Description of the flag

The flag of 3. maj (= Third May Shipyard) in Rijeka is blue with a red lozenge bordered white and bearing the logo.

The story of this shipyard begins in 1892, when the German shipyard company Howaldts Werke from Kiel built a smaller shipyard on a coastal area called Brgudi, not far from the city of Rijeka, where a small facility for repairing wooden ships was already operating.
Changing owners and countries, the shipyard changed its name several times, from Danubius and Cantieri navali del Quarnero to Kvarnersko brodogradilište (= Kvarner Shipyard) and finally 3. maj (=3th May) according to the date of the liberation of Rijeka.

Some consider this date to be the date of the occupation.
