The original flag of the founder Knut Knutsen was white with a large black
"K". The current flag probably dates from around 1984 when the
Knutsen family sold out

Kornelius Olsen was established in Stavanger in 1883. In the 1960s-1970s, the
company operated deep-freezing ships such as "Byfjord", "Fjord Hidle" (sold in
1988), "Fjord Frost" and "Snefjord". The tankers "Lijord" and "Gansfjord" were
sold in 1972. The company sold its last two ships, the container ships "Trader
Paraguay" and "Marchand Paraguay", in spring 1993, and eventually winded up in
early 2004.

"Lifjord", obviously, and it's probably "Gannsfjord", although the current
spelling of the fjord's name is "Gandfjord". (It's the fjord Stavanger lies next
to.)
The mention of the tankers is: "Rederiets to siste tankskip "LIFJORD" og
"GANNSFJORD" ble solgt i 1972.": "The shipping company's last tankers, "Lifjord"
and "Gannsfjord" were sold in 1972." So, they are mentioned because they were
the last tankers.
The flag is supposed to be light green (#0c0), rather than standard/unspecified
green (#090).
This page
mentions Kornelius Olsen's Stavangeren sailing on the Red D Line (once). I
wonder if that means it actually flew the Red D.

The company was founded in 1967 in Bergen by
Kristian Gerhard Jebsen. It started with two coastal vessels, and is still fully
owned by the Jebsen family.

Jebsens was first organized by Kristian Jebsen under the banner of Kristian
Jebsens Rederi AS (KJR) in Bergen, 1929. Operations began with its first two
2,500 dwt newbuildings. The company grew steadily through the 1930s, emerging
from the Second World War as a small shipping company with majority interest in
small bulk carriers and medium-sized tankers. In the 1950s, KJR expanded its
fleet with 15,000 to 22,000 tonners, the handy-size bulk carriers of that time.
When Atle Jebsen, became President of the company in 1967, KJR sold its tankers.
From then on, the business focused on operating bulk carriers through
long-lasting contracts with commercial partners. In the past two decades, its
niche market is served by specialized self-discharging vessels known as the
Beltships which has a proven efficiency in short sea trading.
Today, with Bjørn Jebsen as the new Chairman from 2009, the Group has over 260
on-shore personnel plus over 7,000 seafarers in its pool. It has a global
network of offices and representatives in ten countries with an integrated
transport service portfolio - ranging from ship owning, shipping, technical
management, crewing and training, to storage and distribution - providing
customers with a total transport and logistics solutions package.

Company website
Josef Nuesse's "Ships and Flags" website shows the house flag of Kristian
Jebsens Rederi A/S, a Bergen-based company, as white with two serrated blue
vertical stripes on the left and right edges of the flag, in the middle a black
"K" with an appendage in its bottom. Also shown on the corporate website, this
house flag appears to have been retained by the modern Jebsen Group.
