The flag is made of synthetic fibre bunting and is machine sewn; the design is printed. There is a cord running through the hoist with a wooden toggle. Normandy Ferries began service in 1967 on the Southampton to Le Havre route in joint operation with the P&O-owned General Steam Navigation and the French S.A.G.A.
