Taiyo Kaiun K.K. Formed 1917 and still operating as
part of the Kawasaki Kisen K.K. group. Translates as Ocean Transport Co. Ltd.
Neale Rosanoski, 5 March 2003
The Taiyo Kisen K.K. flag is a horizontal multiband
of 4 red and 3 white with the middle white forking up in the centre to reach the
top of the upper white band and from this point extending to the flag chief as a
vertical white band. This is a popular name and through various editions of
Lloyds I have found some 12 allegedly different companies since the 1950s. It
probably relates to the company still operating based in Osaka formed in 1950
but apparently a Japanese book domiciles the company in Tokyo and it may
therefore apply to one of the small companies recorded over time as being based
in that port.

Tamai Shosen K.K. was formed 1937 and is now part
of Mitui OSK Lines. Many Japanese companies are now known by their equivalent
English titles but this company actually changed its name to Tamai Steamship Co.
Ltd.in 1987.
