The 1933 german sticker album [llz33] says (my translation):
377. Compania de Vap. Sud-Americana - ValparaisoA white flag with a red saltire. S, C, A, V, in blue, in the four quarters, respectively.
Shipping lines: Chile - Peru - Ecuador
Cargo and passenger steamboats: 9
Tonnage: ca 31,200 Regt. brutto.
CSAV, Compañía Sudamericana de Vapores (South American
Steamship Company), is a Chilean publicly traded shipping company, presently
the largest in Latin America. CSAV, one of the oldest shipping companies in
the world, was founded in 1872.

The logo includes a flaglike wavy drawing like this flag.
Jorge Candeias, 08 Jan 1998
A contemporary logo which is certainly much nicer than many…
Jan Mertens, 29 Oct 2003
I cannot see that this is any more than a logo. There is also
the question of the logo background which appears to have been assumed
to be white (logically) whereas the company website now shows a blue
background, both for the logo and its surroundings changed from the
previous grey.

Only one Chilean firm in the 1930 Larousse Commercial house flag
pages [hok30]: Cia SudAmericana de Vapores,
Valparaiso. The author made a mistake and shown under this name the flag of
the Sud Atlántica Sociedad Anónima
de Navegación, of Buenos Aires (well, the company names are
similar).
Jan Mertens, 29 Oct 2003 and 01 May 2004
Larousse Commercialis
[hok30] not the only one to get it
wrong as Talbot-Booth 1936 [tbb36]
makes the same error but corrects it in his 1937 edition
[tbb37].

This Chilean shipping company was founded in 1953. Its house flag is
white with two horizontal thin blue stripes near the bottom of the flag
and a letter S in blue flanked with two blue stars in the middle of the
field. (Source: Somarco website)
