Echoship ApS

Echoship ApS is a Danish shipping company established at Svendborg (Fyn). Homepage - in English - showing the house flag as a drawing and as a table flag is at http://www.echoship.dk/. Founded in 1990, the firm is active in complete management of coasters (in Europe), currently 26 in number, and freight brokerage (globally). Sawn timber, it is stated, is the most important bulk transported; then there are grains, fertilizers, steel products, etc.

The house flag is white with a thin blue border; in the centre is a blue logo made up of four horizontal rows of stacked timber above three stylised waves.

The real item may be seen flying at "Crownbreeze" and "Thea Marieke":

I noticed that the flag of Echoship ApS is very close to that of Nielsen Chartering A/S also of the town of Svendborg. Echoship would be the continuation of Nielsen Chartering.
