Danube Steam Shipping Company (Donau-Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft, DDSG) was
established in 1829 in Vienna and was also granted the right to fly the postal
jack and masthead pennant in 1849, continuing the practice until the end of the
Empire. The modern company maintains the ships and Danube and still uses the
same flag. The house flag of the DDSG is the red-white-red triband with the blue
inscription "DDSG" in the white stripe and a yellow cabled anchor over the red stripes.
