The flag is pretty simple: quartered per saltire of white and blue.
But the caption... it seems to have two initials in the start, the first
being an E or, less probably, an L, and the second being a C. Then, there's
a long word that begins with and S... Schrasbet?! Finally, the thing seems
to end with a "& Co.".

That is "E.C. Schramm & Co., Bremen".

This interesting page
presents German towage companies and their sturdy vessels: One of these
firms is Hans Schramm & Sohn (i.e. Son, jm) GmbH & Co. KG established
at Brunsbüttel (see middle of page).
We are shown a flagoid,
also encountered on the funnel of ‘Parat’: Blue field with red cross throughout,
in centre a white shield with black initials ‘AS’.
See second photo on this Tugspotter
page (‘Moritz’- apparently no longer with the firm) for a real item,
photo by Wout and Leon Ahts, and ‘Corvin’, also on a Tugspotter
page (first photo by Hans Vuik, about one third down); Company
website, using the house flag in a see-through fashion: We learn that
the firm was founded in 1926 near the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal at Brunsbüttel
and therefore is active on the North Sea as well as on the Baltic (the
canal links both seas) and in inland shipping, too. At the moment
27 vessels of various kinds (tugs, floating crane, pontoon, tankers, etc.)
are operated.
Moreover Schramm provides maritime services such as mooring, cleaning,
warehousing, containment of oil spillage, etc.
A much smaller shield appears on German eBay offer no. 160181255392
(end 23 Nov 2007) put up by “maiti35” who said it belongs to “Heinrich
Schramm”, surely a mistake.
FOTW-ws page on the flag of Oldenburg which
obviously inspired the above.
