    Schiffsservice Berlin

    [Schiffsservice Berlin] image by Eugene Ipavec, 8 May 2009

    Alluded to in a message concerning Merkur Schifffahrt-Baustoffe, the yellow pennant seen here represents Schiffsservice Berlin (DE), click first photo in row of three.
    Company website, German only: This bunkering firm at Berlin-Spandau, founded in 1959, was taken over by I. Gersbeck in 1998 and currently employs eight people.  Three bunkering vessels ply the Berlin inland waters (one of them accepting bilge) every day, a shipchandler's shop is maintained, and quayside space offered to vessels in transit. Additionally, the firm operates a tourist shipping terminal.
    House flag: Red-bordered yellow pennant, proclaiming name of owner "Ingo Gersbeck" and company "Schiffsservice Berlin" in black letters without serifs (two lines), plus the Berlin bear, also black, in the lower hoist corner.
    These are in fact the national colours although, of course, the traditional Shell red & yellow are most prominent.

    Schleppschiffahrt auf dem Neckar

    [Schleppschiffahrt auf dem Neckar] image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, based on image located by Jan Mertens, 5 Nov 2008

    Towage on the (River) Neckar Ltd is the meaning of this company name. Established at Heilbronn, this venerable firm was founded in 1877 to carry goods on the River Rhine's tributary, the "towage" refers to the fact that for a number of years transportation was operated, literally, by barges being pulled along a 114 km long chain on the bottom of the river. The idea was to compete with the ever-expanding railways.  From 1935 on the river was fully canalized and steam (later diesel motor) vessels were put into service.  The company was taken over by Reederei Schwaben in 1972.

    German WIKIPEDIA, a photo showing navigation on the Neckar (before 1885):
     A 'Binnenvaart' page shows the flag as a drawing and flying on steam tug "Otto Konz" (colour photo):
    The flag has seven horizontal stripes black-red-black-white-black-red-black, the central (white) one being somewhat wider and bearing the serifed company initials "S.a.d.N." in black; next to the hoist is a vertical stripe in counterchanged colours RNRWRNR.  Black and red are the old Württemberg flag colours.
