E. Anquetil's Société Les Affrêteurs Réunis of E. Anquetil went bankrupted in 1923. In 1924, Les Affrêteurs Français was created. According to a company share, the house flag of the new company is green with three stars in canton and the white letters CAF. The company had connections with Chastellain, an other shipowner from Rouen, in 1957.
