The basic design of some of these flags (at least Santa
and Napsa), per saltire red and white, is identical to
the 1825-1822 national flag of Peru.
António Martins, 08 Dec 2005
Red flag with a yellow sun with 16 triangular rays (alternating
large and small) and facial features on a white lozenge; around it the
company incicials in squarish white sans-serif capitals: "C" (hoistwise,
above), "P" (flywise, above) and "V" (bellow, centered).
António Martins, Oct 20 2005
Josef Nuesse’s site has a flag with three letters, identifying the firm as Compañía Peruana de Vapores S.A. (CPV) and showing a real “Peruvian” sun on a broad lozenge. No doubt the little disk was meant to portray a sun in the 1930 versions. (Funnel: yellow with a black top, a red band with a yellow diamond separated from said top by a narrow yellow band.)
So the diamond seems to have become a broad lozenge. And one letter has been dropped, reflecting no doubt a change in the firm’s name. The line was founded in 1906, was really a state company, and closed down in 1990 as the government wanted to stimulate privatization.

The single house flag from Peru in the 1930 Larousse Commercial
house flag pages [hok30]:
The Cia Peruana de Vapores y Dique del Callao is shown as having a
red flag with a white diamond (height about 1/3 of the flag’s own
height) having a little yellow disk in the middle and white letters
in the four corners: CPVD.

This flag from Brown 1995 as
shown by Jarig changes the 1982 version which had black letters of slightly
different shape. The answer, going by the Joseph
Nüsse table flag, was one with very dark blue letters of another format again. Their active involvement in ship operating appears to
have lasted from the 1960s through to the early 1990s but there current status,
if any, is unclear.

The official website says «Consorcio
Naviera Peruano S.A.», which also makes sense in Spanish (noun and its modifier
adjective gender matching).
This page says they are
agents of CSAV, Libra
(?), and MST (Mineralien Schiffahrt Spedition und Transport GmbH).
António Martins-Tuválkin, 18 December 2010
The contibutor says that thecorrect spelling of CNP according to their home
page is ...Naviera... If you follow this link you can see immediately that they
spell it ... Naviero... Further on their homepage ideed says they are general
agent of SCAV, LIBRA (Compañía Libra de Navegacao) and MST. But MST is not
Mineralien Schiffahrt Spedition und Transport GmbH but Maritime Shipping Trading
Inc.

It's just a minor typo, probably (and most likely due to a translation
error). In Spanish, "Consorcio" (Consortium, Conglomerate, Group, etc.) is a
male-ending word (that is, the word that comes after, in this case a Noun, has
to have a male ending). So, in this case, The word "Consorcio" must match
Naviero (male ending word, with "o"), and not Naviera (female ending with "a").
Don't ask me why "o" is male and "a" is female. I don't make the rules, I'm just
interpreting them.

[lgr95], Naviera Amazonica Peruana S. A.,
Lima — flag per saltire white and red; in center white oval bordered
red, red "NAPSA".
Jarig Bakker, 09 Jan 2006
Naviera Amazónica Peruana S. A. (NAPSA) was founded in 2 March 1970 in order to develop river transportation in the Peruvian Amazonia. This was the beginning of oil extraction in the Peruvian forest and a scheduled line was required to transport oil products and to export the products of wood exploitation. The first ship of NAPSA was M/N Yacu Mama. The company set up its headquarters in Iquitos and has been since then one of the main companies in Loreto.
M/N Yacu Runa I was launched in 1971, followed in 1973 by M/N Yacu Guagua, allowing to reach the ports of the Gulf of Mexico from Iquitos in 21 days. The first ships were later replaced by M/N Yacu Taita, Yacu Pato and Yacu Caspi. In the 1980s, the capacity of the company was ever increased by the launching of bigger ships, M/N Yacu Wasi and Yacu Wayo, and again in the 1990s with M/N Yacu Puma and Yacu Runa II.
For basic commercial purposes, NAPSA was split in the 1990s into Naviera Yacu Puma S.A. and Agencia Naviera Maynas S.A. At the end of the 1990s, oil extraction was drastically reduced and the company reduced its service to one ship (M/N Yacu Puma) per 60 days in Iquitos, chartering extra-ships when required by wood exportations from Loreto.
