B.Dettmer Reederei GmbH und Co. KG Bremen - Bernhard Dettmer was working for an old and well known shipping company in Bremen. Therefore he knew much about the business of inland shipping and short sea shipping as well. On 1 August 1947 he established his own company, Nordwestdeutscher Frachtverkehr B.Dettmer und Co. Bremen, together with his brother Wilhelm Dettmer. The company first was established as a mere freight company, loading and deloading the vessels of private shipowners. The shipowners give their ship, their crew and their know-how. The freight company is in charge of the loading, the financial transactions, the treaties and the publicity, a business based on knowing and trusting one another. After the break-even the Dettmers began to build up an own fleet and in 1954 the company had 12 ships, building up another three new ones.

I spotted both, flag and pennant in Hamburg, Billwerder Bucht on 6 April 2007. The flag is hoisted on the mast, the pennant is stuck upon the prow.
