United Netherlands Navigation Co. Correct name Vereenigde Nederlandsche Scheepvaartmaatschappij N.V. and this edition of Stewart apparently shows red instead of the correct orange, probably as a result of printing restrictions, and is not the only one with others showing it as yellow for the same reason.

Holland West-Africa Lijn was a joint service operated by Vereenigde Nederlandsche Scheepvaart-Maatschappij N.V. and Hollandsche Stoomboot Maatschappij N.V., the latter appearing to withdraw around the mid 1960s. By the beginning of the 1970s they are no longer shown in Lloyds though it appears that the constituent companies used their own vessels in the service so it may have continued. Although book sources show the flag as displayed, the flag at the Josef Nüsse's site has a different lettering style.
