Naval Reederei

Naval Reederei A.G. - The company was established in 1922. Owner was a certain R.Heckmann. The company sold its last sailing ship in 1928 but kept a few steamships and was dissolved some time in the 30ies of the 20th century.
The company used a blue splitflag with horizontal orange stripes on the upper and lower edge and an orange capital "N" shifted to the hoist.

Neusser Kies- und Sandbaggerei

image by Eugene Ipavec, 6 Aug 2008

A nice find in „Flaggem auf dem Rhein“ (p. 74) was ‚Neusser Kies- and Sandbaggerei GmbH’ meaning, literally, a gravel and sand dredging company established at Neuss, a town situated on the Rhine directly opposite Düsseldorf. This flag reminds of Hülskens and Elskes, as well as the general pattern of the house flag: divided per saltire (blue upper and lowermost, white left and right) with a black cogwheel in the centre enclosing a red initial.
In all, four initials were treated: ‘H’, ‘B’, ‘K’, and ‘E’ (photographic evidence of ‘H’ only). The Neuss company, obviously related to the others, has a ‘N’ within the cogwheel shape.
Although the Hülskens homepage gives a nice overview of its gravel and sand dredging activities, NKuS is not mentioned and I have not found any further trace - but in 1952, at least, the flag was still flying!

Now a Cypriot shipping company.
Jan Mertens, 28 Nov 2005

The firm was founded in 1964. Being fed up with the German cold weather and high taxes, Herr und Frau Oldendorff emigrated southwards mit den Kindern and settled in Limassol, Cyprus in 1987. There was no change either in the name or the house flag of the company.

Nordische Handels- und Reederei Gesellschaft

Nordische Handels- und Reederei Gesellschaft m.b.H. The only thing I know is that the company was established after WWI, probably 1919. The man in charge was a certain Max R. Wogatzky. The company had close connections to "Nordische Handelsgesellschaft Hachfeld, Fischer G.m.b.H. Fischer was also Partner in Schröder, Hölken und Fischer, which was established at the same time and dissolved in 1925.
The company used a white flag divided by a red saltire superimposed by black serifed capital letters "NHR".

The company used a black and white flag divided by saltire, the white quarters cotized red. In the centre of the flag was a shield divided per fess. In the chief were black letters "S&O" in a yellow field. The base was divided per pale with inverted Hamburg colours in the right side rotated clockwise 350^o and and the colours of Elbing in the left side rotated clockwise 50^o.
