Pantaenius Hull Insurance – What is included?

All risk policy.

Pantaenius offers an All Risk Policy for your sailing yacht's hull, machinery, equipment and gear. Cover is extended to tenders, outboards and other personal effects used in conjunction with the boat.

New for old

Pantaenius settles partial losses up to the insured value without any deductions. If selected, damage to equipment and gear will be replaced with new models at no deduction to you, "New for Old".

Worldwide Cruising

We are one of the very few insurers that provide worldwide coverage for Bluewater sailors. Sail from ocean to ocean with no worries surrounding your insurance coverage.

Agreed fixed value

Unlike many other boat insurers who insure market values, we can provide an Agreed Fixed Value policy. The agreed sum insured will be reimbursed to you in case of a total loss with no deduction.

No deductible

No deductible will be charged in the event of a total loss or when your yacht or boat is moored at its permanent marina berth. Inspection after grounding, comercial towing fees and emergency costs are also covered without your additional contribution.

Claims service

Claims are managed by Pantaenius' own in-house, yacht claims specialists. Whether cruising locally or abroad, our international claims network will be there to advise and assist you when necessary.

Pantaenius makes sailing yacht insurance plain sailing…

Whether you partake in racing or cruising, you will have peace of mind knowing your sailing boat insurance will protect you from the financial costs resulting from an accident. The easy to understand policy wording means you will know exactly where you stand should things go wrong.

It is very important that your sailing yacht insurance meets all your marine needs so that you are able to enjoy the limited amount of leisure time on your boat with family and friends. We highly recommend Pantaenius‘ Yacht Hull Insurance as it is one of the most important policies on the market. It protects you from financial burdens resulting from accidental loss or damage to your vessel etc. Yacht Third Party Liability is another widely-used policy as it offers cover for damages caused against a third party. Pantaenius Yacht Personal Accident Insurance can be the right choice because it covers costs resulting from accidents causing disability or even death.

Pantaenius specialise in providing marine insurance with a number of unique features including the all-risk policy, agreed fix value, and no deductions in most circumstances, when you make a claim. This means that you will have the yacht insurance cover that meets your entire needs.

One Policy = Complete Cover

Your passion may lead you further offshore, to cruise outside Australia in the wide expanse of the world’s bluewater. Pantaenius can provide insurance for your sailing yacht wherever you would like to make passage, all under the one policy. This means you don’t have to find another insurer when sailing to different parts of the world. Simply advise Pantaenius when you are moving grounds, and the policy and premium will be adjusted accordingly.

Offices around the world, in conjunction with a 24/7 claims line, means the team at Pantaenius will be able to have you back on the water quickly as possible, should something go wrong. Whether your enjoyment in sailing comes from cruising, racing or the time spent with family and friends sitting on the mooring after a day on the water, it is important that you are protected from the financial risks in the event of an accident. The last thing you want is for your enjoyment to become a liability.

Marine insurance Broker services across Australia

A global business, the marine industry exposes importers, exporters, and vessel owners to a variety of risks and vulnerabilities. With vessels and goods crossing oceans and international borders, protecting your marine business and goods requires global insurance that provides coverage worldwide. Our insurance brokers are ready to explain how marine insurance works and to deliver tailored insurance for your goods and vessels. We work with important insurance companies that specialize in providing the right insurance in various marine fields. Our research work and insurance recommendations will make your choice easier and help you select the best insurance for your needs!

Best choice marine insurance company for your needs

Marine insurance is designed to protect business owners who transport goods within Australia or import/export goods to and from overseas. Globalisation plays an important role in the marine business and creates the need for tailored insurance policies to keep the goods moved across oceans, land, and international borders, safe and secure. This type of insurance is especially necessary when trading with lesser developed countries that expose your goods and vessels to damage or theft.

