Just as Ben Line Agencies (Hong Kong). If I remember correctly, these
where apparently two quite unrelated shipping lines, at least in what their websites was concerned, although the connection is pretty obvious.

Pacific International Lines (Pte) Ltd. as it was renamed 3.6.1971 having been
formed in 1967, has used the same flag format for some of its subsidiaries/joint
ventures by changing the lettering. Thus Advance Container Line of Singapore has
"ACL", Pacific Eagle Lines Pte Ltd. of Singapore "PEL". See
also P.T. Pilindo Megah Selatan "PMS" of Indonesia.

Company founded in 1993, mainly involved in container shipping.
Flag: five horizontal stripes red-white-red-white-red with black central letter
S covering the middle three stripes. As can be seen on the home page, the black
S may partly overlap the top and bottom stripe when painted on a funnel. But a
funnel may show a painting of the flag as well.

The old Straits Steamship Company operated out of Singapore. The Company was associated with the Blue Funnel Line (Alfred Holt & Co.) Liverpool. It was operating for around 100 yrs up to the late 1950's when it was bought out by Kepal.
John Bax, 6 July 2001
Flag is blue ground; white cross on red diamond, according to Lloyd's Calendar (1957). Grote Elsevier Atlas (1951) has an image for Straits Lines (Gr. Br.), which I have used to make this image. The funnel in Elsevier's has a thin white line between the black and blue (as on the Blue Funnel funnel).
Jarig Bakker, 6 July 2001
Talbot-Booth (c1934) shows a large diamond with the corners almost touching the edges of the flag, but Stewart (1953), revised by Styring (1963), shows a small diamond with the corners well back from the edges of the flag.

Straits Steamship Co. Ltd. is a Singapore company formed in 1890. It was shifted
briefly to England after the Japanese invasion in WW2 where it was re registered
as the Singapore Straits Steamship Co. Ltd, returning to Singapore in 1945 and
reverting to its original name. Alfred Holt & Co. had acquired an interest in
1926 which subsequently was held by Ocean Trading & Transport plc who sold their
58% interest in 6/1983 to Keppel Shipyard. In 1993 the company changed its name
to Steamers Maritime Holdings Ltd. and it still operates under the control of
the Keppel Corporation Ltd. Most sources show the flag diamond as being either
completely throughout or nearly so with a company ad in the Singapore Times in
3/1990 supporting the former. I do not know whether the flag was retained on the
last name change. The source showing the funnel having a narrow white line
dividing the blue from the black would appear to be incorrect. All regular
sources show a white funnel with a black top separated by a very broad blue
band. It sounds like the authors may have shown the Blue Funnel flag (blue with
a black top) with the white line occurring because of the colouring alignments
not being quite right.

synthetic fibre bunting. It has a cotton hoist and is machine sewn. A rope is
attached."

The same flag, with a V instead of the T, is/was used by the Valles Steamship Co. Lt. (Hong Kong). Both companies are/were most probably related.
