The company is based in København. White flag with a big red "O" in the middle and a blue vertical stripe placed along the hoist, charged with a representation of the constellation of Orion in white. Orion was a giant hunter, who offended the goddess Artemis. As a punishment, she killed him and changed him into a constellation. The three stars placed in diagonal in the middle of the constellation are known as Orion´s Belt.

[Flag of A/S Det Compagnie Oversøiske] image by Jarig Bakker, 19 Dec 2004

The company was based in København. It was a red flag with white disk and red swastika. I guess this is an overseas company, trading (f.i.) in India.

[Flag of Othello Shipping Co.] image by Eugene Ipavec, 29 May 2009

The company is based in København, specialised in the transportation of LPG and chemical gases, and part of the Ultragas group (Chile).
Source: company website (in English).
Othello´s tanker fleet counts seventeen ships: eleven of them are operated by Rotterdam based Unigas, three by Unigas Kosan (Hong Kong), and three by Maersk.  Crewing and maintenance on the other hand are taken care of by Bernhard Schulte (Cyprus) and Star Management (Japan). The "Fleet" page (upper menu) presents the various ships most of which are registered in the Isle of Man or Singapore: seehere.
The house flag is divided quarterly white (top, bottom) and red (hoist, fly) and a double black ring in the centre representing the initial "O". The point, where the four triangles meet, remains hidden.
