Langeland-Kiel Linien. This appears to be the later flag, also shown by Brown 1995, However Josef also shows a second flag of white with the black letters "L" and "K" on either side of a short black line which fits a 1975 description of the funnel marking. The company, formed in 1965, sold its last vessel in 1998.

J. Lauritzen

J. Lauritzen, Esbjerg. Flag: 2:3 red, green hoist and fly triangles, both approximately 80 degrees, centered on the flag a white bar, 1/3rd of the flag's depth long, and 1/3rd of the bar's length wide. This company has a whole history of flags, I believe, one or more flags like these among them. I made some notes on this last year. At that time this company was still active and its flag still flew from the Copenhagen waterfront.

J. Lauritzen. According to Loughran (1979) the 2nd version with letters was adopted in 1974 and ships on the polar run were then entitled to use the United Nations flag as a stem jack.

Red flag with a trapezoidal swallow tail, a green trapezoid placed along the hoist, a thin white rectangular stripe between the green trapezoid and the fly, and the white letters JS placed above and beneath the white stripe, respectively. This a slightly different Lauritzen's houseflag from that above. There are no letters on it and the flag is made rectangular and symmetrical by adding a green trapezoidal along the fly. That flag is dated 1963.

The 24.flotilla.com website shows this flag with a startling difference as to the size of the white field.

Mols-Linien A/S (Ebeltoft)

image by Ivan Sache, based on Joseph Nüsse website

Blue flag with a white snow flake-like emblem in the middle, with eight rays
Ivan Sache, 16 November 2002

These days, they seem to be using another logo (they may have merged with someone..), as seen on http://www.mols-linien.dk/ I think the snow flake emblem has to do with their (former?) engagement with DIFKO, an investment company.

Mols-Linien A/S. An earlier flag is shown by Brown 1978 which shows the influence of then owners DFDS A/S, being blue with a white cross paty charged with a red "M". In 1984 they were taken over by J. Lauritzen who in turn sold them in 1988 to DIFKO. The flag referred to Ole of blue with a white diamond frame and a logo of golden parallel diagonal panels [see below] has been seen on the Josef Nüsse site. DIFKO are still the owners although Scandlines A.G. took a 40% interest in 1999.
