![[Falck Shipping]](../images/n/no~hffal.gif)
The company was founded in 1862 in Stavanger by
Thomas S. Falck (1829-1889), the Norwegian consul in Newcastle (United Kingdom).
In 1936, it was renamed Jacob Falck ANS, Jacob Falck being the Swedish consul in
Stavanger. The company was eventually renamed Falck Shipping A/S in 1984. The
flag is a red swallow-tailed pennant with a white star in the middle.
Ivan Sache, 2 December 2003
The company house flag appears in Lloyd's Book of
House Flags and Funnels (No. 781, p. 74) with slanted top and bottom edges, as
shown graphically on the corporate website.
A plate of the "Atlantic" three-master, which sailed under the Falck flag in
1901-1911, shows the
flag with horizontal top and bottom edges.
Josef Nuesse's "Ships and Flags" website shows the photo of an actual flag also
with horizontal top and bottom edges.

Seat: Hammerfest
The company was established as Finnmarkens Amtsrederi
in 1916, in order to operate local steamship services, which before had been
run by Bergenske and Nordenfjeldske on governmental contracts. The company
was renamed in 1925 to Finnmark Fylkesrederi , due to the renaming of
districts from “Amt” to “Fylke”, and to the current name in the late
1930ies. After WW2 the company took part in Mosjøen – Hammerfest express
service and its largest two ships were chartered for the coastal express
service. In autumn 1988 the company became a partner in the express line by
purchasing LOFOTEN. But the ship was sold in January 1997 back to OVDS.

In 1998 “Fosen Traffiklag ASA” was acquired as a daughter of Torghatten. Their
houseflag was a red-white-red horizontal triband. (see:
http://ferjekiosken2.mamutweb.com/subdet206.htm). Both companies merged in
2009 and the name was changed again to Torghatten ASA.

Much of the Fred. Olsen company is still based in
Norway, as well as in Liechtenstein, the Channel Islands, etc. The company is
involved in shipping, manufacturing of watches (Timex), etc. Fred. Olsen also
owns much land in Gomera, one of the Canary Islands, which explains the Líneas
Fred. Olsen with a houseflag similar to that of the Norwegian company but
with the colours of Spain.
Jan Oskar Engene, 5 February 1999
From the postcard collection sent to Martin Karner,
the postcard #10, 3rd row, 2nd flag of [o9oXXb] reads «Fred Olsen Line» and
shows this flag.
