Eugene Ipavec, 9 Jun 2006I should be plowing (or navigating 8-) ) through websites such as this one - Russian River Ships - but one at a time, as they say. Nevertheless, have a look here: Caption: "the pennant of Belaya River Shipping Company (2005)" as found on this page:
According to Britannica, the Belaya - a Bashkortostan river - is a tributary of the Kama River (which flows into the Volga):
As to the company, I'm only too happy to quote this site: "The Belaya River shipping line has a large number of passenger, cargo, tug, roads-tug and other vessels, barges, and 'river-sea' ships, which can sail in the Azov and Black seas right up to the mouth of the Danube. Vessels of the shipping line carry passengers and freights along the Volga, Kama, Don, Belaya and other rivers of Russia. (...) The BELAYA RIVER SHIPPING LINE organizes tourist trips and carries 120,000 passengers during navigation time."
Webmaster of the RRS site is Aleksey S. Yablonskiy who puts up his own photos, such as the above, accepts contributions, and provides interesting links.
There is a house flag page on his site, too,
with the important remark "Only the soviet-time inland shipping companies
are listed, whose history has become the part of the russian river fleet's
history. Since 90's some of them divided into smaller enterprises; many new
shipping companies were founded."

Well, I don’t really know from the graphic at the
webpage
what is really the company flag. Could be white
with the letters in blue, the one I drew, white with
"ERMA" coloured in degradé from blue above to
red below, or white with both letters.

Considering their webpage on
company history, I suspect this company is the same as soviet
Northern Steamship Co.. If so, they changed the
flag, as usual, but it is still to be known the house flag of this company in
pre-soviet times.

According to their
website, the flag is white with company initials in stylized red and
blue.

White with nearly horizontal blue-white-blue
stripes at the top and at the bottom. At the center,
a FIAV-like knot in
blue and red. The blue is a light blue. Nice flag!.

Soviet era Volga United Steamship Co.
Red pennant with white star. I saw this in magazines of the 1970ies. I
think it really used until the 1990ies.

I have seen this one in use on the top mast of some passenger ferries
in Cheboksary (by the Volga), several times
during the last couple of years.

This is new flag of the Joint-stock Society Enisey River Steamship
Company (Енисейское
речное
пароходство)
on the Enisey River in Central Siberia and in the Arctica.
Mikhail Revnivtsev, 06 Nov 2005
Which company cruised the Enisey in the soviet times? If it was
North-West State River Steamship Co., then
the logo-on-white design might have been influenced by the
soviet era predecessor company…

Are two official variantes of the flag of the ERSC:
blue logo (PANTONE 3005C) on white flag
or white logo on blue (PANTONE 286C) flag.
