This one looks more Korean than from Hong Kong: white with a disc centered.
The disc contains a blue outer border, a white inner border and an
assymetrical yin-yang-like disc in the interior: a large red field above
separated from a smaller blue field by a narrow white wavy disc.
Jorge Candeias, 4 April, 1999
This flag is also apparently that of the South Korean company Boyang Ltd.
with any connection being unknown. Fullwin originated 1976 as Full Wind
Navigation Co.Ltd. changing in 1979 to Fullwind Maritime Ltd. and then to
Fullwin Marine Ltd. in 1987.

Hong Kong based Gold Bridge Shipping Ltd is a subsidiary of tanker shipping
company BLT (Indonesia) already present on FOTW-ws. Website:
http://www.gbship.com/
Founded in 1990 as a joint venture and completely owned by BLT owners BSG Corp.
since 1995, the firm’s areas of activity are listed as "shipowner - commercial
or ship operator - technical management - ship brokerage and shipping agency -
storage tank services - other logistical services" ('Corporate Data' section,
upper menu).
Since 1995 also the chemical tanker fleet has been expanded by newbuilds. Currently Gold Bridge is mainly active in East Asia and South East Asia; storage
tanks are operated in SW China. In all, ten vessels are listed and
described (‘Fleet Lists’).
Shown as a drawing on the website, the house flag(oid) is blue with narrow red
stripes horizontally edging the field; white combined - and partly overlapping -
initials "GB" appear in the centre, the first letter higher. This design also
appears on funnels.

GrandFame Ship Management Ltd at Hong Kong seem very flag conscious as we are
treated to a view of the Chinese flag waving above that of Hong Kong (and a
pilot flag thrown in for good measure):
http://www.gfship.hk/eng/index.html and to this nice view of international
flags:
http://www.gfship.hk/eng/network.html
GrandFame’s house flag, by contrast, appears modestly as a little drawing and -
as may be seen on the first page linked to - on a ship’s funnel: blue field with
white lozenge, not touching the flag’s edges, bearing blue serifed initials
"GF".
The company was founded in 1996. Services offered are ship management and
chartering of "all kinds of cargoes", brokerage, consultancy, and agency. A
world map on the site (see second page linked to) situating GrandFame’s
activities places many house flaglets in East Asia, and one in Greece.

"The shipping magn[ate] C.Y. Tung was known as the "Niarcos of the East." He
assembled a fleet of 150 large ships and organized the Overseas Orient Line. One
of his acquisitions was the old R.M.S. Queen Elizabeth which he renamed
the S.S. Seawise University. The idea-- to create a floating university for 800
or so sea-going students.
When I bought this flag I was told that it came off the "Seawise U" in 1972.
It's a good story and makes sense but I can't verify it. Anyway, it is a great
old C.Y. Tung company house flag in wool bunting, about nine feet long. It has
the usual small moth holes but has good color and is sound for display."
Picture
taken from clickable photo
for the moment named (LUOP): dark blue field bearing a white
diamond, fimbriated dark blue, in the centre red entwined initials "CNI" (the
"N" inside the "C" and the "I" extending beyond the "C").
Although this photo is much better than the rather poorly (and unidentified)
eBay table flag pic I once saw a tiny drawing was found among the sponsors of
the HK Maritime Museum.

Ivan Sache, 25 August 2002
Kishinchand Chellaram Maritime Agencies Ltd. changed name 1996 to Chelleram
Shipping Ltd. and then in 1999 reconstructed into Chelleram Shipping (Hong
Kong) Ltd. and K.C. Maritime Ltd. With the change of name Chelleram Shipping
have adopted a new flag which can be vied at the Hong Kong Seite 4 of Josef's
website. The "D" is on this flag is probably connected with the
fleet naming system used where the 1st name is "Darya".
