The company originated in 1915 as Peder Smedvig
Shipping Company. During World War II, 4/5 of their fleet was lost. Presently
heavily involved in offshore drilling operations.
Phil Nelson, 20 January 2006
A photo of the company's house flag is presented on
the Smedvig family's website.
Josef Nuesse's "Ships and Flags" website shows the company's house flag as
swallow-tailed.

Well, it's apparently a photograph, but I don't
know what it is. However, we quote Phil Nelson, 20 January 2006:
"Presently heavily involved in offshore drilling operations." While that
may have been true at the time, in the course of that year they withdrew from
the offshore industry.

The company was founded in 1867 in Drammen. The
flag is red with a thin blue stripe on top and bottom and a white lozenge,
charged with P&W in black, in the middle.

Jarig Bakker, 27 December 2005
Josef Nuesse's "Ships and Flags" website
shows the company's house flag with a black "B" and a black diagonal.
The company and its house flag originate in the shipyard founded in
1925 in Svelvik by Yngvar P. Berg. Relocated in 1931 to Drammen, the
shipyard was renamed accordingly, from Svelvil Slip & Verksted to
Drammen Slip & Verksted. In 1954, Peter Y. Berg, the founder's son,
increased the development of the shipyard; in the 1970s; the shipyard,
managed by Berg father and son, released 2 to 3 ships per year. In
1972, the building and repairing activities were allocated to two
different branches of the company. The shipyard specialized in the
building of big (150 m in length), refrigerated ships for the swift
(average speed, 23 knots) transportation of fruit, known as "Drammen-type". There were 43 Drammen-types ship built,
of which 31 in the Berg shipyard. The last ship, with hull number 101, was released
in 1986. Since then, the company, still chaired by Peter Y. Berg and
his two sons, Yngvar P. Berg and Christian A. Berg, specialized in
ship repairing.
The house flag of Drammen Slip & Verksted is similar to the house flag
of the Peter Y. Berg shipping company, with the company's logo in
stead of the "B".

The descriptions are different. Does
anyone have that 1995 edition of Brown's to check that's what it looks like?
As I read it, what he's still leader of is the holding. And it does say that all
activity is in the company set up for the repair work, Drammen Skipsreparasjon
AS., but doesn't mention whether that's still limited to repairs.
It looks like they are now at
http://www.drammen-slip.no/, which is more complex than we were led to
believe.
What about the shipping company? Every time I find something about a Peter Y.
Berg ship, it always seems to have a separate shipping company set up just for
that one ship. Has there ever even been a Peter Y. Berg shipping company, or do
we have to look at all these separate companies that may all have their own
charge in the flag?

Pilen (English: THE ARROW) was an only-passenger fast ferry catamaran, which
ran a service between Copenhagen and Malmö. The service probably was
discontinued after a railway and bus connection between the two cities had been
established a few years ago. I can’t guarantee the existence of a flag, my image
is based upon the company logo as displayed upon a ticket. Description of
flag: It is a red flag with a white arrowhead pointing upwards over two white
waves.
