Shipowners, brokers and yard representatives, based in Oslo, the company also operates one tanker barge in the port of Oslo. The flag is white with the blue monogram, probably a representation of the L and O of the company name.
Ivan Sache, 30 November 2003

A close look at the website emblem on www.lorsa.no seems to me to show that the "L" is actually a dark purple with the "O" being a dark blue.
