I found that Neale Rosanoski indicates in his album 3 waves for Nielsen's
house flag with the following note: "Brown shows the design as taking most of
the flag field and funnel band and shows only two wavy lines in base. (Brown
1995 No. 676 notes). History: ?-1985-1992-?" Josef Nusse show on its website
http://flags.seeleute.net/109.htm a flag with 3
waves like Nielsen Chartering. Echoship would be the
continuation of Nielsen Chartering.

Quoting from the 'Profile' section of the
Nordana website:
"The name Nordana Line is taken from its NORwegian and DANish background. The
service started in 1957 as a joint venture between Norwegian Fearnley & Eger and
Danish DFDS. Later on F & E decided to withdraw and the service continued under
Danish management, but the name remains as strong as ever. Initially the service
was based on carryings from Mediterranean to Caribbean, Central America and
Mexico, and the vessels returned to Mediterranean via USA/Scandinavia. With the
upswing of oil and gas exploration in North Africa, a direct service from USA to
Mediterranean was implemented in 1961, and the calls at Scandinavian ports were
suspended. In 1969 four conventional sister vessels with 85 tons heavy-lift
capacity were introduced in the service to accommodate the increasing demand for
larger and heavier pieces of cargo to North Africa. (...) Nordana Line has since
expanded the geographic scope, improved the frequencies and widened its services
to become one of the premier Multipurpose RoRo liner carriers. Today Nordana
Line is recognized as a specialty carrier..."
Head office in Rungsted Kyst, Denmark. The
Nordana website shows a tiny
flag on a dark blue background - perhaps the swallowtail is really placed
on a blue field?

Jan could be right: the corporate newsletter of Dannebrog Lines:
http://w3t.org/?c=dannebrog. shows the
logos of both Dannebrog and Weco
lines (both parts of Nordana). The Dannebrog logo is a swallowtailed Dannebrog
on a blue rectangle, and the Weco logo is a rectangular Dannebrog on a blue
rectangle. I guess a Danish company called Dannebrog had to use some
adaptation of the national flag as their logo.

At
Nordana website is a promo, in three
languages,
http://www.nordana.com/upload/nordana_film_uk.wmv, and as often happens in
promos, one of the first shots is of the flag. Indeed, it is a split-flag
Dannebrog on a blue field. Not much later is a shot of a beige(?) funnel, with a
narrow blue top and a wide blue band with the same split-flag on it, in relief.

White flag with a big red O in the middle and a blue vertical stripe placed
along the hoist, charged with a representation of the constellation of Orion in
white. Orion was a giant hunter who offended the goddess Artemis. As a
punishment, she killed him and changed him into a constellation. The three stars
placed in diagonal in the middle of the constellation are known as Orion's Belt.
