Tsukiboshi Logistics

image by Ivan Sache, 28 April 2007

The homepage of Tsukiboshi Logistics is mainly in Japanese. Still we may be surprised to see an "Arab-like" house flag on Japanese vessels; only the symbol ("moon [and] star") turns out to be that of the mother company, Nisshin Steel.

The house flag is white with two horizontal red stripes seemingly in a 2:1:1:1:2 pattern interrupted by a centrally placed waxing red moon, inclosing a red five-pointed star.

Some of the ‘News’ pages shown the flag on one occasion together with a second house flag unknown to me and on other occasions accompanied by flags bearing green crosses (concerning health and safety I believe).
