From multiple agent to insurance broker
of the Norddeutsche Vermögen fleet
1800
Herm Schuldt was registered with the city of Flensburg’s trade register on 5 th June 1897. The company’s main activity was the insurance of H. Schuldt’s fleet and also partially for the goods transported in its ships.

After the First World War, the company’s development into an underwriting agent became
increasingly pronounced. However, the company always continued to focus on insuring the company’s
own fleet against maritime risks.
The earliest agency contract goes back to 1924. Since this time, Herm. Schuldt has maintained
agency contracts with a range of important national and international insurance companies and has
operated a successful business for third parties as well.

In the late 1990s, the group was restructured and the shipping company, including its incidental
activities, was sold to the Norddeutsche Vermögen Group. As part of this process, the business for
third parties has also been restructured, enabling Herm. Schuldt to concentrate once more on its
traditional core business, that of insuring its own fleet, which it successfully manages today with
its numerous connections in the insurance markets in Great Britain, Scandinavia, the USA and the
Far East.
