It seems the company now spells its name "Buksér og Berging AS"
("Bjergning" is an old spelling of the word meaning "salvage".) More about the
company, with the house flag in the
website banner.

Bukser (Buksér), now usually means "towing" -- "Towing and Salvage Ltd".

company website version

Flag image taken from the company website. Here, the partition is per ascending diagonal and the B’s are placed differently, in fact the lower one encroaches on the white triangle but I cannot see whether it is pushing itself in front of the upper initial as well.
Company head office at Oslo, part of the Neptun Group. The Norwegian house flag site gives the version shown in Brown [4], above.
In fact, I have not found any photo of the “new flag” whereas the “old” one is easily found
painted on funnels. So for the moment, this one is a flagoid.

Regarding the company website
flag image, one of their tugs is showing the "BB" connected logo on its
funnel/superstructure [modern tugs have little in the way of a funnel
now and the main logo of Jarig's flag is placed on the white
superstructure outlined black instead of being placed as an on outlined
panel on a black funnel]. This funnel, or a version of it appears on the
Norwegian site referred to by Jan and that shows the website flag,
albeit with orange instead of red, so perhaps they are [slowly] in the
process of changing their image. I have a tug photo dated August 2005 in
which the original flag is flying.
