Flag Description
The flag of Hong Kong depicts a stylized, five-petaled, white orchid against a red field. It’s been Hong Kong’s official flag since 1997, symbolizing the ‘one country, two systems’ principle behind the city’s reunification with China. Infor from: www.theculturetrip.com
What is a Courtesy Flag?
A nation’s courtesy flag should be flown by all vessels when entering a nation’s territorial waters for the first time (and for the duration of the stay in that country’s territorial waters).
The flag should be flown from the starboard spreader in a position above any other flag. Motor vessels that do not have a dedicated signal halyard should fly the flag from a prominent position instead (e.g. the VHF aerial).
The flag should be in a good state and of reasonable size as some officials take offense at yachts that fly a torn or tiny flag.
