Langeland-Kiel Linien. This appears to be the later flag, also shown by Brown 1995, However Josef also shows a second flag of white with the black letters "L" and "K" on either side of a short black line [see dk~l90b.gif attached] which fits a 1975 description of the funnel marking. The company, formed in 1965, sold its last vessel in 1998.

J. Lauritzen, Esbjerg. Flag: 2:3 red, green hoist and fly triangles, both approximately 80 degrees, centered on the flag a white bar, 1/3rd of the flag's depth long, and 1/3rd of the bar's length wide. This company has a whole history of flags, I believe, one or more flags like these among them. I made some notes on this last year. At that time this company was still active and its flag still flew from the Copenhagen waterfront.

J. Lauritzen. According to Loughran (1979) the 2nd version with letters was adopted in 1974 and ships on the polar run were then entitled to use the United Nations flag as a stem jack.
