Blue with a white lozenge centered and a bold blue "H" in the
center of the lozenge. The original picture had not only this, but also a flag
in reverse colours painted on a truck. This could be a used variation.
Jorge Candeias, 18 March 1999
Shipping operations appear to have been through O/Y Werner Hacklin which
was noted in Lloyds until about 1960 with O/Y Hacklin Ltd. now not involved
directly in shipowning or operating. The 1st flag of blue with the white
diamond bearing the blue "H", which seems to be the main flag and
appears on their website, is shown by Brown 1951 (somewhat incorrectly with a
smaller diamond) and was the band on their funnels. The other 2 flags possibly
relate to their other activities or may be just logos.

From their corporate information:
Phil Nelson, 4 February 2000Hacklin - established in 1908
28 December 1908 is considered the date on which the Hacklin Group was founded. On that date Werner Hacklin, a sailing ship stevedore from Reposaari, and his elder brother signed a contract to start stevedoring in the Meri-Pori area. Having started in Reposaari, operations were gradually transferred to the port of Mäntyluoto.
