At
ebay there is a copy of the flag
of Arabian Maritime Lines Ltd. This company was formed in 1986 and was based in
Sharjah with its ships being chartered out initially to the German company
Norasia Schiffahrts GmbH and then to Mediterranean Shipping Co. S.A. who were
initially an Italian firm but later became based in Switzerland. The flag is
based on the Norasia format which can be seen, incorrectly, under Malta [I sent
a long comment on them last year outlining their somewhat complex situation
which has not been actioned].
The complexities of domiciling a company when charterers and managers and agents
are involved and can be based in different countries has lead to Arabian
Maritime Lines Ltd. being listed as a Swiss maritime company on the page "Swiss
navy and Swiss flags at sea" but Lloyds gives Sharjah.
The same mislead is given by the Nüsse site with the table flag which was
presumably obtained through the Swiss Norasia subsidiary.
By the format there was a connection between the two, but as Arabian Maritime
apparently no longer exists and Norasia has disappeared into a merger, this
remains unsolved to me.

Gulf Agency Company (GAC) introduces itself as "the world's leading provider of
shipping, logistics and marine services wherever you go." GAC was founded in
1956 in Kuwait by a group of Swedish shipping specialists. Its networks covers
today all five continents. In January 2002, GAC shifted its corporate
headquarters from Athens to Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai. Dubai has long been the
home of GAC's largest operations base.
The house flag of GAC, or at least the flag shown on the company logotype, is
blue with a yellow elongated hexagon charged with the red letters GAC. I guess
that the blue and yellow colours recall the Swedish origin of the company.
