This was a joint venture by the Halfdan Ditlev-Simonsen & Co. of Norway and Rederiekatiebolaget Transatlantic of Sweden which appears to have operated between at least 1948 and 1954 using vessels of the two principals. According to US Navy 1961 [usn61] there were two sets of livery which saw the Norwegian ships use a red swallowtail with a white diagonal band from lower hoist to upper fly bearing the blue letters "POE" [p377], and the Swedish ships a version which was tapered and had a blue field in lieu of red and black letters [p376]. The former flag, which is based on that of Ditlev-Simonsen, is supported by an image which appears on a pamphlet on Time Table Images which apparently states that the company was wholly owned by Ditlev-Simonsen even though Transatlantic ships were shown on the sailing list. This may have been a bending of the facts because it was publicizing one of the Ditlev ships. The Swedish flag has no connection with that of Transatlantic though the basic funnel colours do.
