Deutsche Binnenreederei AG - it is a red flag with a blue edge with white fimbriation at either edge without the hoist. In the centre of the flag is a white anchor with a chain.
I spotted this flag on 15 January 2007 on top of Rödingsmarkt-office of the company.

Deutsche Binnenreederei AG was established in 1989 as the successor of VEB VEB Deutsche Binnenreederei, a DDR shipping company. The flags of both are similar. Today the company has two main branches in Berlin and in Hamburg (Rödingsmarkt 26). The company became recently a member of Odratrans group.
The information was given by Mr. H.Tominski. For further information see company website.

Baltic Lloyd Schifffahrt-Spedition-Logistik GmbH
The company today is located in Rostock. It was established as a 100% daughter of Deutsche Binnenreederei (DBR) on 7 August 1997, based on cooperation with “Moskauer Binnenschiffahrt”. The purpose was inland/coastal shipping in the Baltic countries, incl. Northwestern Russia, the river Rhine and the North Sea and Baltic Sea. Due to troubles on Russian market the company didn’t succeed and DBR looked forward to sell it.
On 1 March 2000 it was bought by Rostockian businessmen Rolf Kroeger and Manfred Reining and advanced to a modern logistics company, due to the motto: shipping, transport, logistics, freighting and storage, all in one. The company acquired the logistics branch of Finno-Swedish paper manufacturer “Stora-Enso” in the same year.
In April 2001 the logistics company “Horst Mosolf KG”, dealing exclusively with cars, was acquired. Since then all transports across the Baltic Sea are logistically accompanied by Baltic Lloyd.
In 2003 “BALTIC SEA TERMINAL” in Rostock was completed and the company was able to run a complete harbour and logistic service.
Since 2006 there is a branch in the new built port of Lubmin. In Szczecin, Kaliningrad, Hamburg the company is represented by agents.
