Pantaenius GmbH & Co. KG – Who are we? What do we do?
Broker information
Pantaenius acts as a ‘bonded insurance agent’ according § 34d para. 1 German Trade, Commerce and Industry Regulation Act for pools of insurers regarding the following insurance classes: Yacht Hull, Yacht Third Party Liability, Yacht Personal Accident and for one Yacht Legal Expenses insurer. Pantaenius’ activity corresponds to this of an ‘underwriting agent’ who is given wide-ranging authority by insurers. Yacht owners can therefore be confident that all statements made to Pantaenius are treated as having been received by the insurers. The same applies to premium payments made to Pantaenius. Pantaenius offers everything on a professional basis – from the conclusion of a contract to claims payment.
According to legal requirements Pantaenius’ entry into the insurance broker register is made in the name of Harald Baum GmbH, the partner of Pantaenius GmbH & Co. KG having unlimited liability. You will therefore find the entry in the insurance broker register under the name of Harald Baum GmbH, as an insurance agent under § 34d German Trade, Commerce and Industry Regulation Act. The registration number is D-57B1-CBTDS-70.
All insurance brokers’ entries could be verified at: Deutscher Industrie- und Handelskammertag (DIHK) e. V. [German Chambers of Industry and Commerce, registered association] Breite Strasse 29, 10178 Berlin Tel: 0180 500 5850 (14 eurocents per minute from German landlines, with different pricing for calls made from mobile networks) or by visiting www.vermittlerregister.info.
Consultancy and market and information principles
With over a hundred years of experience, Pantaenius not only designs its own insurance concepts, but offers a diversity of yacht insurance products in co-operation with single insurers or pools of insurers. Each pool is brought together on selection of appropriate insurers following close market observation.
Pantaenius has a reputation for innovation, and its specialists are constantly devising new yacht insurance terms and conditions and customising existing conditions as appropriate to developments within the market. Our products are suitable for owners of private and pleasure yachts.
We should like to point out that Pantaenius offers a limited range of insurance products and insurer pools that are exclusively arranged by Pantaenius.
The insurers that are involved will be clearly stated in your proposal document for each of the relevant insurance products. The appendix also contains a list of all the insurers with whom we work.
