Sent in by barge spotter Jarig, an image showing the house flag of Van
den Herik, a Dutch construction firm based at Sliedrecht and what is more,
he has seen it in the cloth! Company
website (English version). The site presents Van den Herik as a versatile
firm, founded in the 1940’s and currently active in waterway construction
(industrial as well as ecology-oriented), foundation technology, hydrosurveying,
removal of explosives, road development (construction firm Schouls taken
over in 1990), and waterway conservation. To get an idea, have a
look at the photos in the ‘Activities’ section.
The flag is white, bearing the company logo above the names VAN DEN
HERIK / SLIEDRECHT, the latter shifted towards the right; said names are
rendered in
blue, without serifs.
The logo is rather original, consisting as it does of a yellow disk
bearing a picture of a blue quayside, seen in perspective and from behind
which appears a blue initial ‘H’ connected, on its right side, to a blue
slope above which appear light blue wavelets.

Presenting another “Herik” (short for “Van den Herik”) flag: in fact
this is the rectangular version of yesterday’s pennant – or vice versa,
rather – also found on Marktplaats (Dutch auction site). This particular
item was offered by "Skipvlag": no. 236605078, accessed 13 March 2009.
Yellow field, a large black initial ‘H’ followed by smaller letters
“ERIK” above the black quayside and blue waves we already know. I should
have mentioned that the waves actually touch the ‘H’.
Jan Mertens, 19 May 2009
As many inland shippers like to “repeat” or “echo” their house flags
in the form of a pennant (often twinned), coming across a Van den Herik
pennant is quite natural. Or should I say “Herik” pennant?
Yellow pennant with a black initial ‘H’ in the upper hoist corner,
black quayside and blue waves in the form already known from the rectangular
version, black place name “SLIEDRECHT” underneath the logo and black (shortened)
company name “HERIK” in the fly.
Found on Marktplaats (Dutch auction site) as no. 241297746 (first accessed
12 Apr 2009) put up by “skipvlag”, dimensions given as 1.00 [m] x 1.50
[m]. Original photo is bigger..

Scheepvaartmaatschappij Hernodia, Rotterdam.
Flag: blue field, yellow "H".
A small firm, founded in 1918, which acquired the "Hernodia" in 1919.
That ship was sold to a Finnish firm in 1923, and shredded in 1959 in Sweden,
where there is still a firm named "Hernodia"..

You cannot miss the house flag if you visit the
website of Heuvelman aka HTS Group.
Versions in several languages are available. Some company history
was gleaned from this site (English version ‘Who or what is H.T.S.?’).
Three brothers Heuvelman founded Firma Gebr. Heuvelman in 1985, continuing
the family inland navigation business. Expansian led to a name change
in 1999: H.T.S. Group i.e. Heuvelman Transport Systems being in fact a
group of independent companies uniting three owned and 30 chartered vessels
between 500 and 3500 metric tonnes. Area of operations are the Benelux
countries and Germany; the head office is at Oosterhout, conveniently located
on the Wilhelmina Canal.
Another way of expanding business is the firm’s growing involvement in container terminal exploitation in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, during the years 2000-2002. While it is true that mostly containers are transported, recently bulk shipping – chiefly construction materials – has been taken up as well.
The company has a flag horizontally divided red above blue is placed
a large yellow diamond, fimbriated in white and bearing a black outlined
initial ‘H’; the size of the diamond and the width of the fimbriation are
such that of the red and blue areas only triangles remain who moreover
do not touch.

Houseflag of N.V. Stoomboot-Maatschappij "Hilligersberg", Amsterdam
Image from Flagchart of houseflags of Dutch shipping companies, attached
to the magazine "De Blauwe Wimpel", April 1956.
Jarig Bakker, 1 Feb 2001
N.V. Stoomboot-Maatschappij "Hilligersberg" should read "Hillegersberg".
One of the companies operated by Vinke & Co./Vinke & Zonen; its
vessels changed to the ownership of associate N.V Stoomboot Maatschappij
"Oostzee" on the mid 1960s.

Another Dutch inland navigation flag in the national colours with a
black-on-yellow emblem is flown by Hoekstra Transport, a young company
(active since 1995).
Two vessels transport bulk (sand, gravel), special loads, containers,
or waste products such as polluted slip. Hoekstra cooperates with CZB,
already presented.
The Company website (without
address, however), shows a flagoid.
The house flag looks like a skewed rendition of the Dutch national
flag, the white stripe being transformed into two wedges oriented towards
a point near the hoist where a yellow disk bearing a black initial ‘H’
is situated. In addition, the larger wedge - in the fly - has the word
“transport” (lower case) in black.

FTS Hofftrans, located at Botlek (Rotterdam), is a Dutch firm describing itself as the second largest independent heavy fuel transporter, with offices at Dordrecht and Antwerp (Belgium). Website, leading to the complete Dutch version – the one in English is still rather sketchy.
In the ‘Strategie’ and ‘Historie’ sections we learn that FTS (Fuel Transport Service) – founded in 1985 by J. Braams – and Hofftrans BV – founded in 1991 by A. van ‘t Hoff - merged to form the current firm, active in the ARA area we have come to know and also on the Rhine and German canals. This merger took place after a period of cooperation, starting 1997, between the former competitors thus ensuring their common place in a dynamic market.
Still expanding, FTS Hofftrans has recently launched its ninth double-hulled tanker and owns three single-hulled tankers of the fifteen currently under contract. Also of growing importance are oil storage facilities.
The logo on the site is shown in a flag drawing on the Binnenvaart
site (vessel ‘Maxima’), dominating the white field. Said logo
consists of a blue figure ‘1’ (at least that is how I interpret it) overwritten
by a yellow diagonal stripe echoed in the smaller yellow slash mark between
the names ‘FTS’ and ‘HOFFTRANS’ in blue appearing under the ‘1’.

Hollandsche Aanneming Maatschappij B.V., Den Haag.
Flag: horizontal green over orange, proportioned c. 3:1; on green the
firm's logo.
(the firm's trademark is a crab - the name means: contracting society,
probably mostly in dredging and other activities crabs indulge in)

Here is the GIF of the house flag of Hollandsche Algemeene Atlantische
Scheepvaartmaatschappij, Amsterdam. A tramp freighter company which,
during its brief existence (1917-1922), had operated no less than 16
seagoing ships.

Koninklijke Hollandsche Lloyd, Amsterdam - red - white - red proportioned
1:4:1; on the central stripe the colored seal
of the States General, with a yellow (or white?) crown in the red stripe;
the seal is yellow with a red lion passant armed and tongued blue, holding
a bundle of 7 blue arrows in its left paw, and a blue sword in its right
paw. On Josef
Nüsse's site is a good image (too dificult for me).
Jarig Bakker, 22 Oct 2003
The Hollandsche Lloyd was allowed to use "koninklijk" (royal)
in front of its name, so its official name was Koninklijke Hollandsche
Lloyd.
After it lost its independence it belonged first to Müller;
it was later taken over by the KNSM, and, together
with the KNSM it became part of Ned Lloyd.
