The house flag of Dongnama Shipping Co., Ltd is shown on a container: yellow, a blue initial ‘D’ (serifed) in the centre.
From http://www.cn-dnal.co.kr/eng/company/history.jsp
Founded 1967 as Dong-sue Shipping Co., Ltd: a local tramper company widening out to container shipping (1974) and global tramping in the ‘seventies. Name change to Dongnama in 1984. 1989, joint venture with Sinotrans (China) named Sinkor Co., Ltd, a container service followed by Wei-dong Ferry Co., another joint venture. Further expansion in the region but tramper service continued as well (Middle East). 1998, cooperation with other S. Korean firms Han Jin Shipping and Heung-A Shipping; in the same period, furher expansion of container transportation, and subsidiaries established. Joined Seven Mountain Group in 2005 (now named C& Group).
An impressive list of current subsidiaries and agents (stretching from Vladivistok to Karachi) is found here.
Quote from the Service Info/Container section:
[Dongnama] began its first container service in 1974 to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries and now operates pan-Asian service networks covering Southeast Asia, China, Japan, and India. Recently, [Dongnama] started services for Russia.
In 1979, [Dongnama] was the first domestic shipping company to have container services to Malaysia and Indonesia (…,…) currently operates a fleet of some 80 ships covering 32 routes throughout Asia and will soon broaden its service to include all regions of the globe.
Most (container) ships listed on the site do not fly the national flag but are
under foreign registry.

Blue logo on white. The logo is a thick ring with an "H" inside, linked to the
ring by semi-circular shapes. Gives a distinctive yin-yang flavour.
