The company was based in Gedser on Falster Island. The 1st flag was white with white "GT" in bend in a red shield (see left image above). The 2nd flag was white with white "GT" in bend in a shield vertically parted per fess of blue and red (see right image above). The line stopped business in the 1990s due to the rise of Warnemünde, which made the distance shorter.
