The company used a blue splitflag with horizontal orange stripes on the upper and lower edge and an orange capital "N" shifted to the hoist.

Neue Dampfer-Compagnie

image by Jorge Candeias, 7 Dec 2004

The flag itself is a red over white bicolour, charged with black capitals "NDC" across the center. The caption is quite blurred, but guessing a bit I can suggest that it
reads something in the lines of "Neu Dampf Co.". There's a third word there, but that's too blurred for my mental OCR-tracer.

Quite, see the image at No. 601 'Neue Dampfer-Compagnie, A.G., Stettin' (formerly Germany) at the on-line 1912 Lloyds Flags & Funnels.
According to this page the company, founded in 1855, received the 'NDC' name in 1862 (what was the original name, then??) and was again renamed in 1923,
becoming the 'Stettiner Dampfer-Compagnie A.G.'. It was active in the Baltic and the North Sea and even, regularly, in the Orient.
Starting 1924, there was close cooperation with the HAPAG and Roland Linie companies under the direction of the Deutsche Levant-Linie; firm liquidated end 1930. The share on this page shows the Stettin griffin's head (click to enlarge); possibly the 'NDC' flag had been changed, with the firm's name, in 1923.
(PS: another company named 'NDC', founded 1886, was engaged in local shipping at Kiel. The ships were nicknamed the 'Black Steamers'.).

Now a Cypriot shipping company.
Jan Mertens, 28 Nov 2005

The firm was founded in 1964. Being fed up with the German cold weather and high taxes, Herr und Frau Oldendorff emigrated southwards mit den Kindern and settled in Limassol, Cyprus in 1987. There was no change either in the name or the house flag of the company.

Nordische Handels- und Reederei Gesellschaft

Nordische Handels- und Reederei Gesellschaft m.b.H. The only thing I know is that the company was established after WWI, probably 1919. The man in charge was a certain Max R. Wogatzky. The company had close connections to "Nordische Handelsgesellschaft Hachfeld, Fischer G.m.b.H. Fischer was also Partner in Schröder, Hölken und Fischer, which was established at the same time and dissolved in 1925.
The company used a white flag divided by a red saltire superimposed by black serifed capital letters "NHR".

The company was renamed in 1924 to "Nordische Reederei und Handelsgesellschaft (Schenk& Orth)". In 1928 the last ship was sold and the company dissolved.
The company used a black and white flag divided by saltire, the white quarters cotized red. In the centre of the flag was a shield divided per fess. In the chief were black letters "S&O" in a yellow field. The base was divided per pale with inverted Hamburg colours in the right side rotated clockwise 350^o and and the colours of Elbing in the left side rotated clockwise 50^o.
