See also:Currently a subsidiary of Imperial Reederei (formerly Haniel),
the firm transports bulk goods such as coal, wheat, fodder, etc. The company
operates its own ships and has more than thirty private bargeowners under
contract. Seat: Hannover. (Incidentally, Imperial also owns the Märkische
Transportgesellschaft)
Company website. The house
flag is a long pennant, bearing a red diamond in the white hoist showing
the white (prancing) horse of Saxony on a green ground; black
initials NVGH surround the diamond; the fly has four stipes RWRW which
seem to converge in the point. Surely the ‘H’ stands for Hannover.

Niedersächsische Verfrachtungs-Gesellschaft mbH: The company
is part of Imperial Reederei Gruppe.
My image is a reconstruction based on a file from the Company
website. To me it seems to be a rectangular flag and the base of the
diamond seems to be black. My reconstruction is however a little bit doubtful,
because the ships of that company don't use flags but plates on both boards
instead with a different version of the horse of Lower Saxony (more uprising
within a red "rectangle" with concave vertical sides). On the prow of the
ships is a third version (no black base in the diamond, horse is facing
the other side, letters are red instead of black).

This image (not completely in view, alas) lifted from yet another German
eBay offer (item no. 150105461841, end 3 April 2007, offered by “bundeszentralregister”).
It is being described as a new “mast flag”, triangular, about 120 cm in
length – so no table flag as I falsely remembered.
