Honour Australia’s maritime legacy with distinction. The 2400mm x 1200mm woven Red Ensign Flag is a large-format, high-quality flag that pays tribute to the country’s naval and merchant history. Traditionally flown by Australian commercial vessels, the Red Ensign remains a powerful emblem of seafaring pride, service, and sacrifice.

Its vivid red background, deep colour retention, and reinforced stitching make it perfect for flagpoles 9 to 12 metres in height.

A Flag Rooted in Australia’s Maritime Story

The Red Ensign has long been associated with Australia’s merchant navy and shipping tradition. While it shares its design elements with the national flag, its red field sets it apart as a distinctly maritime emblem:

• The Union Jack signifies Australia's historical ties to Britain and the Commonwealth.

• The Commonwealth Star represents the federation of states and territories.

• The Southern Cross constellation reflects Australia’s identity in the southern hemisphere.

The Red Ensign continues to be proudly flown at ANZAC Day services, Merchant Navy commemorations, and heritage events to honour the service and sacrifice of those who worked Australia’s trade routes and defended its shores.
