Tankfracht

$[Tankfracht housefal]$ image by Eugene Ipavec, 14 Sep 2006

Here is what I have found on Tankfracht, starting with this photo (‘Excalibur’): click the camera next to ‘2006’ (bottom of page) which leads to the photo proper.
Known as ‘Tankfracht Werner Kortmann GmbH’ („tankfreight“), this Hamburg based firm shows its “full name” logo here.
Besides this modest web presence, we find the Dutch office ‘Oeltrans Tankfracht BV’ at Papendrecht.

A note on the company founder (in Dutch) is here (dated 31 Aug. 2004): saying that Mr Werner Kortmann, almost 66, has died suddenly. He was no longer active and had a good reputation among tanker bargemen, private and otherwise.

Now the lowercase ‘t’ logo is the last but one on this Vlootschouw page dedicated to ‘Commander’: Rather purple than blue, the logo bears a yellow parallelogram on which is placed a purple stylized lowercase initial ‘t’. On the other hand the house flag on the photo is rather blue than purple.

Tank Partner

image by Eugene Ipavec, 8 Aug 2006

‘Tank Partner Chartering Company Ltd’ or TPA for short, founded in 1989 – is established at Kaltenkirchen and presents itself as “Europe’s first and only international private shippers' tanker company “. Company website: “Partikulier” meaning a shipper who owns his barge: “TPA Tankpartner are focused on mineral oil transportation on the Rhine including its tributaries, and the canals of Western and Northern Germany. All the large mineral oil firms and many mineral oil traders are clients of ours.”
The text goes on describing the fleet (from 1000 to 4500 metric tonnes, these last in push combinations) and acknowledges the trend towards double-hulled vessels, one ship being active and more being built or planned. The shares are split up between private shippers (60%) and the management (40%).

The TPA logo (but it is a house flag!) is linked to this webpage. It is quarterly divided white above green (hoist) and red above white (fly) and bears the words ‘Tank’ and ‘Partner’ in black on the respective white fields. It can be seen – but not very clearly – on the barge ‘Galaxy’, see clickable photo on this page.

Heinrich Thordsen

Heinrich Thordsen K.G., Husum - per saltire blue and white; in center white disk, red intertwined "HT". (the saltire is a bit off; dunno whether that's intentional)

J. Tideman & Co.

image by Jorge Candeias, 22 Dec 2004

Here's another simple white saltire on red. With a difference, it seems: this time the saltire appears to be broader. Another difference is the readability of the caption: this one isn't exactly entirely clear, but the OCR-tracer in my brain was able to come up with an approximation: J. Tiefemant & Co.
Jorge Candeias, 22 Dec 2004

See the on-line 1912 Lloyds Flags & Funnels (Sailing Vessels section) - aka "Rhederei von J. Tideman & Co., Bremen" (No. 2085).
And No. 2086 looks familiar, doesn'it?

Carl Tiede

image by Jorge Candeias, 14 Dec 2004

The flag is a broad spanish fess of blue and white with a yellow 8-pointed star in the center, that includes a wide blue border and something red within the border. I think this red thing is a T, shifted to the bottm, but it seems to me that there's something else above the T. I can't be sure. Anyway, it's quite an attractive design.
The caption seems to read "Carl Tinde", but there's also some margin for correction here.
Jorge Candeias, 14 Dec 2004

It's "Carl Tiede" - shares of this company can be seen here and here. Click to enlarge, the ships on these shares fly house flags and name pennants; what's more, a larger flag picture is used in filigrane. According to these pages, the company was established in Wismar and active 1899-1909.

Transeste Schiffahrt

Transeste Schiffahrt, G.m.b.H., Hamburg - flag white over blue; in the center the firm's arms. (could the apparatus be a camel - to lift a vessel from one waterway to another?)

Transport & Service

image by Jorge Candeias, 26 Feb 1999

Transport & Service GmbH & Co. - White with two narrow horizontal stripes at the bottom in blue and orange. The logo is centered on the white and consists of the letters 'T' and 'S' united by a wavy line. I am not sure that the logo is like I depicted it. It was in the original image, but the flag there was artistically rendered, and it could have caused distortions in the logo.

TransRussia Express

Horizontal stripes in dark blue, white, red and black. A mixture of the Russian colours with those of Poseidon, the mother company.
