According to the company website,
Companhia Aliança de Navegação was founded in 1951 by a German
immigrant named Carl Fischer, who had arrived in Brazil in 1928 and
entered the fruit business. Aliança was originally limited to
coastal trade, since Lloyd Brasileiro, the government-owned line, had
a legal monopoly over the transoceanic traffic. Aliança was allowed
to enter the foreign trade in 1967 and now serves Europe, the U.S.
east coast, the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, and both coasts of
South America. It has 5 vessels totaling 178,000 deadweight tons,
employs 283 people, and had revenues of US $180,000,000 in 1999.
I would speculate that Fischer's German origins would account for the
black-white-red horizontal tricolor that serves as the field of the house flag.
