At sea, it is the flag of the Bahamas. IN port, it is the Mickey flag.

If you check out the flags at the top of the ship you will see more flags. One of them is the port the ship is in at the moment.

It is the civil ensign which is the version of the flag that commerical vessels registered in the Bahamas fly.

I saw a flag on a ship that I am not able to identify using your Flag Detective site. The flag was like the flag of Denmark but the upper left quadrant of the red cross design was blue with a yellow pennant coming into the blue quadrant from the left edge of the flag. The name of the ship was the Tecam Sea. Any ideas?

Sounds like the civil ensign of the Bahamas - many ships out there are of Bahamian registry because of tax laws, so you would see its flag on the seas quite a bit. It looks like the Danish flag (a red flag with a narrow white St. George's cross, and 1:2 proportions), with the Bahamas flag in the canton (upper-left corner).

Merchant Vessel registered in Bahamas hoist the Bahamas civil ensign. A foreign Flag merchant vessel calling at a Bahamian port for commercial operations will hoist it too. There is no minimum size to the emsign, it just depends on the ships size.
