The source website shows the central circle is outlined black and this is supported
by Lloyds 1904 and 1912 [1] and by the cap
badge appearing in Collectors Corner. The company originated in the 1890s being
operated by F.B. Walqvist who sold it to J.E. Mann in 1918 who in turn restructured
it as the Nya Ångfartygs A/B Heimdal. I cannot find anything on the company thence
until the early 1950s when it is shown by Lloyds as being operated by Rudolf Hellberg
who appears to have operated from the same address as Manne. US Navy 1961
[8] shows a similar flag for Hellberg but
with a larger circle though this may mean nothing. Whether it is the original
flag, despite the name change of the company, or a version adopted by Hellberg
for his own use as he is shown as owning a vessel as well as operating those of
Nya Ångfartygs A/B Heimdal, is unclear. J.E. Manne also had a similar flag but
with an "M" although in this case the circle is shown as smaller, both by the
cap badge in Collectors Corner and [even more so] by US Navy 1961.

Helmsig & Grimm is the wrong name. This should read Svenska Lloyd Rederi
A/B [as is shown by Stewart], also known as Swedish Lloyd,
and was adopted about World War 1 to replace the previous flag of yellow with
a blue saltire apparently to avoid confusion with the Russian Naval Ensign.

Formed 1988 to operate the port and owned by
the city. The flag as shown by a Collectors Corner cap badge is white
with, what I take to be, a stylised "H" [see h118]
with the badge appearing to show a darker and brighter blue but going
by the design appearing on the tug "Kullen" and the logo on their
website a softer shade seems likely. The tugs
themselves are under the ownership of Helsingborgs Bogser A/B and from
around the mid 1990s they have been under the managerment of Bogser
Team Oresund A/B and a photo of "Kullen" in August 2006 shows that they are
now using the manger's livery with the flag being white, a pair of
blue wavy lines, the black legend 'BOGSER TEAM ORESUND AB" with the
words decreasing in size and underneath the black outline of a hook
attached to a black chain which is drawn out straight as an underline
to the bottom words [see b635].

Had A/B Bellis of
Stockholm as agents. Brown 1978 shows a blue flag with a broad white horizontal
band bearing a blue "H" and domiciles the country as Liberia
but that would refer to the sole ship's registration.

Based Malmö the Collectors Corner cap badge
flag shows as blue with a white saltire surmounted by an undefined
white circle bearing a blue "H". The
company appears to originate from Ture Hillström who was operating
from the early 20th century at least, both names being shown by Lloyds
pre-World War 2 but fading out in the mid-1960s.
