Dampskibs-Aktieselskabet "Progress"

[Flag of Dampskibs-Aktieselskabet Progress] image by Ivan Sache, 16 Nov 2002

White flag with a red seven-pointed star in the middle, an elongated and symmetrical Danish national flag placed along the upper edge of the flag, and a red stripe charged with "PROGRESS" in white placed along the lower edge of the flag. I guess this is an other Maersk-related company.
Ivan Sache, 16 Nov 2002

No, not Maersk. Besides, the company seems to have gone belly-up in the summer of 2000. There was talk of a management buy-out, but that seems to have failed.
Ole Andersen, 16 Nov 2002

The company was based in København. Assuming that this is the company now known as D/S Progress, it is still shown by Lloyds operating through Progress Ugland Ltd. which is a joint venture with Ugland International Holdings plc, formed around 1999. Whether the flag is used by this concern is unknown. D/S Progress is shown as being formed 1904 and again by presumption it is the company [as D/S A/S Progress] which was operated by Marius Nielsen & Søn and used their flag as shown elsewhere on this page. This association seems to have altered around 1960 when O. Amsinck are shown as the operators, from the same address. By the early 1970s Amsinck are no longer mentioned and D/S A/S Progress seems to have ceased as shipowners around the latter 1980s, next being traced as D/S Progress in the late 1990s. Nothing is known of when the flag shown here was adopted.