Marine insurance is tailored to answer the needs of:

• importers/exporters
• distributors
• commodity traders
• manufacturers
• vessel owners/charterers/operators
• logistics companies

Moreover, our insurances can be customized to provide protection for inland marine and marine operations/liabilities worldwide. Since customers expect shorter manufacturing and delivery times, anything that disturbs the initial transit schedule might affect the lead times and your business relationships. Marine insurance has your back and protects good transport in all its forms – port to port or warehouse to warehouse. Let your insurance cover watch over your business and protect your reputation!

Marine transit insurances

Designed to provide protection for commercial cargo in transit, marine transit insurance protects your stock when in transit to or from Australia, as well as when the goods are transported inland within the country. Moreover, the insurance also provides safety and protection for goods from the time of collection to delivery.

When selected properly, marine transit insurance can protect business owners from potential liability claims if the cargo (even in the situation when the goods are not your property) or even the vessel itself is lost or damaged at seas.  Marine transit insurance also applies to transport/freight companies that move or manage the moving of goods and is created to protect the purchasers/sellers of the transported goods too. Transit is not only limited to the sea – it also includes road, rail, and air segments.

Marine cargo insurances

Marine cargo insurance provides coverage for your goods or other person’s goods transported by you or a professional carrier. The definition of goods in transit includes everything from stock and customer goods to items transported for service or repair.

Considering that many transport companies will not take responsibility and compensate you if the products get damaged/lost in transit, marine cargo insurance provides the best protection for your cargo in transit. Let our insurance agents foresee the unforeseeable and take care of your marine cargo insurance for you!

How to Sell Yacht Insurance Amidst a Rising Tide

The market for yacht insurance has hardened in recent years, due to the frequency and severity of catastrophic (CAT) claims. Widespread losses incurred along the West Coast of Florida and the Atlantic Coast from Hurricane Ian in 2022, for example, resulted in more than $112 billion in damages. Because of catastrophes such as Ian, many watercraft insurance carriers – both admitted and non-admitted – have pulled out of the market in coastal areas.

For carriers that continue to provide coverage in hurricane-prone states, premium costs have doubled or tripled. The increased coverage costs and the difficulty in securing boat coverage has deterred some from purchasing them – but not all. Brokers today are challenged with securing coverage for their high-net-worth clients even in high-risk areas.

In this market segment, there are three tiers of coverage for high-end boats, based on cost and size of the boat:

• Top tier boats have values of $2 million or greater, are at least 65-feet long or larger and must have a full-time captain.
• Middle tier boats are valued between $350,000 and $2 million and are between 35-feet and 65-feet long and the owner-operator is typically the full-time captain.
• First tier boats cost up to $350,000 and are 15-feet to 35-feet long.

Incidentally, middle tier boats are the most difficult to secure coverage for, due to the number of high claims filed and the types of boats covered within this tier. Premiums can run comparatively higher than other tiers as a result.

What can brokers do to help their insureds?

Much of your focus when searching for yacht coverage for clients should begin with a discussion on the age of the craft. Advise your clients that older boats – especially those 10 years and older – are more costly to cover and are harder to insure.

Here are six tips to help guide brokers as they advise boat-owning clients on how to mitigate risk and secure coverage.

• Don’t jump ship.

Sometimes the purchase of a larger or more expensive boat can make obtaining coverage difficult. If a client considers upgrading from a 25-foot craft to a 40-foot one, for example, it’s prudent for you to let them know that they will need a captain’s sign off and premium costs will increase. That is, if the carrier accepts the risk in the first place.

• Be proactive about obtaining insurance.

Advise clients to start looking for insurance the day they begin shopping for a boat. Other than first-tier purchases, same day quote-and-bind processes are a thing of the past. Securing coverage for middle- and top-tier crafts can now take up to a week.

In addition, inform boat owners that many insurers require them to hire a captain for 50 hours of training if piloting a craft larger than 10 feet to 12 feet in size, or depending on the size of the boat, they may have to hire a full-time captain to place coverage.

• Have a hurricane plan in place.

