Description of flag #1: The flag was divided per saltire into white(hoist
and fly) and red(top and bottom). At the top edge was a horizontal black
stripe, at the bottom edge a yellow one. The main field was superimposed
by two yellow rings, superimposing one another (like the symbol for wedding).
In the left one was a black “LB” (for Lloyd Brasileiro) and in the right
one a black “AL”(for Alianca). Source: Arnold Keller; director region Europe

In 1984 Empresa de Navegacao Allianca SA and Lloyd Brasileiro Patrimonio
Nacional, both located in Rio de Janeiro founded SCAN BRAS Joint Service,
located according to BÜHNE in Botafogo. Two vessels ran a circle line Rio
d.J.- Santos – Pagua to Oslo, and from there to Aarhus –Göteborg – Malmö
– Stockholm – Helsinki, there and back again.
In 1988 Transroll Navegacao SA, located in Rio d.J. joined SCAN BRAS.
As Transroll refused the funnel with the initials “LB” and “AL”, a
new flag and funnel were created, replacing the initials by a black inscription
“SCAN” and “BRAS”, each placed on a white background upon two black arrows.
Another flag was created, with a yellow inscription “SCAN” and a red
inscription “BRAS”, but according to source this flag had never been used
officially.
The three companions gained 33.3% of the profit each. Allianca was
the main actor and all decisions had been made in Hamburg despite of company
location in Botafogo. Transroll and Lloyd Brasileiro played the role of
“quiet participants”.
In 1991 the company was dissolved. Allianca bought bigger container
ships and the business was maintained via Hamburg since then.

Description of flag#2: The flag was divided per saltire into white(hoist
and fly) and red(top and bottom). At the top edge was a horizontal black
stripe, at the bottom edge a yellow one. The main field was superimposed
by two yellow rings, superimposing one another but thicker than in
flag#1.
In the left one was a black inscription on white background “SCAN”,
superimposing some kind of black arrowhead, pointing upwards. In the right
one with “BRAS” instead and the arrowhead pointing downwards.
