I found that Neale Rosanoski indicates in his album 3 waves for Nielsen´s house flag with the following note: "Brown shows the design as taking most of the flag field and funnel band and shows only two wavy lines in base. (Brown 1995 No. 676 notes). History: -1985-1992-" Josef Nüsse shows on his website a flag with 3 waves like Nielsen Chartering. Echoship would be the continuation of Nielsen Chartering.

In 2010 Clipper Group (Management) Ltd., who were the largest shareholder, divested all of their tanker activities. A consolidation of a number of tanker companies of Nordic origin. As from 1 May 2012 Nordic Tankers A/S and Herning Shipping A/S. operated under the same ownership after Nordic Tankers A/S announcing 27 March 2012 that they had entered into an unconditional agreement to sell their chemical tanker activities to a company controlled by the European investment firm Triton effective 30 April 2012 and would in future provide tonnage of a fleet of six product tankers and change its name to Nordic Shipholding A/S with management to be taken over by the Danish company Tankers Inc. The flag is white on top a light blue rectangle with cut out arc at lower edge, on base is a dark blue drop (see left image above).
