F.H.Bertling was representing Mediterranian Shipping Co. S.A. of Geneva(MSC) until 30 June 2006, then MSC opened its own branch in Hamburg.
Both companies obviously also today are working hand in hand and share the same building at Willy-Brandt-Str.49 in Hamburg.
Description of flag: It is a white flag with three waves: light blue above blue above very dark blue. In the lower fly is the name “Bertling” in very dark blue italics.
Source: I spotted this flag on top of companies building on 21 March 2007. Its flag was bigger than that one of MSC.
You can also see a photo of this flag on the website of J.Nüsse.
