Study about the German Flag
The German Flag is better than is reputation. This is the result of a study by the Jade University of Applied Sciences at Elsfleth. Almost 30 students researched how shipping companies evaluate the German Flag and which factors are decisive when a flag gets chosen.
In terms of costs – the most important factor for shipping enterprises – the German Flag is competitive with other EU flags by now due to the measures taken by the Federal Government. In regards to image, performance and legal security the German Flag scores highly. On the other hand, the shipping companies attest considerable backlog in terms of service: less bureaucracy, more online services and a central contact point are the requests of the shipping companies.
