So what is the Red Ensign flag and what does it mark? The Red Ensign flag holds a special place in the heart of the UK Merchant Navy. It is their official flag, representing their rich heritage and dedication to maritime trade. This distinctive flag features a red field with the Union Jack in the canton - a proud symbol of British identity. Every year on September 3rd, we commemorate Merchant Navy Day.

From ship captains to deckhands, engineers to stewards, these brave men and women ensure that goods reach our shores and keep our economy thriving.
