Blue flag with a white symbol in the middle. The symbol is basically made of a white ring divided by a white cross. Parts of the ring are omitted.

This is indeed an accurate description, but I'm sure that this symbol is
meant to be a stylized "Ć", for "AE", the initials of the company name.

My impression of the flag in Josef's site is that the blue is darker. The
company is a P&O subsidiary so that a shade of royal blue seems likely.

White with a thick red border and a black anchor.

The flag is that of the British company William Thomson & Co. who date
from 1820 and operated mainly through Ben Line Steamers Ltd. with fleet names
usually starting with "Ben". The current operations are under Ben
Line Group Ltd., still based in Edinburgh. The anchor is dark blue although
the origin of this image comes apparently from the Hong Kong agency company
formed in 1987 and their website shows it as black, I would think probably in
error. Griffin 1895 shows a black foul anchor which would seem incorrect on
two counts. A variation was used by Ben Line Containers Ltd. who were formed
in 1972 as a joint venture with Ellermans, the anchor being replaced by a
black arrow bent into 3 sides (like the ACT design] with that to fly being
empty and within this the black letters "BLC". Ellermans were later
bought out and presumably the company was absorbed back into the group.

By 1980 Lloyds was showing the Hong Kong company of
China Merchants Steam Navigation Co. Ltd., initially with vessels being
operated by COSCO. Later in the 1980s
Hong Kong Ming Wah Shipping Co.
Ltd. appears and this probably explains the CMSNC omission in the
first half of the 1990s in Lloyds Shipowners but they do appear still
in Lloyds Shipowning Groups as a subsidiary of China Merchants
Holdings Co. Ltd. and operating the fleet through subsidiaries Hong
Kong Ming Wah, Huawei Offshore Shipping Transport Co. Ltd. etc. all of
which appear to have their own liveries.
