The flag

The Centraal Bureau voor de Rijn en Binnenvaart (Central Office for the Rhine and Inland navigation) is an institution representing the interests of owners and skippers involved in inland navigation. The society was established in 1929 and the homebase was Rotterdam. On the first flag are not only two proud lions depicted but also the motto 'Navigare Pergimus' (we sail on). From the beginning on the intention was to represent Rhine shipping, inland and tanker shipping, towing services and passenger shipping. Several other societies dealing with the interests of other skippers joined the CBRB during the years. In April 2022 the society itself amalgamated with another society representing entrepreneurs in the inland navigation, the Koninklijke BLN-Schuttevaer to form Koninklijke Binnenvaart Nederland (Royal Inland Navigation Netherlands). So far, no flag of this new society was reported.
