The City of Nanaimo flag is a banner of arms and is square (1:1), as seen
on the arms at the
city website

The picture "in the cloth" shows colour to the ship in the first quarter.

Nanaimo has replaced its banner of arms with a letterhead on a white sheet. The
logo can be found on the city's website and
spells out "City of Nanaimo" in large capitals, and "The Harbour City" in
smaller letters underneath. The flag is 1:2, and there are definitely two shades
of blue in the logo.

I don't think
the flag has been officially replaced; the "city emblems" page at
http://www.nanaimo.ca/EN/main/municipal/city-council/TheCitysEmblems.html
still shows the banner of arms under "city flag." The logo flag would appear to
be an informal - or parallel-use - addition. The emblems page also shows a large
version of the logo (which comes in two slightly different versions, labeled
"City Logo" and "Community Logo", of which this is the former.
The logo may echo the two blue waves in the shield.
