It is a white over red horizontal bicolour with a black, serifed inscription "RuK". This pattern, also the ring of the black company funnel, was only used for two fishery vessels KEHDINGEN and DITHMARSCHEN.

It is a white flag divided by two thin, red, horizontal stripes. Between the stripes is a black lozenge containing a white inscription "R & M". The flag pattern is also the ring on the black company funnel. That's the usual Carsten Rehder houseflag with different inscription.
