After Brown’s Flags and Funnels, 1995
[lgr95], Portline - Transportes Maritimos
Inter-Nacionais S.A., Lisbon - white flag; in center horizontal, partly wavy
stripes of green and red, separated by a thin black stripe; in top fly black
"Portline".

This logo, with a narrow green stripe over a wider red one is the
common national flag based motive for a
number of logos of Portuguese state-owned transport companies in the late
1970ies: At least Portmar, Portline and TAP,
the later in use till early this year. It is interesting that the most
distinctive part of this pattern, the narrower-ness of the green stripe,
was ignored by J. L. Loughran [lgr95].
The shade of green is dark, not light, as expected considering that this
pattern is inspired in the Portuguese national
flag.

I recently could confirm this from the publicly available PDF version of
the cargo and freight supplement of Portuguese newspaper Público (which
itself is not freely on line), which shows many advertisements of shipping
companies, most of them in vectorial format, or at least as
hires raster -- so the GIFfer may zoom the PDF and capture the screen.
Here is an "official version" of the Portline houseflag (see right image).
