image by Martijn Nekkers, 9 November 2021J. Van den Akker Bergings en Transportbedrijf, NV (Salvage and Transport Co)
was established in 1929 by Johan v.d. Akker a former fisherman, born in
Maassluis in 1892. His first salvage vessel had the name Jacomina. Johan died in
1968. For the bigger part the company's home base was Rotterdam. Hence the
colour white and green for the flag and funnel livery. After 1971 the home base
was changed to Flushing (Vlissingen). The company had the practice to change the
company livery regularly. In 2003 the company stopped its activities.
