Ernst Erdmann, Binnenschifffahrt und Küstenschiffsbefrachtung - The company
was established in Stettin on 17 November 1939. At the end of WWII the
owner became POW and the company fell into some kind of standby modus.
It was re-established on 1 January 1955 in Hamburg. The main business is
freighting of inland- and coastal shipping.

Description of flag #1:
The flag is divided by saltire into white and celestial blue. The blue
quarters are superimposing one another that way that a white diamond, fimbriated
dark blue is generated in the centre, containing a red capital “E”. The
blue quarters have a dark blue fimbriation two.
