The flags of Maatschappij Zeeland and Hudig
& Veder are one and the same.
Sources vary on the shape of the lettering but the 2nd as shown for
the latter is apparently the correct one coming from the site and is that
shown by the later publications. The relationship is that Hudig & Veder
N.V. were operators, probably owners, of N.V. Maatschappij Zeeland.
I do not know whether it signifies a change in the flag of Hudig &
Pieters' Algemeene Scheepvaart Maatschappij N.V., but pre WW2 Brown sources
do not show and edging of the white panel from the cross.

Hudig & Veder - white with blue letters H&V and a blue five-pointed
star at the hoist.
This flag is nearly identical to the one of Maatschappij Zeevaart;
the differences are different fonts and a darker blue color. So far I have
found no relationship between the two companies. There is a relationship
between Hudig & Veder, and Hudig & Peters - same family,
but there seems to have been a bitter feud...