Most carriers require boat owners have a plan should a hurricane occur. Advise owners they may have to move their boats inland or to a facility that’s rated to withstand hurricanes. If domiciled in a hurricane-prone state, owners may have to store their boats in a CAT-4 or CAT-5 rated facility when not in use.

• Don’t be an absentee owner.

Advise clients about the perils associated with absentee ownership. Clients who live in a state other than where the boat is stored are considered absentee owners. In the current market, this significantly limits the number of carriers that will actually extend coverage to out-of-state boat owners.

• Stay mindful of wind coverages and exclusions.

In the past year or so, carriers have begun to exclude some wind coverage; an exclusion that applies to named hurricanes or tropical storms. In the case of routine storms, wind coverage does apply. Marine coverage is not needed for those without bank loans. However, financing boat purchases will require owners to carry wind coverage and proof of such protection before closing.

• Maintenance matters more than ever.

Inform clients that regular maintenance is imperative for reducing risk and should be considered a part of their insurance strategy. Scheduled oil changes are vital but inboard motors require a closer inspection of parts such as impellers. A worn impeller can cause overheating and a failure to follow scheduled maintenance requirements can result in a denied claim. Along similar lines, fire and safety equipment should be evaluated to ensure those systems are in proper working order.

VESSEL REVIEW | Sinichka – Electric commuter boats designed for Russia’s Moskva River

A series of three new electric monohull commuter ferries have already begun operational sailings on the Moskva River in the Russian capital Moscow.

Built by Russian shipyard Emperium, sister vessels Sinichka , Filka , and Presnya – all named after rivers in Moscow – are being operated by the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development (Moscow Deptrans). They are the first units of a planned fleet of 20 vessels that will serve the capital city and other nearby communities. The new ferry system will be the water transport system to be operated on the Moskva River in 16 years.

Each vessel has a welded aluminium hull, an LOA of 21 metres, a beam of 6.2 metres, a draught of only 1.4 metres, a displacement of 40 tonnes, and capacity for 80 passengers plus two crewmembers. Seating is available for 42 passengers on each ferry, and the main cabins are also fitted with USB charging ports, wifi connectivity, tables, toilets, and space for bicycles and scooters. The cabin layout can be rearranged to allow the operator to adjust the distances between the seats and to install armrests of varying widths.

An open upper deck is also accessible to passengers and is the only area on each ferry where smoking is allowed.

The ferries are all of modular construction with each ferry’s wheelhouse, main cabin, and other structural elements being built as complete, separate components. This enables the ferries to be easily dismantled for transport to anywhere in Russia by rail and then quickly re-assembled within seven days.

The ferries are also ice-capable. Recently completed operational trials on the Moskva showed that the vessels can also easily navigate under mild winter conditions with broken surface ice, though year-round operations are planned for the entire fleet.

The ferries are each fitted with 500kWh lithium iron phosphate battery packs that supply power to two 134kW motors. This configuration can deliver a maximum speed of 11.8 knots, a cruising speed of just under 10 knots, and a range of 150 kilometres.

Emperium said the transfer of rotation of electric motors to the propeller is carried out by direct drive. As a propulsion installation, a pulling rotary propeller-steering column with double screws is used. The installation of double pulling screws, with similar power, allows an operator to increase the efficiency of the propulsion system to deliver a slightly higher speed or to reduce energy consumption. This arrangement also provides the ferries with enhanced manoeuvrability necessary for navigating in close quarters.

The batteries themselves have projected service lives of 10 to 12 years and are fitted with safety features such as built-in fire extinguishers and gas vents. Quick-disconnect features allow the batteries to be easily removed for replacement or maintenance.

Some of our readers have expressed disquiet at our publication of reviews and articles describing new vessels from Russia. We at Baird Maritime can understand and sympathise with those views. However, despite the behaviour of the country’s leaders, we believe that the maritime world needs to learn of the latest developments in vessel design and construction there.
