Carl Robert Eckelmann

Carl Robert Eckelmann is a salvaging company operating in Hamburg port. Flag and funnel look the same. It's a blue flag with a roundel in its centre. The roundel is vertically divided in a white half(hoist) and a red one(fly).
I spotted this flag on 9 June 2006 in the harbour area.

centre.

O.L. Eichmann

This one is simply a blue cloth with a white "E". The caption is still practically illegible. Could be something like "O. L. Eishmarc", though...
Jorge Candeias, 8 May 2004

Looks like O.L. Eichmann to me, and indeed there was such a company - it operated out of Hamburg.

Reederei Cassen Eils G.m.b.H., Cuxhaven - blue flag, over all white cross; in center white disk, black cross formy, white "E".

Theodor & F. Eimbke

Theodor & F. Eimbke - The company was founded by Theodor Eimbke and was named "Theodor Eimbke; Fr.Brödermanns Nachf". Theodors brother joined the company and it was renamed "Theodor & F. Eimbke". The shipping branch started business in 1869. In May 1910 the last ship was sold and since then the shipping branch was discontinued. The company used a white flag with horizontal red stripes on both edges. In the centre was a red roundel with a white Hamburg-gate therein.

EMS Shipping

Dov Gutterman spotted the link of EMS Shipping & Trading GmbH: flag: quartered per saltire black, red, blue, red; in center white disk, black "EST".
Santiago Dotor, 11 Nov 2003

Note that the colours of the quarters are those of the East Frisian flag - the company is located in Wilhelmshaven, Emden and Leer.
Stefan Schwoon, 13 Nov 2003

Thomas Entz Tanker

The flag is blue with a white lozenge touching the edges and a big red E in the center. Once more, the caption doesn't seem to have enything to do with the initial. It seems to read something like "M. Jetser, Hamburg". No E's that I can distinguish...
Jorge Candeias, 8 Jan 2005

Wolters' See und Seefahrt (1968) has: Thomas Entz Tanker GmbH, Rendsburg, with diamond not touching the edges and serifless "E".
Jarig Bakker, 9 Jan 2005

E.R. Schiffahrt

Dov Gutterman spotted the link of E.R. Schiffahrt: flag: horizontal white - blue - white, proportions 1:4:1; on center of blue white "E.R."
Santiago Dotor, 11 Nov 2003

Europa Canada Linie

Europa Canada Linie - The company was located in Bremen and seemed to have only two ships. Those were the SEVEN SEAS (blue funnel) and the RIJNDAM (yellow funnel with green ring with white lozenges). The company might have been established in the 1940's, but I have no further details.
Description of flag: It is a chequered flag of mainly green and white. The green rectangles are in the flags corners. In the centre was a red rectangle with a white lozenge and a green maple leaf within the lozenge.

Albert Evers und Classen - This company used a black flag with a red diamond touching the edges with a white capital "O".
