In 1963 Suisse-Outremer S.A. de Gérance et d'Affrêtement Maritimes was bought by Baron H.H. Thyssen-Bronemisza and transferred to Zurich, apparently being renamed Suisse-Outremer Bereederungs und Befrachtungs A.G., changing 1978/9 to Suisse-Outremer Reederei AG. In 1988 the Baron retired with the company, which he had owned privately being sold, but by 1989 the company activities had ceased. For the time under the Baron's ownership, going by the swiss-ships website, the flag was red with a blue triangle extending throughout from the fly on which was a grey dolphin swimming to the fly.

The checky flag of Phil is presumably taken from Stewart (1963).
