Suisse-Outremer S.A. de Gérance et d'Affrêtement Maritimes was formed in 1953
by Transports Maritimes Suisse-Outremer S.A. and was based in Geneva. The checky
flag of Phil is presumably taken from
Stewart (1963). Unfortunately
U.S. Navy (1961) shows the flag of
the original parent company, Transports Maritimes Suisse-Outremer S.A., as being blue with
a gold cross which is voided at the fesse point by the field [see
below] which results in unequal sized compartments. There may have been
slightly different versions for the two companies though this seems unlikely
to me and judging by the funnel marking the checky version seems more
fitting. However the site http://www.swiss-ships.ch shows an image in line
with US Navy against Suisse-Outremer.

In 1963 Suisse-Outremer S.A. de Gérance et d'Affrêtement Maritimes was bought
by Baron H.H. Thyssen-Bronemisz and transferred to Zürich, apparently being
renamed Suisse-Outremer Bereederungs und Befrachtungs A.G. changing 1978/9 to Suisse-Outremer Reederei AG.
In 1988 the Baron retired with the company, which he had owned privately being
sold but by 1999 the company activities had ceased. For the time under the
Baron's ownership, going by the swiss-ships website, the flag was red with a
blue triangle extending throughout from the fly on which was a grey dolphin
swimming to the fly.
