Supervessel Express Co., Ltd at Southampton (GB) has a
website, showing a
flag resembling that of the Syrian firm Al Fahel:
“SUPERVESSEL EXPRESS LTD specializes in shipbrokering and chartering with the
co-operation of Al Fahel Shipping Co.” The firm is a charterer and ship broker.
This page,
oddly, shows two variants (drawings) of the house flag. In the upper left corner
of page: horizontally divided blue-yellow-blue in a 1:2:1 ratio it seems, a
white oval in the centre partly extending into the blue stripes and on which is
placed a blue stylized initial ‘S’ (serifed). Not only the oval, Al Fahel-like,
is leaning to the right but the initial is shadowed in grey as well. On the
right, lower down, we find a variant: horizontally divided blue-yellow-blue, a
white diamond in the centre partly extending into the blue stripes and on which
is placed a blue stylized initial ‘S’ (serifed).
Describing these flagoids may seem rather fruitless – even if
a table flag shows up confirming one or the other we still do not know if a
life-size one exists – but at least they are on record.

Browns Flags and Funnels, 1951 edition (wed51).
The funnel in Browns Flags and Funnels, 1951
edition, is black, with a yellow band on which are 1 and 2 half dark blue
diamonds. The house flag in the book is white with a black diamond on which is
inscribed EJS & Co, in white over two lines. An anoymous painting submitted by a
visitor to this site showed a flag with the letters on two lines.

Registered by James Huddart in 1893 as the Canadian-Australian Steam Ship
Company, the line was to operate a service between Sydney, Brisbane, Honolulu,
Victoria, British Columbia (BC) and Vancouver, BC. The Brisbane call was
abandoned in late 1893 and replaced by Suva, Fiji. From August,1897 the route
became Sydney, Wellington, Suva, Honolulu, Victoria BC, Vancouver. The company
was reconstituted as the Canadian-Australian Royal Mail Steam Ship Company under
the joint control of James Huddart and the New Zealand Shipping Company who took
complete control of the line in 1898.
In 1900 the Union Steam Ship Company of
New Zealand acquired a controlling interest in the company and assumed
responsibility for outstanding contracts and agreements. In 1910 the purchase
was completed and the Canadian-Australian Royal Mail Steam Ship Company became
an integral part of the fleet of the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand.
