Oslo - white flag, hoisted blue "D"
Jarig Bakker, 25 October 2005

Dyvi was founded in 1955 by Jan-Erik Dyvi. It was the first to construct a purpose-built pure car carrier (PCC) in the 1960s. The company pioneered the Norwegian offshore oil drilling industry in the 1970s, becoming the largest operator before selling this business to Smedvig ASA in 1988. In addition, it took the lead in introducing semi-submersible heavy lift vessels. More than 30 ships and offshore units have been built over the years, almost all of them prototypes and/or special-purpose vessels. The compagny have changed name from Jan-Erik Dyvi AS to Dyvi AS in 2004. web site: www.dyvi.no.

It's hard to find the hometown, but a Google search makes it quite possible that it was Askerøyen in Norway.

Alesund - blue flag, red diamond outlined white; white 5-pointed star.
Jarig Bakker, 4 February 2006

The company J. Hagenæs Shipping AS is still in business and the flag can be seen flying on the office building in Ålesund where the company is based. From personal observations I would say the diamond is larger than in the drawing Jarig sent: It touches the edges of the cloth.
