Though Hans Borge apparently was active in shipping
earlier, he founded Borges Rederi A/S in December 1936.
The company sold the last of its own ships in 1968, but for a while it continued
managing the ships the company bought together with
Skips-A/S Karlander, where the hyphen is missing from the name.
I'm not sure about the green. It doesn't look quite the same as the flag at
Josef Nuesse's website. Maybe we should simply use standard green?

Brødrene Klovning [Klovning Brothers] was
established in 1970 by the two brothers, Odd and Svein Klovning. Svein Klovning
passed away in 1982. Thereafter Odd Klovning owned and managed the company up to
his death in 1993. In July 1993, Brødrene Klovning was transformed into a joint
stock company, Brødrene Klovnings Rederi AS of which the Klovning family kept
50% of the company and the balance by local shipping companies.
The company started its activity in 1970 by ownership and management of dry
cargo vessels. In 1975 the company built and managed the first supply vessel.
The company has been involved both in dry cargo and offshore activities since
1975. From 1996 Brødrene Klovnings Rederi AS managed the chemical tanker "Trans
Borg." From 1998 we managed the product tankers "Norsk Drott" and "Norsk
Viking". Brødrene Klovning Shipping AS was established in 1997 as a management
company and is a 100% owned daughter company of Brødrene Klovnings Rederi AS.
Brødrene Klovning Shipping AS operates today four small chemical tankers in
special market segments with long-term contracts to first class charterers
Nordic Tankers A/S, Denmark. The first of four sister vessels was received from
Volharding Shipyards Newbuilding, Harlingen, The Netherlands, in 2006. The three
last were received in 2007 and 2008.

It seems the company now spells its name "Buksér og Berging AS"
("Bjergning" is an old spelling of the word meaning "salvage".) More about the
company, with the house flag in the
website banner.

Bukser (Buksér), now usually means "towing" -- "Towing and Salvage Ltd".

Flag image taken from the company website. Here, the partition is per ascending diagonal and the B’s are placed differently, in fact the lower one encroaches on the white triangle but I cannot see whether it is pushing itself in front of the upper initial as well.
Company head office at Oslo, part of the Neptun Group. The Norwegian house flag site gives the version shown in Brown [4], above.
In fact, I have not found any photo of the "new flag" whereas the "old" one is easily found
painted on funnels. So for the moment, this one is a flagoid.
Jan Mertens, 6 January 2007
Regarding the company website
flag image, one of their tugs is showing the "BB" connected logo on its
funnel/superstructure [modern tugs have little in the way of a funnel
now and the main logo of Jarig's flag is placed on the white
superstructure outlined black instead of being placed as an on outlined
panel on a black funnel]. This funnel, or a version of it appears on the
Norwegian site referred to by Jan and that shows the website flag,
albeit with orange instead of red, so perhaps they are [slowly] in the
process of changing their image. I have a tug photo dated August 2005 in
which the original flag is flying.
