The 18 November 2007 updated of the Maritime Timetable Images site yielded following interesting house flag, that of ‘Rederi AB Halland & Nornan (Hallandsbolaget)’, Sweden listing passenger and goods routes linking Swedish, Danish, and German ports.

The house flag shown on said brochure is a pennant, horiziontally divided blue over yellow, bearing one white six-pointed star on the upper stripe and two on the lower which are red and green, respectively.

Allowing for a little speculation, the pennant in the Maritime Timetable source would then be the combined house flag for Halland and Nornan, a firm which amalgamated with the former in 1928 (brochure published three years later). In other words, the Nornan pennant would by then no longer have been in use.

Hallands Ångbåts AB founded in 1850 specializing in passenger traffic between Gothenburg and Lübeck and (later) to Fredrikshavn which came to be called Gothenburg Frerikshavns Lines or, commonly, Sessanlinjen. 1924 taken over by the Broström group. Amalgamated with AB Nornan (mainly goods transportation) in 1928, the new company name being AB Halland & Nornan. After World War II growing competition by other forms of traffic caused the firm to be closed by Broström.
