Zürich A.G. Jarig's flag of blue with a white horizontal band narrower than the
two resulting blue ones presumably comes from the company's website where it
shows as a moving logo. Another flag has been associated
with this company, which was formed in 1995 as J & W Shipping A.G. and changed
name in 1998, being blue with a yellow diamond bearing a black crossed "Z". The website
http://www.swiss-ships.ch which shows a slightly different version from the
table flag but there is a possibility that this flag belonged to an earlier
company of the same name which operated as a ship owner from 1952 until 1970.
Its role thereafter is unclear and it appears to have ended up as part of the Rhenus
Group with its name lasting until 1996 when it became Rederei Basel A.G. before
being finally wound up in 2000. The swiss-ships website associates the flag with
a funnel of blue with a white band bearing the red letters "RZ" which does
belong to the later still operating company. But the normal association between
funnel and flag would appear to be closer to Jarig's image than the version with
the "Z".
