.co.uk which shows the logo which
now appears on the company website being placed on a white field [see
abive]. Whilst not sure that this is also used for a sea flag, the design has also been photographed on
the funnel of the Ever Gaining in December 2005 suggesting that a change
is underway and the flag is for general use.

Further evidence that the "W" on the white flag is dark blue and not black has
been obtained from a ship photo on the company website which shows it being
flown as a bow jack. Surprisingly another of their ship photos shows a
bow jack version which has a light blue field bearing the dark blue
"W".

Part of the Yang Ming Group. Founded 1972.
From the company website
Phil Nelson, 28 December 2005Yang Ming is transliterated from its two Chinese characters. "Yang Ming" refers to the sun and lightness. "Yang" refers to the sun, whereas "Ming" is the combination of the sun and the moon and often denotes "brightness," "clarity" or "enlightenment."
The logo is a square block shape integrated with our initials "YM". The "Y" stretches out from the bottom to the top, which signifies Yang Ming's endeavor for innovation. The "M" stands for grandeur, width and firmness, which implies that Yang Ming's employee teams work honestly and pragmatically for effective results. Our logo also delivers Yang Ming's core values of "Teamwork, Innovation, Honesty and Pragmaticism."

Brown has not got the panel quite right and going by
the funnel bands the yellow is a golden shade.
