To be honest, I first encountered the flag and then the company, only to find that the tangible item – the flag “in the cloth” – was different from the items on the company site… or so I thought at first. Reederei Clermont is a tourist shipping company operating out of Wismar, a German (formerly East German) town on the Baltics. Websites (the first one is official) here and here.
Founded in 1990, this family business now operates four ships of which two are newly built. Routes include visits to the harbour and immediate surroundings (have a look at the WWII concrete ship), to the island of Poel, chartered trips, and a regular line to nearby Wendorf. Also possible are marriage ceremonies on board ship, presumably when the weather is not stormy (yet). 8-)
Now the flag, seen as a drawing on above sites and on several photos is white with a blue ascending diagonal stripe, a blue initial ‘C’ in the upper hoist and a blue steering wheel in the lower fly.
But a German eBay auction item 9531901274 (ended 23 June 2006) shows a version with a broad descending diagonal, the ‘C’ lower and the steering wheel higher. See the original photo rotated and mirrored to bring it into line with the company version (tell-tale camera watermark now in the upper right corner, on its head!).
I am convinced that the attachment, as sent, shows the house flag correctly.

The company itself would seem to be have been very shortlived with only
one vessel, "Commerz", which was delivered 11.1.1954 and sold 28.5.1954.

![[Contchart (Shipping Company)]](../images/d/de~cchhl.gif)
The company (freighting and ship management) was established on 23 October 2012 in Hamburg as a joint venture of MPC Münchmeyer Petersen Steamship and Thien & Heyenga. Before at the beginning of 2012 Thien & Heyenga had founded the freighting company Contchart Hamburg Gmbh & Co. KG. MPC purchased 50% of the shares and the company was renamed. On 3 December 2012 GB Shipping became a third partner of the company. The fleet managed was then restocked from 102 ships up to 170 ships. The flag combines the colours of Eastern Frisia (blue - red - black) - representing Leer - and Hamburg (red - white).

The flag is not only clear, but also quite striking: quartered of white
and red with a black cross over all, whose arms join in a disc, all bordered
in white and fimbriated in black. The caption is a nightmare. It seems
to me that the main word begins with a C but I won't risk an interpretation
of the rest. Next, we've got what seems to me a "Rh" abbreviation, and,
to end, a "A.G." abbreviation.
Jorge Candeias, 23 Dec 2004
That is "Continentale Rhederei A.G., Hamburg". (A.G. = Aktiengesellschaft
= Limited Company).
