The ferry company of Sogn og Fjordane has a swallow
tailed field with a white rectangle with a blue saltire in the middle.
Jan Oskar Engene, 20 November 1995
The flag of Fylkesbåtane developed from a Norwegian flag signaling system
introduced in the early 1800's. This required ships to fly a white flag with a
letter corresponding to the town where the ship was registered. The letter for
Bergen was X, which is still seen on the Fylkesbåtane flag. The white field soon
had borders added, mostly in red and blue, in all sorts of variations. The red
borders on the flag of Bergen are an inheritance of this signaling system.

This company – founded in 1854 - is still active, but in another capacity i.e. offshore supply vessels and sub-sea contracting: http://www.dsnd.com/
As you can see, the flag is still there although the fimbriation, certainly, is much smaller.
DSND Inc., as it is now called, has collaborated with Halliburton Subsea to form a new company called Subsea 7 (subsea engineering): http://www.subsea7.com/
DSND is based on the Cayman Islands but still active, for instance, around Norway. Supplementary information here: http://www.under-water.co.uk/2001/052000about4.htm
From the website:
The company DSND has with effect from Monday 12 July 2004 changed its name to SIEM OFFSHORE. The company’s web site can be accessed by the following link: www.siemoffshore.com.
Although the logo is rather pleasing, recalling a Viking sail, it does not
come near an old and hallowed flag.

The company was founded in 1855 as the Stavanger
Traders' Association. It was initially a local ferry company and it is today a
subsidiary of Folke Hermansen AS. The flag is horizontally divided
red-white-red-white-red (2:1:2:1:2) with a blue triangle placed along the
hoist and charged with a white star.

Stavanger - like Puerto Rico, with 6-pointed
star.
Jarig Bakker, 4 February 2005
This company was operating its ships under Norwegian registry and had the
Norwegian flag hoisted on the rear staff. Two other flags were hoisted from
cables in midship, the Danish flag in starboard and the Swedish in the port
side.
António Martins, 21 October 1999
Sundbusserne is no longer running Norwegian colours. They flagged over to the Swedish ship registry and they are are flying Swedish flag since September 2001.
A passenger ship traditionally fly small national flag of the port city
she left and the port city she is heading for at some high point midships,
usually the mast.
