Oh, OK, you've talked me into it! Fred Olsen operated his ships under a number of ownership styles, the most tongue-twisting of which, applicable to the BRUNLA and others, was: A/S Ganger Rolf, A/S Bonheur, A/S Borga, A/S Jelolinjen & Den Norske Middelhavslinje A/S. Much easier to say managed by Fred Olsen & Co.!
