Hinomaru Kisen K.K. appears to cease to be an
independent owner by 1970 being involved in a joint venture with Nippon
Yusen Kaisha for a little while after.

Hyundai uses the same flag worldwide. The flag and the logo have changed on 1 March 2006. (information by member of staff).
Description of flag: It's a blue over orange over red horizontal tricolour with white fimbriations between the stripes.

Description of logo: The logo shows two equilateral triangles, a yellow one partially superimposed by a green one.
The yellow area is wider in the redesigned version- the green area and the yellow of the triangle symbol is in a ratio of 8.5 to 1- a more stable form.

from Ishizaki Kisen website
Ishizaki Kisen Co. Ltd is a Japanese shipping (ferry) company linking the towns of Hiroshima, Kure, and Matsuyama.
According to this Spanish! Wiki page, the firm is over 130 years old and part of the Kintetsu Group (not found among current group members, jm): adding that in 1995 two routes to and from Matsuyama (company seat on the island of Shikoku) were closed.
In an attempt to compensate for rising fuel costs, a further route was abolished this year.
Operated are Sea Max (hydrofoil) and a more traditional vessel, shown on the website.
Well, there is the flag (shown as a drawing): see attachmentThe flag uses the national colours, red and white: white field bearing a red circle enclosing what looks like a double arrow, placed horizontally.

The company website is in Japanese only.
The company seat is Hinase (Okayama prefecture; west of Osaka).
The ships shown on this site are tankers – gas tankers, most of them.
The flag: on a white field a blue compass
rose of sixteen points in the centre of which is a double ring enclosing a
Japanese character (first character of the company name I gather).
